But godliness
with contentment
is great gain.
For we brought nothing
into the world,
and we can take nothing
out of it.
But if we have food and clothing,
we will be content with that.
Those who want to get rich
fall into temptation
and a trap
and into many foolish and harmful desires
that plunge people into ruin and destruction.
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.
