Notes

Index

If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to
the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to
godly teaching, he is conceited and understands
nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies
and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife,
malicious talk, evil suspicions and constant friction
between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of
the truth and who think that godliness is a means to
financial gain. But godliness with contentment is
great gain. For we brought nothing into the world,
and we take nothing out of it. But if we have food and
clothing, we will be content with that. People who want
to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into
many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into
ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of
all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have
wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with
many griefs.

1 Tim. 6:3-10
