| 1 Tim. 6:1 |
As many as are slaves under the yoke should regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, lest the name of God and our teaching be blasphemed. |
| 1 Tim. 6:2 |
And those who have believing masters should not despise [them,] because they are brothers; but rather they should serve [them,] because those who recompense [them] for the kindly service [received] are believers and beloved. These things teach and exhort. |
| 1 Tim. 6:3 |
If anyone teaches different things and does not consent to healthy words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the teaching which is according to godliness, |
| 1 Tim. 6:4 |
He is blinded with pride, understanding nothing, but is diseased with questionings and contentions of words, out of which come envy, strife, slanders, evil suspicions, |
| 1 Tim. 6:5 |
Perpetual wranglings of men corrupted in mind and deprived of the truth, supposing godliness to be a [means of] gain. |
| 1 Tim. 6:6 |
But godliness with contentment is great gain; |
| 1 Tim. 6:7 |
For we have brought nothing into the world, because neither can we carry anything out. |
| 1 Tim. 6:8 |
But having food and covering, with these we will be content. |
| 1 Tim. 6:9 |
But those who intend to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge men into destruction and ruin. |
| 1 Tim. 6:10 |
For the love of money is a root of all evils, [because of] which some, aspiring after [money,] have been led away from the faith and pierced themselves through with many pains. |
| 1 Tim. 6:11 |
But you, O man of God, flee these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, meekness. |
| 1 Tim. 6:12 |
Fight the good fight of the faith; lay hold on the eternal life, to which you were called and have confessed the good confession before many witnesses. |
| 1 Tim. 6:13 |
I charge you before God, who preserves all things in life, and Christ Jesus, who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate, |
| 1 Tim. 6:14 |
To keep the commandment spotless, without reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, |
| 1 Tim. 6:15 |
Which in its own times the blessed and only Sovereign will show, the King of those who reign as kings and Lord of those who rule as lords, |
| 1 Tim. 6:16 |
Who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen nor can see, to whom be honor and eternal might. Amen. |
| 1 Tim. 6:17 |
Charge those who are rich in the present age not to be high-minded, nor to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches but on God, who affords us all things richly for [our] enjoyment; |
| 1 Tim. 6:18 |
To do good, to be rich in good works, to be ready to distribute, to be ones willing to share; |
| 1 Tim. 6:19 |
Laying away for themselves a good foundation as a treasure for the future, that they may lay hold on that which is really life. |
| 1 Tim. 6:20 |
O Timothy, guard the deposit, turning away from profane, vain babblings and oppositions from what is falsely called knowledge, |
| 1 Tim. 6:21 |
[Because of] which some, professing [this,] have misaimed regarding the faith. Grace be with you. |
