1 Timothy 6:2-10 - False Teachers And True Contentment
2 And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they who receive the benefit are faithful and beloved. These things teach and exhort. 3 If any one teacheth other doctrine, and assenteth not to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness, 4 he is puffed up with pride, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, from which cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 incessant disputings of men corrupted in their minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that godliness is gain. 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into the world; and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 If we have, then, food and raiment, we will be therewith content.
9 But they who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is a root of all evils; which some coveting have strayed away from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many pangs.
