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

2 See that they which have believing masters despise them not because they are brethren: but so much the rather do service, forasmuch as they are believing and beloved and partakers of the benefits. These things teach and exhort. 3 If any man teach otherwise, and is not content with the wholesome words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine of godliness, 4 he is puffed up and knoweth nothing: but wasteth his brains about questions, and strife of words, whereof spring envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings 5 and vain disputations of men with corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, which think that lucre is godliness. From such, separate thyself. 6 Godliness is great riches, if a man be content with that he hath.

7 For we brought nothing into the world, and it is a plain case that we can carry nothing out. 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.
