3. If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to that doctrine which is according to godliness,
4. He is proud, knowing nothing, but sick about questions and strifes of words; from which arise envies, contentions, blasphemies, evil suspicions,
5. Conflicts of men corrupted in mind, and who are destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness.
6. But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7. For we brought nothing into this world: and certainly we can carry nothing out.
8. But having food, and wherewith to be covered, with these we are content.
9. For they that will become rich, fall into temptation, and into the snare of the devil, and into many unprofitable and hurtful desires, which drown men into destruction and perdition.
10. For the desire of money is the root of all evils; which some coveting have erred from the faith, and have entangled themselves in many sorrows.
11. But thou, O man of God, fly these things: and pursue justice, godliness, faith, charity, patience, mildness.
