1 Timothy 6

1 Let as many as are slaves under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine not be blasphemed.

Let bondmen, as many as are under a yoke, regard their own masters worthy of all respect, so that the name of God and the doctrine may not be blasphemed.

2 Those who have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brothers, but rather let them serve them, because those who partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.

And those who have believing masters, let them not disparage them because they are brothers, instead let them serve more because they are believers and beloved-those who are recipients of the benefit. Teach and exhort these things.

3 If anyone teaches a different doctrine, and does not consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,

If any man teaches something different, and does not associate with wholesome words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine according to piety,

4 he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions,

he is puffed up, understanding nothing, but doting about disputes and word controversies, from which develop envy, strife, revilings, evil surmisings,

5 constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.

constant frictions of men corrupted in mind, and destitute of the truth, supposing piety to be a means of gain. Withdraw from such.

6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

But piety with contentment is great gain,

7 For we brought nothing into the world, so neither can we carry anything out.

for we brought nothing into the world. It is clear that neither can we carry anything out,

8 But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.

but having food and covering we will be content with these.

9 But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as plunge people into ruin and destruction.

But those who want to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, which sink men in destruction and ruin.

10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

For the love of money is a root of all the evils, of which some aspiring have wandered from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

11 But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.

But thou, O man of God, flee these things, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, patience, meekness.

12 Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold of the everlasting life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)

Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life for which thou are called, and confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)

13 I command you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Meshikha Yeshua, who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,

I command thee in the sight of God, who makes all live, and of Christ Jesus, who testified to Pontius Pilate the good confession,

14 that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless, until the appearing of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha;

that thou keep the commandment, without spot, blameless, until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15 which in its own times he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

which he will show in his own times, the blessed and only Potentate, the King of those who are kings, and Lord of those who are lords,

16 who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light; whom no human has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen. (aiōnios g166)

who alone has immortality, dwelling in irreproachable light, whom no man has seen, nor can see, to whom is honor and eternal dominion. Truly. (aiōnios g166)

17 Charge those who are rich in this present world that they not be haughty, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy; (aiōn g165)

Command the rich in the present age not to be arrogant, nor hope in the uncertainty of wealth, but in the living God, who supplies us all things abundantly for enjoyment, (aiōn g165)

18 that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate;

to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous, willing to share,

19 laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of that which is truly life.

storing up for themselves a good foundation for that which is coming, so that they may take hold of the eternal life.

20 Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called;

O Timothy, keep the entrustment, avoiding the profane babblings and objections of the falsely-called knowledge,

21 which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you.

which some men professing have missed the mark concerning the faith. Grace is with thee. Truly.
