1 Timothy 6:2-10 - False Teachers And True Contentment
2 Those who have Christian believers as their masters must not take liberties with them because they are brothers; they must be all the better servants because those who get the good of their service are believers and beloved. This is what you are to teach and preach. 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.
