1 Timothy 6:5-11 English Revised Version (ERV)

5. wranglings of men corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth, supposing that godliness is a way of gain.

6. But godliness with contentment is great gain:

7. for we brought nothing into the world, for neither can we carry anything out;

8. but having food and covering we shall be therewith content.

9. But they that desire to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition.

10. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

11. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
