1 Timothy 6:4-10
English Standard Version
4 (A)he is puffed up with conceit and (B)understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for (C)controversy and for (D)quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, 5 and constant friction among people (E)who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, (F)imagining that godliness is a means of gain. 6 But (G)godliness (H)with contentment is great gain, 7 for (I)we brought nothing into the world, and[a] we cannot take anything out of the world. 8 But (J)if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. 9 But (K)those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, (L)into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that (M)plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of (N)all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.
