Prosperity, Great Gain and True Success
“If
anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words
of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, he
is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over
words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, useless
wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that
godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself. Now godliness with
contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is
certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we
shall be content. 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. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which
some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves
through with many sorrows. But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue
righteousness, godliness, faith, love patience, gentleness.”
1 Timothy 6:3-11 NKJV
