New American Standard Bible 1995

Instructions to Those Who Minister

11AllG3745 whoG3745 are underG5259 the yokeG2218 as slavesG1401 are to regardG2233 their ownG2398 mastersG1203 as worthyG514 of allG3956 honorG5092 soG2443 2that the nameG3686 of GodG2316 and our doctrineG1319 will not be 3spokenG987 againstG987. 2ThoseG3588 who haveG2192 believersG4103 as their mastersG1203 must not be disrespectfulG2706 to them becauseG3754 they are 4brethrenG80, but must serveG1398 them allG3123 the moreG3123, becauseG3754 thoseG3588 who 5partakeG482 of the benefitG2108 are believersG4103 and belovedG27. 6TeachG1321 and 7preachG3870 theseG3778 principles.

3IfG1487 anyoneG5100 8advocatesG2085 a differentG2085 doctrineG2085 and does not 9agreeG4334 with 10soundG5198 wordsG3056, thoseG3588 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, and with the doctrineG1319 11conformingG2596 to godlinessG2150, 4he is 12conceitedG5187 and understandsG1987 nothingG3367; but he 13hasG3552 a morbidG3552 interestG3552 in 14controversialG2214 questionsG2214 and 15disputesG3055 aboutG3055 wordsG3055, out of whichG3739 ariseG1096 envyG5355, strifeG2054, abusiveG988 languageG988, evilG4190 suspicionsG5283, 5and constantG1275 frictionG1275 between 16menG444 of depravedG1311 mindG3563 and deprivedG650 of the truthG225, who 17supposeG3543 that 18godlinessG2150 is a meansG4200 of gainG4200. 619But godlinessG2150 actually is a meansG4200 of 20greatG3173 gainG4200 when accompaniedG3326 by 21contentmentG841. 7For 22we have broughtG1533 nothingG3762 into the worldG2889, soG3754 we cannotG1410G3761 takeG1627 anythingG5100 out of it eitherG3761. 8If we 23haveG2192 foodG1305 and coveringG4629, with theseG3778 we shall be contentG714. 924But thoseG3588 who wantG1014 to getG4147 richG4147 fallG1706 into temptationG3986 and 25a snareG3803 and manyG4183 foolishG453 and harmfulG983 desiresG1939 whichG3748 plungeG1036 menG444 into ruinG3639 and destructionG684. 10For 26the loveG5365 of moneyG5365 is a rootG4491 of allG3956 27sorts of evilG2556, and someG5100 by longingG3713 for it have 28wanderedG635 awayG635 from the faithG4102 and piercedG4044 themselvesG1438 with manyG4183 griefsG3601.

11But 29fleeG5343 from theseG3778 thingsG3778, you 30manG444 of GodG2316, and pursueG1377 righteousnessG1343, godlinessG2150, 31faithG4102, 32loveG26, 33perseveranceG5281 and gentlenessG4239. 1234FightG75 the goodG2570 fightG73 of 35faithG4102; 36takeG1949 holdG1949 of the eternalG166 lifeG2222 37to whichG3739 you were calledG2564, and you madeG3670 the goodG2570 38confessionG3671 in the presenceG1799 of 39manyG4183 witnessesG3144. 1340I chargeG3853 you in the presenceG1799 of GodG2316, who 41givesG2225 lifeG2225 to allG3956 thingsG3956, and of 42ChristG5547 JesusG2424, who testifiedG3140 the 43goodG2570 confessionG3671 44beforeG1909 PontiusG4194 PilateG4091, 14that you keepG5083 the commandmentG1785 withoutG784G423 stainG784 or reproachG423 untilG3360 the 45appearingG2015 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 15whichG3739 He will 46bringG1166 about at 47the properG2398 timeG2540--He who is 48the blessedG3107 and 49onlyG3441 SovereignG1413, 50the KingG935 of 51kingsG936 and 52LordG2962 of 53lordsG2961, 1654who aloneG3441 possessesG2192 immortalityG110 and 55dwellsG3611 in unapproachableG676 lightG5457, 56whomG3739 noG3762 manG444 has seenG3708 orG3761 canG1410 seeG3708. 57To Him be honorG5092 and eternalG166 dominionG2904! AmenG281.

17InstructG3853 thoseG3588 who are richG4145 in 58thisG3588 presentG3568 worldG165 59not to be conceitedG5309 orG3366 to 60fixG1679 their hopeG1679 on the uncertaintyG83 of richesG4149, but on GodG2316, 61who richlyG4146 suppliesG3930 us with allG3956 thingsG3956 to enjoyG619. 18Instruct them to doG14 goodG14, to be richG4147 in 62goodG2570 63worksG2041, 64to be generousG2130 and readyG2843 to shareG2843, 1965storingG597 up for themselvesG1438 the treasureG597 of a goodG2570 foundationG2310 for the futureG3195, soG2443 that they may 66takeG1949 holdG1949 of that which is lifeG2222 indeedG3689.

20OG5599 67TimothyG5095, guardG5442 68whatG3866 has been entrustedG3866 to you, avoidingG1624 69worldlyG952 and emptyG2757 chatterG2757 and the opposingG477 argumentsG477 of whatG5581 is falselyG5581 calledG5581 “knowledgeG1108”-- 21whichG3739 someG5100 have professedG1861 and thus 70goneG795 astrayG795 71from 72the faithG4102.

73GraceG5485 be with you.
