1 Timothy 6:6-10
Welcome to our online Bible study.
We are glad that you are here.
Today we are reading 1 Timothy 6.
As we read, these verses stood out to me:
1 Timothy 6:6-10 - But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment. 7 For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either. 8 If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content. 9 But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
