New Century Version

1 Timothy 6:4-10 New Century Version (NCV)

4. This person is full of pride and understands nothing, but is sick with a love for arguing and fighting about words. This brings jealousy, fighting, speaking against others, evil mistrust,

5. and constant quarrels from those who have evil minds and have lost the truth. They think that serving God is a way to get rich.

6. Serving God does make us very rich, if we are satisfied with what we have.

7. We brought nothing into the world, so we can take nothing out.

8. But, if we have food and clothes, we will be satisfied with that.

9. Those who want to become rich bring temptation to themselves and are caught in a trap. They want many foolish and harmful things that ruin and destroy people.

10. The love of money causes all kinds of evil. Some people have left the faith, because they wanted to get more money, but they have caused themselves much sorrow.
