1 Timothy 6:8
6 Of course, godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into the world, so we cannot carry anything out of it.
But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.
9 Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction.
10 For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.
