There is great gain
In godliness with contentment;
For we brought nothing into this world
And we cannot take anything out the world;
But if we have food and clothing,
With these we shall be content.
But those who desire to be rich
Fall into temptation, into a snare.
Into many senseless and hurtful desires
That plunge men into ruin and destruction.
For the love of money
Is the root of all evils;
It is through this craving
That some have wandered away
From the faith And pierced their hearts
With many pangs.
