1 Timothy 6

1Let as manyG3745 as areG1510 servantsG1401 under the yokeG2218 count their ownG2398 mastersG1203 worthyG514 of all honorG5092, that the nameG3686 of GodG2316 and the doctrineG1319 beG1510 not blasphemedG987. 2And they that have believing mastersG1203, let them not despiseG2706 them, because they areG1510 brethren; but let them serveG1398 them the ratherG3123, because they that partake of the benefit areG1510 believing and belovedG27. These thingsG3778 teachG1321 and exhortG3870.

3If any man teacheth a different doctrineG1319, and consenteth not to soundG5198 wordsG3056, evenG2532 the wordsG3056 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, and to the doctrineG1319 which is accordingG2596 to godlinessG2150; 4he is puffed up, knowingG1987 nothingG3367, but doting about questionings and disputes of words, whereof cometh envyG5355, strifeG2054, railings, evilG4190 surmisings, 5wranglings of menG444 corrupted in mindG3563 and bereft of the truthG225, supposing that godlinessG2150 isG1510 a way of gainG4200. 6But godlinessG2150 with contentment isG1510 greatG3173 gainG4200: 7for we broughtG1533 nothing into the worldG2889, for neither can we carryG1627 anythingG5100 out; 8but having food and covering we shall be therewith contentG714. 9But they that are minded to be richG4147 fallG1706 into a temptationG3986 and a snareG3803 and manyG4183 foolishG453 and hurtful lustsG1939, such as drown menG444 in destructionG684 and perdition. 10For the love of money isG1510 a rootG4491 of all kinds of evilG2556: which some reaching after have beenG1510 led astray from the faithG4102, and have pierced themselves through with manyG4183 sorrows.

11But thou, O manG444 of GodG2316, fleeG5343 these thingsG3778; and follow after righteousnessG1343, godlinessG2150, faithG4102, loveG26, patience, meekness. 12FightG73 the goodG2570 fightG73 of the faithG4102, lay holdG1949 on the lifeG2222 eternalG166, whereunto thou wast calledG2564, and didst confessG3670 the goodG2570 confessionG3671 in the sight of manyG4183 witnessesG3144. 13I chargeG3853 thee in the sight of GodG2316, who giveth lifeG2225 to all thingsG3956, and of ChristG5547 JesusG2424, who before PontiusG4194 PilateG4091 witnessedG3140 the goodG2570 confessionG3671; 14that thou keepG5083 the commandmentG1785, without spot, without reproachG423, until the appearingG2015 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: 15which in its ownG2398 timesG2540 he shall showG1166, who is the blessed and onlyG3441 Potentate, the KingG935 of kingsG935, and LordG2962 of lordsG2962; 16who onlyG3441 hath immortalityG110, dwelling in lightG5457 unapproachable; whom no manG444 hath seenG3708, nor can seeG3708: to whom be honorG5092 and powerG2904 eternalG166. AmenG281.

17ChargeG3853 them that are richG4145 in this presentG3568 world, that they be not highminded, nor have their hopeG1679 set on the uncertainty of richesG4149, but on GodG2316, who giveth us richlyG4146 all thingsG3956 to enjoy; 18that they do goodG2570, that they beG1510 richG4147 in goodG2570 worksG2041, that they beG1510 ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19laying up in store for themselves a goodG2570 foundationG2310 against the time to comeG3195, that they may lay holdG1949 on the lifeG2222 which is lifeG2222 indeedG3689.

20O TimothyG5095, guardG5442 that which is committed unto thee, turning away from the profaneG952 babblings and oppositions of the knowledgeG1108 which is falsely so called; 21which some professing have erred concerningG4012 the faithG4102.

GraceG5485 be with you.
