1 Timothy 6:10
“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”
This verse is part of a letter from Paul to Timothy, a young church leader, offering guidance on living a faithful life and leading a community in Ephesus around the mid-1st century CE. Paul is warning against various pitfalls that can corrupt faith and character, including a preoccupation with material wealth.
What might it look like to pursue contentment in your own life, rather than being led by a desire for more?
