1 Timothy 6:3–11

³If any man teach otherwise and consent not to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and to that doctrine which is according to godliness,

⁴He is proud, knowing nothing, but sick about questions and strifes of words; from which arise envies, contentions, blasphemies, evil suspicions,

⁵Conflicts of men corrupted in mind and who are destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness.

⁶But godliness with contentment is great gain.

⁷For we brought nothing into this world: and certainly we can carry nothing out.

⁸But having food and wherewith to be covered, with these we are content.

⁹For they that will become rich fall into temptation and into the snare of the devil and into many unprofitable and hurtful desires, which drown men into destruction and perdition.

¹⁰For the desire of money is the root of all evils; which some coveting have erred from the faith and have entangled themselves in many sorrows.

¹¹But thou, O man of God, flee these things: and pursue justice, godliness, faith, charity, patience, mildness.
