1 Timothy Chapter 6 Verse 5

Interpretation of 1 Timothy Chapter 6 Verse 5

1 Timothy 6:5 speaks to the danger of pursuing wealth and material gain as a pursuit of godliness. It warns against the wrong thinking of those who are “corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth” and believe that godliness is a way to gain riches. It reminds readers that it is not wrong to pursue wealth, but it should never be done at the expense of our faith. Instead, we should focus on living a life of godliness, humility, and contentment. Money should never be our primary goal, but a tool to provide us with the means to help others and spread the gospel.
