R227 7 For we R228 have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either. 8 If we have R229 food and covering, with these we shall be content. 9 But R230 those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a R231 snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10 For the R232 love of money is a root of all sorts F58 of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered R233 away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. 11 But flee R234 from these things, you man R235 of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, R236 love, R237 perseverance F59 {and} gentleness. 12 Fight R238 the good fight of faith; R239 take R240 hold of the eternal life to R241 which you were called, and you made the good confession R242 in the presence of many R243 witnesses.
