4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions,
5 1useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.2 From asuch withdraw yourself.
6 Now godliness with acontentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into this world,1 and it is acertain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be acontent.
9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.
