1 Timothy 6:10-21 For a root of all of the evils is the fondness for money, which some, craving, were led astray from the faith and try themselves on all sides with much pain."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ For a root of all of the evils is the fondness for money, which some, craving, were led astray from the faith and try themselves on all sides with much pain." ¹¹ Now you, O man of God, flee from these things: yet pursue righteousness, devoutness, faith, love, with endurance, suffering, and meekness." ¹² Contend the ideal contest of the faith. Get hold of eonian life, for which you were called, and you avow the ideal avowal in the sight of many witnesses." ¹³ I am charging you in the sight of God, Who is vivifying all, and of Jesus Christ, Who testifies in the ideal avowal before Pontius Pilate, ¹⁴ that you keep this precept unspotted, irreprehensible, unto the advent of our Lord, Christ Jesus, ¹⁵ which, to its own eras, the happy and only Potentate will be showing: He is King of kings and Lord of lords, ¹⁶ Who alone has immortality, making His home in light inaccessible, Whom not one of mankind perceived nor can be perceiving, to Whom be honor and might eonian! Amen!" ¹⁷ Those who are rich in the current eon be charging not to be haughty, nor yet to rely on the dubiousness of riches, but on God, Who is tendering us all things richly for our enjoyment;" ¹⁸ to be doing good acts, to be rich in ideal acts, to be liberal contributors, ¹⁹ treasuring up for themselves an ideal foundation for that which is impending, that they may get hold of life really." ²⁰ O Timothy, that which is committed to you, guard, turning aside from the profane prattlings and antipathies of falsely named "knowledge, ²¹ which some are professing. As to the faith, they swerve. Grace be with you! Amen!"
