1 Timothy 6:9-11

Thomson(i) 9 But they who determine to be rich, fall headlong into temptation, and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful desires, which plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is the root of all evil; to gratify which, some have wandered from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 11 But thou, man of God, shun these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.
