Rejecting False Teaching and the Dangers of Loving Money
1 Timothy 6:3-10
3If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the teaching that accords with piety,4he is puffed up and understands nothing, but has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words, from which come envy, strife, blasphemies, evil suspicions,5and useless disputations among people of corrupt mind and deprived of the truth, who suppose that piety is a means of gain.6But piety with self-sufficiency is great gain.7For we brought nothing into the world, because we are not able to carry anything out.8But having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.9Those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.10For the love of money is a root of all evils, and by reaching after it some have wandered away from the faith and have pierced themselves with many griefs.
