5 and persistent wranglings on the part of people whose intellects are disordered and they themselves blinded to all knowledge of the truth; who imagine that godliness means gain. 6 And godliness *is* gain, when associated with contentment; 7 for we brought nothing into the world, nor can we carry anything out of it; 8 and if we have food and clothing, with these we will be satisfied. 9 But people who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many unwise and pernicious ways which sink mankind in destruction and ruin. 10 For from love of money all sorts of evils arise; and some have so hankered after money as to be led astray from the faith and be pierced through with countless sorrows. 1 Timothy 6:5-10, Weymouth New Testament.
