BIBLE READING
1 Timothy 6
Verses 3 to 10
Whoever teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the
true words of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the teaching of our
religion is swollen with pride and knows nothing.
He has an unhealthy desire to argue and quarrel about words,
and this brings on jealousy, disputes, insults, evil suspicions, and
constant arguments from people whose minds do not function
and who no longer have the truth. They think that religion is a
way to become rich.
Well, religion does make us very rich, if we are satisfied with
what we have. What did we bring into the world? Nothing! What
can we take out of the world? Nothing! So then, if we have food
and clothes, that should be enough for us. But those who want
to get rich fall into temptation and are caught in the trap of many
foolish and harmful desires, which pull them down to ruin and
destruction. For the love of money is a source of all kinds of evil.
Some have been so eager to have it that they have wandered
away from the faith and have broken their hearts with many
sorrows.
