1 Timothy 6:3-10
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
3
If anyone advocates a different doctrine and does not agree with sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine conforming to godliness,
4
he is conceited
and
understands nothing; but he has a sick craving for controversial questions and disputes about words, from which come envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions,
5
and constant friction between people of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.
6
But godliness
actually
is a means of great gain
when
accompanied by contentment.
7
For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it, either.
8
If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content.
9
But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap, and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge people into ruin and destruction.
10
For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
King James Version
Chapter 6
3
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
4
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
5
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
6
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8
And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
9
But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 6
3
If anyone teaches false doctrine and does not agree with the sound teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the teaching that promotes godliness,
4
he is conceited and understands nothing, but has an unhealthy interest in disputes and arguments over words. From these come envy, quarreling, slander, evil suspicions,
5
and constant disagreement among people whose minds are depraved and deprived of the truth, who imagine that godliness is a way to material gain.
6
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7
For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out.
8
If we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.
9
But those who want to be rich fall into temptation, a trap, and many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge people into ruin and destruction.
10
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and by craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
New Living Translation
Chapter 6
3
Some people may contradict our teaching, but these are the wholesome teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. These teachings promote a godly life.
4
Anyone who teaches something different is arrogant and lacks understanding. Such a person has an unhealthy desire to quibble over the meaning of words. This stirs up arguments ending in jealousy, division, slander, and evil suspicions.
5
These people always cause trouble. Their minds are corrupt, and they have turned their backs on the truth. To them, a show of godliness is just a way to become wealthy.
6
Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth.
7
After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it.
8
So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content.
9
But people who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction.
10
For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.
English Standard Version
Chapter 6
3
If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness,
4
he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions,
5
and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.
6
But godliness with contentment is great gain,
7
for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world.
8
But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content.
9
But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.
10
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.
New International Version
Chapter 6
3
If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching,
4
they are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions
5
and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.
6
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7
For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.
8
But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.
9
Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.
10
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
New King James Version
Chapter 6
3
If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words,
even
the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness,
4
he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions,
5
useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a
means of
gain. From such withdraw yourself.
6
Now godliness with contentment is great gain.
7
For we brought nothing into
this
world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8
And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.
9
But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and
into
many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10
For the love of money is a root of all
kinds of
evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
