1 Timothy 6:8-10
Tree of Life Version
[a] 8 But having food and clothing, with these things we shall be content. [b] 9 But those who want to be rich fall into temptation and a trap and many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. [c] 10 For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil—some, longing for it, have gone astray from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
