1 Timothy 6:2-10 - False Teachers And True Contentment

² But they who have believing masters, let them not think less of them, because they are brethren; but serve them the rather, because they are faithful and beloved, who have equally partaken of the benefit. These things teach and enjoin. ³ If any man teach another doctrine, and attend not to the sound words, which are those of Jesus Christ our Lord, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; ⁴ he is conceited, knowing nothing, but delirious with disputes and quarrels about words, from whence come wrath, contentions, evil speakings, wrong suspicions, ⁵ perverse wranglings of men corrupt in mind, and destitute of truth, who think to make gain of godliness; depart from such men. ⁶ But godliness with contentment is great gain.

⁷ For that we brought nothing into the world is evident, neither can we carry any thing out of it. ⁸ Having then food and raiment, let us be therewith content.

⁹ For they who will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful passions, which sink men in the abyss of destruction and perdition. ¹⁰ For the love of money is the root of all evils, which some coveting, have wandered away from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
