5 Unprofitable occupations of men corrupted in mind, and deprived of the truth, thinking gain to be devotion: be separated from such. 6 But devotion with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, it is manifest that neither are we able to carry anything out. 8 And having sustenance and covering, with these let us be contented. 9 And they wishing to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and many eager desires, unwise and hurtful, which sink men into ruin and perdition. 10 For the root of all evils is the love of money: which some striving for, have been led astray from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many pains. 1 Timothy 6:5-10, Smith's Literal Translation.
