1 Timothy 6:3-12
[SUP]3 [/SUP]If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
[SUP]4 [/SUP]He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
[SUP]5 [/SUP]Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]But godliness with contentment is great gain.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]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.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]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.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]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.
So for those who are too busy "counting money" and for those liking such, remember the words of Pharaoh.
Exodus 5:1-12
And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]And Pharaoh said, Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the Lord our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
[SUP]4[/SUP]And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
[SUP]7 [/SUP]Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
