1 Timothy 6:8-10 So, continuously holding (or: having) nourishments (foods; sustenance) and effects of coverings (clothing or shelter) we will constantly be defended, made a match for, and warded off by these things (or: we shall habitually be contentedly satisfied with and sufficed in these things).

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ So, continuously holding (or: having) nourishments (foods; sustenance) and effects of coverings (clothing or shelter) we will constantly be defended, made a match for, and warded off by these things (or: we shall habitually be contentedly satisfied with and sufficed in these things). ⁹ Yet those wanting and determining to be rich are continually falling in – into a trial and a trap and many senseless and hurtful strong passions (many over-desires void of understanding and bringing weakness; disadvantageous wants and needs), which things habitually swamp those people, sinking them to the bottom, into ruinous corruption (or: destruction) and loss, ¹⁰ for a root of all the bad things (the worthless qualities; the injurious situations; the poor craftsmanship; the ugly personalities; the malicious desires) is the fondness of silver (= love of money; = covetousness) of which some, habitually extending and stretching themselves out to reach, are caused to wander off (or: were led astray) away from the faith and they pierce themselves through with a rod and put themselves on a spit (or: they run themselves through, stabbing themselves all around) for (or: in; to; with; by) many pains.
