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 as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God, and his teaching, be not reviled.
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 despise them, because they are brethren: but rather let them serve them, because they who partake of the benefit of their service, are believers and beloved brethren. These things enforce in your teaching and exhortation.
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 one teaches other things, and does not assent to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the teaching which is according to godliness,
4 he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions,
he is mad with conceit, knowing nothing, but has a morbid fondness for questions and contentions about words, out of which come envy, strife, railing, evil suspicions,
5 constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.
and wranglings, on the part of men who are corrupt in mind, and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a source of gain. From such withdraw yourself.
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
But godliness, with a contented disposition, is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into the world, so neither can we carry anything out.
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain that we can carry nothing out.
8 But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.
And having food and raiment, with these let us be content.
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 will be rich fail into temptation and a snare, and many foolish and hurtful desires, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
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 the root of all evil; through the desire of which, some have erred from the faith, and 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 do you, O man of God, shun these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faithfulness, 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)

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 charge you, in the sight of God, who makes all things alive, and before Christ Jesus, who, before Pontius Pilate, confessed a good confession,
14 that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless, until the appearing of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha;
that you keep this commandment, so that you may be spotless and blameless till the appearing 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, in his own times, he will show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of 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 light unapproachable, whom no man has seen, nor can see, to whom be honor and power eternal. Amen. (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)
Charge those who are rich in this age, that they be not proud, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who gives us all things richly for our enjoyment, (aiōn g165)
18 that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, liberal,
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.
treasuring up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on 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 that which is committed to your charge, avoiding those profane and empty babblings, and disputations about knowledge falsely so called;
21 which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you.
by making a profession of this knowledge, some have erred as it respects the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.
