1 Timothy 6:3–11

³if any one be teaching otherwise, and do not consent to sound words—those of our Lord Jesus Christ—and to the teaching according to piety, ⁴he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and word-striving, out of which doth come envy, strife, evil-speakings, evil-surmisings, ⁵wranglings of men wholly corrupted in mind, and destitute of the truth, supposing the piety to be gain; depart from such.

⁶But it is great gain—the piety with contentment; ⁷for nothing did we bring into the world—it is manifest that we are able to carry nothing out; ⁸but having food and raiment—with these we shall suffice ourselves; ⁹and those wishing to be rich, do fall into temptation and a snare, and many desires, foolish and hurtful, that sink men into ruin and destruction, ¹⁰for a root of all the evils is the love of money, which certain longing for did go astray from the faith, and themselves did pierce through with many sorrows; ¹¹and thou, O man of God, these things flee, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, meekness;
