1 Timothy 6:9

---

← 1 Timothy 6:8	1 Timothy 6:9 (KJV)	1 Timothy 6:10 →
And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.	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.
