1 Timothy 6:6-10
New American 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 If we (E)have food and [a]covering, with these we shall be content. 9 (F)But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and (G)a trap, and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For (H)the love of money is a root of all [b]sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have (I)wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many [c]griefs.

1 Timothy 6:6-10
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
6 Now godliness with contentment is a means of great gain. 7 For we brought-in nothing to the world; it is clear that neither can we bring-out anything. 8 But having sustenance and coverings, with these things we shall be content. 9 But the ones wanting to be-rich fall into temptation and a snare, and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge[a] people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love-of-money is a root[b] of all evils— aspiring-to which, some were led-astray[c] from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains.
