1 Timothy 6:4-10

CLV(i) 4 he is conceited, versed in nothing, but morbid about questionings and controversies, out of which is coming envy, strife, calumnies, wicked suspicions, 5 altercations of men of a decadent mind and deprived of the truth, inferring that devoutness is capital." 6 Now devoutness with contentment is great capital; 7 for nothing do we carry into the world, and it is evident that neither can we carry anything out." 8 Now, having sustenance and shelter, with these we shall be sufficed." 9 Now, those intending to be rich are falling into a trial and a trap and the many foolish and harmful desires which are swamping men in extermination and destruction." 10 For a root of all of the evils is the fondness for money, which some, craving, were led astray from the faith and try themselves on all sides with much pain."
