1 Timothy 6:6-10

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ But godliness with contentment is great gain. ⁷ For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly^[a] cannot take anything out. ⁸ But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be satisfied.

⁹ Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge them into complete destruction and utter ruin. ¹⁰ For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evils. By striving for money, some have wandered away from the faith and have pierced themselves with many pains.
