1 Timothy 6:2-10 - False Teachers And True Contentment
2 Do not despise your believing masters, because they are brothers. Serve them, because they who partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. Teach and exhort these things. 3 If any man teaches a different doctrine, and does not consent to sound words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine that is according to godliness, 4 he is proud, knows nothing, has a morbid interest in questions and disputes about words, which leads to envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions, 5 frictions between men corrupted in mind and lacking in truth, supposing that godliness is a way of gain. 6 Godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 We brought nothing into the world and we can carry nothing out. 8 We should be content with having food and covering.
9 Those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts. These draw men into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some by longing for it have been led away from the faith. They have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
