5 wranglings of men corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth, supposing that godliness is a way of gain.

6 But godliness with contentment is great gain:

7 for we brought nothing into the world, for neither can we carry anything out;

8 but having food and covering we shall be therewith content.

9 But they that desire to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition.

10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
