7. We brought nothing into the world, so we can take nothing out.
8. But, if we have food and clothes, we will be satisfied with that.
9. Those who want to become rich bring temptation to themselves and are caught in a trap. They want many foolish and harmful things that ruin and destroy people.
10. The love of money causes all kinds of evil. Some people have left the faith, because they wanted to get more money, but they have caused themselves much sorrow.
11. But you, man of God, run away from all those things. Instead, live in the right way, serve God, have faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
12. Fight the good fight of faith, grabbing hold of the life that continues forever. You were called to have that life when you confessed the good confession before many witnesses.
13. In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, I give you a command. Christ Jesus made the good confession when he stood before Pontius Pilate.
14. Do what you were commanded to do without wrong or blame until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.
