1 Timothy 6:7 Context
5Peruerse disputings of men of corrupt mindes, and destitute of the trueth, supposing that gaine is godlinesse: From such withdraw thy selfe. 6But godlinesse with contentment is great gaine. 7For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certaine we can cary nothing out. 8And hauing food and raiment let vs be therewith content. 9But they that will be rich, fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish & hurtfull lusts, which drowne men in destruction and perdition.
