katapi HOME 1 Timothy 6:2-10 - False Teaching and True Wealth  1Tm.6.2-106 2 Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful on the ground that they are brethren; rather they must serve all the better since those who benefit by their service are believers and beloved. Teach and urge these duties.

6 3 If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching which accords with godliness, 6 4 he is puffed up with conceit, he knows nothing; he has a morbid craving for controversy and for disputes about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, base suspicions, 6 5 and wrangling among men who are depraved in mind and bereft of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain. 6 6 There is great gain in godliness with contentment; 6 7 for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world; 6 8 but if we have food and clothing, with these we shall be content. 6 9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and hurtful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. 6 10 For the love of money is the root of all evils; it is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced their hearts with many pangs.
