Timothy - 6:1 - Contentment

  6  But godliness with contentment is great gain.  7  For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out.  8  But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.  9  But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation, a snare, and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction.  10  For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Timothy - 5 - Drinking wine

  23  Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities.

1 Timothy 4:12

  12  Let no man despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity.  13  Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching.  14  Don’t neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the elders.  15  Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all.  16  Pay attention to yourself and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

1 Timothy - Adam and Eve - Man and Woman - Husband and Wife

  8  I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.  9  In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety, not *  with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing,  10  but with good works, which is appropriate for women professing godliness.  11  Let a woman learn in quietness with full submission.  12  But I don’t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.  13  For Adam was formed first, then Eve.  14  Adam wasn’t deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;  15  but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness with sobriety.
