1 Timothy 6:10

Read in context

1 Timothy 6:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.

9 Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared 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. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.

11 But you, O man of God, flee from these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.

12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made the good confession before many witnesses.
