Good News Bible

1 Timothy 6:4-8 Good News Bible (GNB)

4. is swollen with pride and knows nothing. He has an unhealthy desire to argue and quarrel about words, and this brings on jealousy, disputes, insults, evil suspicions,

5. and constant arguments from people whose minds do not function and who no longer have the truth. They think that religion is a way to become rich.

6. Well, religion does make a person very rich, if he is satisfied with what he has.

7. What did we bring into the world? Nothing! What can we take out of the world? Nothing!

8. So then, if we have food and clothes, that should be enough for us.
