"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."
— 1 Timothy 6:5, NET Bible
“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.”
“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 must not show them less respect because they are brothers. Instead they are to serve all the more, because those who benefit from their service are believers and dearly loved. Summary of Timothy’s DutiesTeach them and exhort them about these things.
If someone spreads false teachings and does not agree with sound words(that is, those of our Lord Jesus Christ) and with the teaching that accords with godliness,
he is conceited and understands nothing, but has an unhealthy interest in controversies and verbal disputes. This gives rise to envy, dissension, slanders, evil suspicions,
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.
Now godliness combined with contentment brings great profit.
For we have brought nothing into this world and so we cannot take a single thing out either.
But if we have food and shelter, we will be satisfied with that.
