1 Timothy 6:9

False Teachers And The Love Of Money

⁸ So that, sustenance and covering, let us be content with this. ⁹ But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. ¹⁰ For the love of money is the root of all evil, which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
