1 Timothy 6:6-10
English Standard Version
6 But (A)godliness (B)with contentment is great gain, 7 for (C)we brought nothing into the world, and[a] we cannot take anything out of the world. 8 But (D)if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. 9 But (E)those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, (F)into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that (G)plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of (H)all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.
