Godliness with Contentment
6 Of course, godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, so certainly[fn] we cannot carry anything {out of it}. 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.
9 Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge [them] into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is [the] root of all kinds of evil. By craving [it], some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.
6:7 CT does not include certainly.
