1 Timothy 6

1LetG2233 as manyG3745 servantsG1401 asG3745 areG1510 underG5259 the yokeG2218 countG2233 their ownG2398 mastersG1203 worthyG514 of allG3956 honourG5092, thatG2443 the nameG3588G3686 of GodG3588G2316 andG2532 his doctrineG3588G1319 beG987 notG3361 blasphemedG987. 2AndG1161 they that haveG2192 believingG4103 mastersG1203, let themG2706 notG3361 despiseG2706 them, becauseG3754 they areG1510 brethrenG80; butG235 ratherG3123 doG1398 them serviceG1398, becauseG3754 they areG1510 faithfulG4103 andG2532 belovedG27, partakersG482 of the benefitG3588G2108. These thingsG3778 teachG1321 andG2532 exhortG3870. 3

IfG1487 any manG5100 teach otherwiseG2085, andG2532 consentG4334 notG3361 to wholesomeG5198 wordsG3056, even theG3588 words of ourG1473 LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 to the doctrineG1319 which is according toG2596 godlinessG2150; 4He is proudG5187, knowingG1987 nothingG3367, butG235 dotingG3552 aboutG4012 questionsG2214 andG2532 strifes of wordsG3055, whereofG1537G3739 comethG1096 envyG5355, strifeG2054, railingsG988, evilG4190 surmisingsG5283, 5Perverse disputingsG3859 of menG444 of corruptG1311 mindsG3588G3563, andG2532 destituteG650 of the truthG3588G225, supposing thatG3543 gainG4200 isG1510 godlinessG3588G2150: fromG575 suchG5108 withdraw thyselfG868.

6ButG1161 godlinessG3588G2150 withG3326 contentmentG841 isG1510 greatG3173 gainG4200. 7ForG1063 we broughtG1533 nothingG3762 intoG1519 this worldG3588G2889, and it is certainG1212 we canG1410 carryG1627 nothingG3761G5100 outG1627. 8AndG1161 havingG2192 foodG1305 andG2532 raimentG4629 let us beG714 therewithG3778 contentG714. 9

ButG1161 they that willG1014 be richG4147 fallG1706 intoG1519 temptationG3986 andG2532 a snareG3803, andG2532 into manyG4183 foolishG453 andG2532 hurtfulG983 lustsG1939, whichG3748 drownG1036 menG3588G444 inG1519 destructionG3639 andG2532 perditionG684. 10ForG1063 the love of moneyG3588G5365 isG1510 the rootG4491 of allG3956 evilG2556: whichG3739 whileG3713 someG5100 coveted afterG3713, they have erredG635 fromG575 the faithG3588G4102, andG2532 piercedG4044 themselvesG1438 throughG4044 with manyG4183 sorrowsG3601.

11ButG1161 thouG4771, OG5599 manG444 of GodG3588G2316, fleeG5343 these thingsG3778; andG1161 follow afterG1377 righteousnessG1343, godlinessG2150, faithG4102, loveG26, patienceG5281, meeknessG4240. 12FightG75 the goodG3588G2570 fightG73 of faithG3588G4102, lay hold onG1949 eternalG3588G166 lifeG2222, whereuntoG1519G3739 thou artG2564 alsoG2532 calledG2564, andG2532 hast professedG3670 a goodG3588G2570 professionG3671 beforeG1799 manyG4183 witnessesG3144. 13I giveG3853 theeG4771 chargeG3853 in the sight ofG1799 GodG3588G2316, who quickenethG3588G2227 all thingsG3588G3956, andG2532 before ChristG5547 JesusG2424, whoG3588G3140 beforeG1909 PontiusG4194 PilateG4091 witnessedG3588G3140 a goodG3588G2570 confessionG3671; 14ThatG5083 thouG4771 keepG5083 this commandmentG3588G1785 without spotG784, unrebukeableG423, untilG3360 the appearingG3588G2015 of ourG1473 LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: 15WhichG3739 in hisG2398 timesG2540 he shall shewG1166, who is the blessedG3107 andG2532 onlyG3441 PotentateG1413, the KingG3588G935 of kingsG936, andG2532 LordG2962 of lordsG2961; 16WhoG2192 onlyG3441 hathG2192 immortalityG110, dwelling inG3611 the lightG5457 which no man can approach untoG676; whomG3739 noG3762 manG444 hath seenG3708, norG3761 canG1410 seeG3708: to whomG3739 be honourG5092 andG2532 powerG2904 everlastingG166. AmenG281.

17ChargeG3853 them that are richG3588G4145 inG1722 thisG3568 worldG3588G165, that they beG5309 notG3361 highmindedG5309, norG3366 trustG1679 inG1909 uncertainG83 richesG4149, butG235 inG1722 the livingG3588G2198 GodG3588G2316, who givethG3588G3930 usG1473 richlyG4146 all thingsG3956 toG1519 enjoy; 18That they do goodG14, that they be richG4147 inG1722 goodG2570 worksG2041, ready to distributeG2130, willing to communicateG2843; 19Laying up in storeG597 for themselvesG1438 a goodG2570 foundationG2310 againstG1519 the time to comeG3195, thatG2443 they may lay hold onG1949 eternalG166 lifeG2222. 20

OG5599 TimothyG5095, keepG5442 that which is committed to thy trustG3588G3872, avoidingG1624 profaneG952 and vain babblingsG2757, andG2532 oppositionsG477 of scienceG1108 falsely so calledG5581: 21WhichG3739 someG5100 professingG1861 have erredG795 concerningG4012 the faithG3588G4102. GraceG3588G5485 be withG3326 theeG4771. AmenG281.

The firstG4413 toG4314 TimothyG5095 was writtenG1125 fromG575 LaodiceaG2993, whichG3748 isG1510 the chiefest cityG3390 of PhrygiaG5435 PacatianaG3588G3818.
