The King James Version Bible

1 Timothy 6:9-12

  1. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

  2. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

  3. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

  4. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
