1 Timothy 6:8 Context
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. 10For the loue of money is the root of all euill, which while some coueted after, they haue erred from the faith, and pierced themselues through with many sorrowes.
