"For the love of money is a root of all evils;
it is through this craving that some
have been led astray and have
wandered from the faith
and pierced themselves through
with many acute mental pangs.
"But as for you, O people of God,
flee from all (evil) things;
aim at and pursue righteousness,
right standing with God and true goodness;
godliness, which is loving fear of God,
and being Christlike, faith, love,
steadfast patience, and gentleness of heart.
Fight the good fight of faith;
lay hold of the eternal life to which you
were summoned and for which you confessed
of faith before many witnesses,
In the presence of God
Who preserves alive all living things,
and of Christ Jesus,
Who in His testimony before Pontius Pilate
made a good confession, I solemnly charge you,
To keep all His precepts unsullied and flawless,
irreproachable until the appearing of
Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Anointed One.
1 Timothy 6:10-14
