1 Timothy 6:6 in context

1 Timothy 6:3–9

3

If anyone teaches a different doctrine and doesn’t consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,

4

he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions,

5

constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. Withdraw yourself from such.

6
Selected verse

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

7

For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out.

8

But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.

9

But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation, a snare, and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction.
