I Timothy 6:7-12
7 For we brought
nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.
8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.
9 People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into
many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction.
10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people,
eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with
many griefs.
11 But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness,
godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.
12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to
which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence
of many witnesses.
