⁶ A devout life does bring wealth, but it's the rich simplicity of being yourself before God. ⁷ Since we entered the world penniless and will leave it penniless, ⁸ if we have bread on the table and shoes on our feet, that's enough. ⁹ But if it's only money these leaders are after, they'll self-destruct in no time. ¹⁰ Lust for money brings trouble and nothing but trouble. Going down that path, some lose their footing in the faith completely and live to regret it bitterly ever after.
