1 Timothy 6:9-12 But those having purposed to be rich fall into temptation, and a snare, and many foolish and hurtful lusts, which plunge men into destruction and loss.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ But those having purposed to be rich fall into temptation, and a snare, and many foolish and hurtful lusts, which plunge men into destruction and loss. ¹⁰ For the love of money is a root of all evils, by means of which some having lusted after it were seduced from the faith, and they themselves pierced through by many pains. ¹¹ But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and meekness. ¹² Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and confessed the good confession before many witnesses.
