1 Timothy 6:3-10 - False Teachers And The Love Of Money

³ If any one deviate from this doctrine, not adhering to the wholesome instructions of our Lord Jesus Christ, the true doctrine of piety, ⁴ he is full of pride and ignorance, touch'd with a spirit of chicanery and wrangling, productive of envy, contention, calumny, ⁵ mischievous opinions, and a familiarity with pernicious ignorant impostors, who consider religion only as it makes for their gain. ⁶ Religion indeed with contentment leads to great gain.

⁷ as we brought nothing into the world, certain it is, we can carry nothing away. having therefore food and raiment, ⁸ we ought to think that sufficient. but they who will be rich, expose

⁹ themselves to temptations and snares, and to many foolish noxious passions, which plunge men into ruin and perdition. for the love of money is the root of all evil: ¹⁰ which some having obtain'd, have revolted from the faith, and brought upon themselves variety of piercing pains.
