10 He who loves money ^hwill not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity.

6 But ^tgodliness with ^ucontentment is great gain, 7 for we brought nothing into the world, and¹ we ^vcannot take anything out of the world. 8 But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. 9 But ^wthose who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a ^xsnare, into many senseless and harmful desires that ^yplunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.

5 Keep your life free from ^zlove of money, and be ^acontent with what you have, for he has said, ^b“I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
