1 Timothy 6:6-10
Legacy Standard Bible
6 (A)But godliness actually is a means of (B)great gain, when accompanied by (C)contentment. 7 For (D)we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either. 8 And if we (E)have food and covering, with these we shall be content. 9 (F)But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and (G)a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10 For (H)the love of money is a root of all [a]sorts of evils, and some by aspiring to it have (I)wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

1 Timothy 6:6-10
American Standard Version
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain: 7 for we brought nothing into the world, for neither can we carry anything out; 8 but having food and covering [a]we shall be therewith content. 9 But they that are minded to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is a root of all [b]kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
