1 Timothy 6:10

---

← 1 Timothy 6:9	1 Timothy 6:10 (KJV)	1 Timothy 6:11 →
But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and [into] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.	For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.	But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
