1 Timothy 6:6-19 ^6Of course, there is great gain in godliness combined with contentment; ^7for we brought nothing into the world, so that we can take nothing out of it; ^8but if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these. ^9But those who want to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. ^10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and in their eagerness to be rich some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains. ^11But as for you, man of God, shun all this; pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, gentleness. ^12Fight the good fight of the faith; take hold of the eternal life, to which you were called and for which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. ^13In the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who in his testimony before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I charge you ^14to keep the commandment without spot or blame until the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ, ^15which he will bring about at the right time—he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords. ^16It is he alone who has immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see; to him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen. ^17As for those who in the present age are rich, command them not to be haughty, or to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but rather on God who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. ^18They are to do good, to be rich in good works, generous, and ready to share, ^19thus storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the life that really is life.
