1 Timothy 6:3-19

3IfG1487 anyoneG5100 1advocatesG2085 a differentG2085 doctrineG2085 and does not 2agreeG4334 with 3soundG5198 wordsG3056, thoseG3588 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, and with the doctrineG1319 4conformingG2596 to godlinessG2150, 4he is 5conceitedG5187 and understandsG1987 nothingG3367; but he 6hasG3552 a morbidG3552 interestG3552 in 7controversialG2214 questionsG2214 and 8disputesG3055 aboutG3055 wordsG3055, out of whichG3739 ariseG1096 envyG5355, strifeG2054, abusiveG988 languageG988, evilG4190 suspicionsG5283, 5and constantG1275 frictionG1275 between 9menG444 of depravedG1311 mindG3563 and deprivedG650 of the truthG225, who 10supposeG3543 that 11godlinessG2150 is a meansG4200 of gainG4200. 612But godlinessG2150 actually is a meansG4200 of 13greatG3173 gainG4200 when accompaniedG3326 by 14contentmentG841. 7For 15we have broughtG1533 nothingG3762 into the worldG2889, soG3754 we cannotG1410G3761 takeG1627 anythingG5100 out of it eitherG3761. 8If we 16haveG2192 foodG1305 and coveringG4629, with theseG3778 we shall be contentG714. 917But thoseG3588 who wantG1014 to getG4147 richG4147 fallG1706 into temptationG3986 and 18a snareG3803 and manyG4183 foolishG453 and harmfulG983 desiresG1939 whichG3748 plungeG1036 menG444 into ruinG3639 and destructionG684. 10For 19the loveG5365 of moneyG5365 is a rootG4491 of allG3956 20sorts of evilG2556, and someG5100 by longingG3713 for it have 21wanderedG635 awayG635 from the faithG4102 and piercedG4044 themselvesG1438 with manyG4183 griefsG3601.

11But 22fleeG5343 from theseG3778 thingsG3778, you 23manG444 of GodG2316, and pursueG1377 righteousnessG1343, godlinessG2150, 24faithG4102, 25loveG26, 26perseveranceG5281 and gentlenessG4239. 1227FightG75 the goodG2570 fightG73 of 28faithG4102; 29takeG1949 holdG1949 of the eternalG166 lifeG2222 30to whichG3739 you were calledG2564, and you madeG3670 the goodG2570 31confessionG3671 in the presenceG1799 of 32manyG4183 witnessesG3144. 1333I chargeG3853 you in the presenceG1799 of GodG2316, who 34givesG2225 lifeG2225 to allG3956 thingsG3956, and of 35ChristG5547 JesusG2424, who testifiedG3140 the 36goodG2570 confessionG3671 37beforeG1909 PontiusG4194 PilateG4091, 14that you keepG5083 the commandmentG1785 withoutG784G423 stainG784 or reproachG423 untilG3360 the 38appearingG2015 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 15whichG3739 He will 39bringG1166 about at 40the properG2398 timeG2540--He who is 41the blessedG3107 and 42onlyG3441 SovereignG1413, 43the KingG935 of 44kingsG936 and 45LordG2962 of 46lordsG2961, 1647who aloneG3441 possessesG2192 immortalityG110 and 48dwellsG3611 in unapproachableG676 lightG5457, 49whomG3739 noG3762 manG444 has seenG3708 orG3761 canG1410 seeG3708. 50To Him be honorG5092 and eternalG166 dominionG2904! AmenG281.

17InstructG3853 thoseG3588 who are richG4145 in 51thisG3588 presentG3568 worldG165 52not to be conceitedG5309 orG3366 to 53fixG1679 their hopeG1679 on the uncertaintyG83 of richesG4149, but on GodG2316, 54who richlyG4146 suppliesG3930 us with allG3956 thingsG3956 to enjoyG619. 18Instruct them to doG14 goodG14, to be richG4147 in 55goodG2570 56worksG2041, 57to be generousG2130 and readyG2843 to shareG2843, 1958storingG597 up for themselvesG1438 the treasureG597 of a goodG2570 foundationG2310 for the futureG3195, soG2443 that they may 59takeG1949 holdG1949 of that which is lifeG2222 indeedG3689.
