5Bitter talk of men who, being evil in mind and dead to what is true, take the faith to be a way of making profit.
6But true faith, with peace of mind, is of great profit:
7For we came into the world with nothing, and we are not able to take anything out;
8But if we have food and a roof over us, let that be enough.
9But those who have a desire for wealth are falling into danger, and are taken as in a net by a number of foolish and damaging desires, through which men are overtaken by death and destruction.
10For the love of money is a root of all evil: and some whose hearts were fixed on it have been turned away from the faith, and been wounded with unnumbered sorrows.
11But you, O man of God, keep yourself from these things, and go after righteousness, religion, faith, love, a quiet mind, gentle behaviour.
