1 Timothy 6:5
1 Timothy 6:2-5 The Message (MSG)
These are the things I want you to teach and preach. If you have leaders there who teach otherwise, who refuse the solid words of our Master Jesus and this godly instruction, tag them for what they are: ignorant windbags who infect the air with germs of envy, controversy, bad-mouthing, suspicious rumors. Eventually there’s an epidemic of backstabbing, and truth is but a distant memory. They think religion is a way to make a fast buck.
1 Timothy 6:5 King James Version (KJV)
perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
1 Timothy 6:5 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
and constant friction between men of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.
1 Timothy 6:5 New Century Version (NCV)
and constant quarrels from those who have evil minds and have lost the truth. They think that serving God is a way to get rich.
1 Timothy 6:5 American Standard Version (ASV)
wranglings of men corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth, supposing that godliness is a way of gain.

and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.
1 Timothy 6:5 New King James Version (NKJV)
useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.
1 Timothy 6:5 Amplified Bible (AMP)
and perpetual friction between men who are corrupted in mind and deprived of the truth, who think that godliness is a source of profit [a lucrative, money-making business—withdraw from them].
1 Timothy 6:5 New Living Translation (NLT)
These people always cause trouble. Their minds are corrupt, and they have turned their backs on the truth. To them, a show of godliness is just a way to become wealthy.
