1 Timothy 6:9

False Teachers And The Love Of Money

⁸ When we have food and raiment, let us therewith be content. 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.
