[6:2] Teach and urge these things.
[6:3] If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness,
[6:4] he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions,
[6:5] and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.
[6:6] But godliness with contentment is great gain,
[6:7] for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world.
[6:8] But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content.
[6:9] But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.
[6:10] For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.
