False Teachers And The Love Of Money

9 They that will be rich, fall into temptation and snares, and into many foolish and noisome lusts, which drown men in perdition and destruction. 10 For covetousness is the root of all evil, which while some lusted after, they erred from the faith, and tangled themselves with many sorrows. 11 But thou, which art the man of God, flee such things. Follow righteousness, godliness, love, patience, and meekness.
