1 Timothy 6
1 As many as are servants under a yoke, let them reckon their own masters worthy of all honor, that evil may not be spoken of the Name of God and the teaching;
Quicumque sunt sub jugo servi, dominos suos omni honore dignos arbitrentur, ne nomen Domini et doctrina blasphemetur.
2 and those having believing masters, do not let them slight [them], because they are brothers, but rather let them serve, because they are steadfast and beloved, who are partaking of the benefit. Be teaching and exhorting these things;
Qui autem fideles habent dominos, non contemnant, quia fratres sunt: sed magis serviant, quia fideles sunt et dilecti, qui beneficii participes sunt. Hæc doce, et exhortare.
3 if anyone be teaching otherwise, and does not consent to sound words—those of our Lord Jesus Christ—and to the teaching according to piety,
Si quis aliter docet, et non acquiescit sanis sermonibus Domini nostri Jesu Christi, et ei, quæ secundum pietatem est, doctrinæ:
4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but unhealthy about questions and word-striving, out of which come envy, strife, slanders, evil-surmisings,
superbus est, nihil sciens, sed languens circa quæstiones, et pugnas verborum: ex quibus oriuntur invidiæ, contentiones, blasphemiæ, suspiciones malæ,
5 wranglings of men wholly corrupted in mind, and destitute of the truth, supposing the piety to be gain; depart from such;
conflictationes hominum mente corruptorum, et qui veritate privati sunt, existimantium quæstum esse pietatem.
6 but it is great gain—the piety with contentment;
Est autem quæstus magnus pietas cum sufficientia.
7 for we brought nothing into the world—because neither are we able to carry out anything;
Nihil enim intulimus in hunc mundum: haud dubium quod nec auferre quid possumus.
8 but having food and raiment—with these we will suffice ourselves;
Habentes autem alimenta, et quibus tegamur, his contenti simus.
9 and those intending to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and many desires, foolish and hurtful, that sink men into ruin and destruction,
Nam qui volunt divites fieri, incidunt in tentationem, et in laqueum diaboli, et desideria multa inutilia, et nociva, quæ mergunt homines in interitum et perditionem.
10 for the love of money is a root of all the evils, which certain [ones] longing for went astray from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows;
Radix enim omnium malorum est cupiditas: quam quidam appetentes erraverunt a fide, et inseruerunt se doloribus multis.
11 and you, O man of God, flee these things, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, meekness.
Tu autem, o homo Dei, hæc fuge: sectare vero justitiam, pietatem, fidem, caritatem, patientiam, mansuetudinem.
12 Be striving the good strife of the faith; be laying hold on the continuous life to which you also were called, and did profess the right profession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
Certa bonum certamen fidei, apprehende vitam æternam, in qua vocatus es, et confessus bonam confessionem coram multis testibus. (aiōnios g166)
13 I charge you, before God, who is making all things alive, and of Christ Jesus, who testified the right profession before Pontius Pilate,
Præcipio tibi coram Deo, qui vivificat omnia, et Christo Jesu, qui testimonium reddidit sub Pontio Pilato, bonam confessionem,
14 that you keep the command unspotted, unblameable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
ut serves mandatum sine macula, irreprehensibile usque in adventum Domini nostri Jesu Christi,
15 which He will show in His own times—the blessed and only sovereign, the King of the kings and Lord of the lords,
quem suis temporibus ostendet beatus et solus potens, Rex regum, et Dominus dominantium:
16 having immortality alone, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no one of men saw, nor is able to see, to whom [is] honor and perpetual might! Amen. (aiōnios g166)
qui solus habet immortalitatem, et lucem inhabitat inaccessibilem: quem nullus hominum vidit, sed nec videre potest: cui honor, et imperium sempiternum. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Charge those rich in the present age not to be high-minded, nor to hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, who is giving to us all things richly for enjoyment— (aiōn g165)
Divitibus hujus sæculi præcipe non sublime sapere, neque sperare in incerto divitiarum, sed in Deo vivo (qui præstat nobis omnia abunde ad fruendum) (aiōn g165)
18 to do good, to be rich in good works, to be ready to impart, willing to communicate,
bene agere, divites fieri in bonis operibus, facile tribuere, communicare,
19 treasuring up to themselves a right foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on [that which is] truly life.
thesaurizare sibi fundamentum bonum in futurum, ut apprehendant veram vitam.
20 O Timotheus, guard the thing entrusted, avoiding the profane vain-words and opposition of the falsely-named knowledge,
O Timothee, depositum custodi, devitans profanas vocum novitates, et oppositiones falsi nominis scientiæ,
21 which certain [ones] professing—swerved concerning the faith. The grace [is] with you! Amen.
quam quidam promittentes, circa fidem exciderunt. Gratia tecum. Amen.
