1 Timothy 6
1 All who are under the yoke of slavery should regard their masters as fully worthy of honor, so that God’s name and our teaching will not be discredited.
οσοι εισιν υπο ζυγον δουλοι τουσ ιδιουσ δεσποτασ πασησ τιμησ αξιουσ ηγεισθωσαν ινα μη το ονομα του θεου και η διδασκαλια βλασφημηται
2 Those who have believing masters should not show disrespect because they are brothers, but should serve them all the more, since those receiving their good service are beloved believers. Teach and encourage these principles.
οι δε πιστουσ εχοντεσ δεσποτασ μη καταφρονειτωσαν οτι αδελφοι εισιν αλλα μαλλον δουλευετωσαν οτι πιστοι εισιν και αγαπητοι οι τησ ευεργεσιασ αντιλαμβανομενοι ταυτα διδασκε και παρακαλει
3 If anyone teaches another doctrine and disagrees with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and with godly teaching,
ει τισ ετεροδιδασκαλει και μη προσερχεται υγιαινουσιν λογοισ τοισ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου και τη κατ ευσεβειαν διδασκαλια
4 he is conceited and understands nothing. Instead, he has an unhealthy interest in controversies and semantics, out of which come envy, strife, abusive talk, evil suspicions,
τετυφωται μηδεν επισταμενοσ αλλα νοσων περι ζητησεισ και λογομαχιασ εξ ων γινεται φθονοσ ερισ βλασφημιαι υπονοιαι πονηραι
5 and constant friction between men of depraved mind who are devoid of the truth. These men regard godliness as a means of gain.
διαπαρατριβαι διεφθαρμενων ανθρωπων τον νουν και απεστερημενων τησ αληθειασ νομιζοντων πορισμον ειναι την ευσεβειαν αφιστασο απο των τοιουτων
6 Of course, godliness with contentment is great gain.
εστιν δε πορισμοσ μεγασ η ευσεβεια μετα αυταρκειασ
7 For we brought nothing into the world, so we cannot carry anything out of it.
ουδεν γαρ εισηνεγκαμεν εισ τον κοσμον δηλον οτι ουδε εξενεγκειν τι δυναμεθα
8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.
εχοντεσ δε διατροφασ και σκεπασματα τουτοισ αρκεσθησομεθα
9 Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction.
οι δε βουλομενοι πλουτειν εμπιπτουσιν εισ πειρασμον και παγιδα και επιθυμιασ πολλασ ανοητουσ και βλαβερασ αιτινεσ βυθιζουσιν τουσ ανθρωπουσ εισ ολεθρον και απωλειαν
10 For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.
ριζα γαρ παντων των κακων εστιν η φιλαργυρια ησ τινεσ ορεγομενοι απεπλανηθησαν απο τησ πιστεωσ και εαυτουσ περιεπειραν οδυναισ πολλαισ
11 But you, O man of God, flee from these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.
συ δε ω ανθρωπε του θεου ταυτα φευγε διωκε δε δικαιοσυνην ευσεβειαν πιστιν αγαπην υπομονην πραοτητα
12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made the good confession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
αγωνιζου τον καλον αγωνα τησ πιστεωσ επιλαβου τησ αιωνιου ζωησ εισ ην εκληθησ και ωμολογησασ την καλην ομολογιαν ενωπιον πολλων μαρτυρων (aiōnios g166)
13 I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who made the good confession in His testimony before Pontius Pilate:
παραγγελλω σοι ενωπιον του θεου του ζωοποιουντοσ τα παντα και χριστου ιησου του μαρτυρησαντοσ επι ποντιου πιλατου την καλην ομολογιαν
14 Keep this commandment without stain or reproach until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ,
τηρησαι σε την εντολην ασπιλον ανεπιληπτον μεχρι τησ επιφανειασ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
15 which the blessed and only Sovereign One—the King of kings and Lord of lords—will bring about in His own time.
ην καιροισ ιδιοισ δειξει ο μακαριοσ και μονοσ δυναστησ ο βασιλευσ των βασιλευοντων και κυριοσ των κυριευοντων
16 He alone is immortal and dwells in unapproachable light. No one has ever seen Him, nor can anyone see Him. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen. (aiōnios g166)
ο μονοσ εχων αθανασιαν φωσ οικων απροσιτον ον ειδεν ουδεισ ανθρωπων ουδε ιδειν δυναται ω τιμη και κρατοσ αιωνιον αμην (aiōnios g166)
17 Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be conceited and not to put their hope in the uncertainty of wealth, but in God, who richly provides all things for us to enjoy. (aiōn g165)
τοισ πλουσιοισ εν τω νυν αιωνι παραγγελλε μη υψηλοφρονειν μηδε ηλπικεναι επι πλουτου αδηλοτητι αλλ εν τω θεω τω ζωντι τω παρεχοντι ημιν παντα πλουσιωσ εισ απολαυσιν (aiōn g165)
18 Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, and to be generous and ready to share,
αγαθοεργειν πλουτειν εν εργοισ καλοισ ευμεταδοτουσ ειναι κοινωνικουσ
19 treasuring up for themselves a firm foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.
αποθησαυριζοντασ εαυτοισ θεμελιον καλον εισ το μελλον ινα επιλαβωνται τησ αιωνιου ζωησ
20 O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid irreverent, empty chatter and the opposing arguments of so-called “knowledge,”
ω τιμοθεε την παραθηκην φυλαξον εκτρεπομενοσ τασ βεβηλουσ κενοφωνιασ και αντιθεσεισ τησ ψευδωνυμου γνωσεωσ
21 which some have professed and thus swerved away from the faith. Grace be with you all.
ην τινεσ επαγγελλομενοι περι την πιστιν ηστοχησαν η χαρισ μετα σου αμην
