1 Timothy 6:9 in Context — 1 Timothy 6
7 car nous n’avons rien apporté dans le monde, et il est évident que nous n’en pouvons rien emporter;
8 si donc nous avons la nourriture et le vêtement, cela nous suffira.
9 Mais ceux qui veulent s’enrichir tombent dans la tentation, dans le piège, et dans beaucoup de désirs insensés et pernicieux qui plongent les hommes dans la ruine et la perdition.
10 Car l’amour de l’argent est une racine de tous les maux; et quelques-uns, en étant possédés, se sont égarés loin de la foi, et se sont jetés eux-mêmes dans bien des tourments.
11 Pour toi, homme de Dieu, fuis ces choses, et recherche la justice, la piété, la foi, la charité, la patience, la douceur.
