1 TIMOTHY 6:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.”
But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction — the cascade of consequence: the epithumia (desire) for ploutos (wealth) leads through peirasmos (temptation) and pagis (snare) into bathus (deep) perdition. Financial ambition proves spiritually lethal.
