Proper teaching and true contentment

1 Tim 6:2b–10

Those principles are what you should be teaching and encouraging the believers to do. 3If anyone is teaching different things and their living is far from the message of our master Yeshua the messiah and from godly teaching, 4that person is conceited. They don’t know anything, but instead obsess about debates and quibble about messages, and this leads to strife, slander, evil suspicions, 5and constant friction. People like this have ruined their minds and been robbed of the truth, thinking that they can gain financially by appearing godly.

6But genuine godly living does lead to contentment which is a big advantage, 7because we brought nothing with us into this world and we can’t take anything out of it either. 8As long as we have shelter and sustenance, then we’ll be content. 9Those who desire wealth fall into temptation. It’s a trap which leads to many foolish and harmful desires, resulting in people sinking into ruin and destruction 10because that desire for wealth is the root of all evil. Some who aspired to becoming wealthy wandered away from faith in Yeshua and wounded themselves with many disappointments.
