"the conflicts of men who have been corrupted in mind and deprived of truth, who consider profit to be piety. "
— 1 Timothy 6:5, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.”
“wranglings of men corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth, supposing that godliness is a way of gain. ”
“constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. Withdraw yourself from such.”
“and constant bickering by people corrupted in their minds and deprived of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a way of making a profit.”
“Conflicts of men corrupted in mind and who are destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness.”
“Bitter talk of men who, being evil in mind and dead to what is true, take the faith to be a way of making profit.”
“Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.”
But those who have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brothers, but rather serve them all the more because they are believing and beloved, participants of the same service. Teach and exhort these things.
If anyone teaches otherwise, and does not consent to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to that doctrine which is in accord with piety,
then he is arrogant, knowing nothing, yet languishing amid the questions and quarrels of words. From these arise envy, contention, blasphemy, evil suspicions:
the conflicts of men who have been corrupted in mind and deprived of truth, who consider profit to be piety.
But piety with sufficiency is great gain.
For we brought nothing into this world, and there is no doubt that we can take nothing away.
But, having nourishment and some kind of covering, we should be content with these.
