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

³ Anyone who teaches novelties and refuses to fall in with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the doctrine that tallies with piety, ⁴ is a conceited, ignorant creature, with a morbid passion for controversy and argument which only leads to envy, dissension, insults, insinuations, ⁵ and constant friction between people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the Truth. They imagine religion is a paying concern. ⁶ And so it is ??provided it goes with a contented spirit;

⁷ for we bring nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. ⁸ If we have food and clothes, we must be content with that.

⁹ Those who are eager to be rich get tempted and trapped in many senseless and pernicious propensities that drag men down to ruin and destruction. ¹⁰ For love of money is the root of all mischief; it is by aspiring to be rich that certain individuals have gone astray from the faith and found themselves pierced with many a pang of remorse.
