1 Timothy 6:7

Money and wealthContentmentDeath and loss

5 and constant friction between men of depraved mind who are devoid of the truth. These men regard godliness as a means of gain.

6 Of course, godliness with contentment is great gain.

For we brought nothing into the world, so we cannot carry anything out of it.

8 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.
