1 Timothy 6:7-12
New International Version
1 Timothy 6:7-12
New International Version
7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.(A) 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.(B) 9 Those who want to get rich(C) fall into temptation and a trap(D) and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money(E) is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith(F) and pierced themselves with many griefs.(G)
Final Charge to Timothy
11 But you, man of God,(H) flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness,(I) faith, love,(J) endurance and gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight(K) of the faith. Take hold of(L) the eternal life(M) to which you were called when you made your good confession(N) in the presence of many witnesses.

King James Version
1 Timothy 6:7-12
King James Version
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9 But they that will 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 the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
