1 Timothy 6:6-10

Expanded Bible

⁶ [^LBut] ·Serving God [Godliness; Piety] does ·make us very rich [bring great profit], ·if we are satisfied with what we have [when accompanied by contentment]. ⁷ [^LFor] We brought nothing into the world, so we can take nothing out. ⁸ But, if we have food and clothes, we will be satisfied with that. ⁹ Those who want to become rich ·bring temptation to themselves [^Lfall into temptation] and are caught in a trap. They ·want [desire] many foolish and harmful things that ·ruin and destroy people [^Lplunge people into ruin and destruction]. ¹⁰ [^LFor] The love of money ·causes [^Lis the root of] all kinds of evil. Some people have ·left [strayed/wandered from] the faith, because they wanted ·to get more money [^Lit], ·but they have caused themselves much sorrow [^Land have pierced themselves with many pains].
