1 Timothy 6:6-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ But godliness with contentment is great gain.

⁷ For we brought nothing into this world: and certainly we can carry nothing out.

⁸ But having food, and wherewith to be covered, with these we are content.

⁹ For they that will become rich, fall into temptation, and into the snare of the devil, and into many unprofitable and hurtful desires, which drown men into destruction and perdition.

¹⁰ For the desire of money is the root of all evils; which some coveting have erred from the faith, and have entangled themselves in many sorrows.

¹¹ But thou, O man of God, fly these things: and pursue justice, godliness, faith, charity, patience, mildness.
