False Teaching and True Riches (1TI 6:2-10)

[6:2] You must teach and preach these things.

[6:3] Whoever teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the true words of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the teaching of our religion

[6:4] is swollen with pride and knows nothing. He has an unhealthy desire to argue and quarrel about words, and this brings on jealousy, disputes, insults, evil suspicions,

[6:5] and constant arguments from people whose minds do not function and who no longer have the truth. They think that religion is a way to become rich.

[6:6] Well, religion does make us very rich, if we are satisfied with what we have.

[6:7] What did we bring into the world? Nothing! What can we take out of the world? Nothing!

[6:8] So then, if we have food and clothes, that should be enough for us.

[6:9] But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and are caught in the trap of many foolish and harmful desires, which pull them down to ruin and destruction.

[6:10] For the love of money is a source of all kinds of evil. Some have been so eager to have it that they have wandered away from the faith and have broken their hearts with many sorrows.
