1 Timothy 6:3-5

1 Timothy 6:3-5

If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, 4 he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, 5 and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.

Adam preaches 1 Tim. 6:3-5. Paul returns to confronting false teachers a third time, once again clearly describing their corrupt "ministry." Though Paul's language is harsh, it portrays the unchanging priority of biblical doctrine for the local church.
