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
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.
