1 Timothy 6

1 Let those who are under the yoke of servitude hold their masters in all honour, that the name of Aloha and his doctrine be not blasphemed.

Let the servants so many as are under the yoke, esteem those who are their masters worthy of all honor, in order that the name and doctrine of God may not be blasphemed.

2 But let not those who have believing masters slight them, because they are their brethren; but serve them the more, because they are believers, and beloved who are refreshed by their ministry. These things teach and require of them.

But let those that have faithful masters not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather let them serve them, because they are the faithful and beloved who are partaking of the benefaction. Command these things and exhort them.

3 But if there be a man who teacheth other doctrine, and who accedeth not to the healthful words of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, and to the doctrine of the fear of Aloha,

If any one teaches another doctrine, and does not give heed to the sound words which belonged to our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

4 this (is one) who extolleth himself while knowing nothing, but is infirm with disputation and questioning of words, from which are envy, and contention, and evil speaking, and supposition in the evil mind,

he has been inflated, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and controversies, from which come envy, strife, blasphemies, evil surmisings,

5 and conflicts of men whose minds are corrupt and deprived of the truth, and who consider that gain is the fear of Aloha.

wranglings of men having been corrupted as to their mind and turned away from the truth, considering that gain is godliness.

6 But thou, remove thyself from them. For our gain is great which is the fear of Aloha, with the use of our sufficiency.

Godliness with contentment is great gain,

7 For nothing brought we into the world, and we know that nothing we are able to take from it.

for because we have brought nothing into the world, we are not able to carry any thing out;

8 Therefore sufficient to us are food and raiment.

however having food and raiment we shall be contented with these.

9 But they who will be rich fall into temptations and snares, and many lusts which befool and injure, and which plunge men into destruction and perdition.

But those wishing to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown the people in destruction and perdition.

10 For the root of all evil is the love of money; and there are who have coveted it, and from the faith have erred, and have made themselves enter into many sorrows.

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

11 But thou, O man of God, from these things flee, and follow after righteousness, and after equity, and after faith, and after charity, and after patience, and after meekness.

But you, O man of God, fly from these things; and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, divine love, patience, meekness.

12 And contend in the good agony of faith, and lay hold of the life which is eternal, unto which thou art called, and hast confessed a good confession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, into which you have been called, and witnessed a beautiful testimony before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)

13 I ATTEST thee before Aloha, who vivifieth all, and Jeshu Meshiha, who witnessed before Pontius Pilatos the good testimony,

I charge you before God, who creates life in all things, and Jesus Christ, who witnessed a beautiful testimony before Pontius Pilate,

14 that thou keep (this) commandment without spot and without blemish, until the manifestation of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha,

that you keep the commandment, spotless and pure, unto the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

15 whom in his time will show Aloha the blessed and only Strong One, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

which the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of the kings, and Lord of the lords, will manifest in his own due times;

16 he who only is incorruptible, and (who) dwelleth in light which no man can approach; whom no man of men hath seen, nor is able to see: to him be honour and power for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōnios g166)

he alone having immortality, inhabiting light unapproachable; whom no one of men has seen, or is able to see: to whom be honor and power eternal. Amen. (aiōnios g166)

17 The rich of this world instruct, that they be not uplifted in their minds, nor be trustful upon riches which have no security, but upon Aloha the living, who giveth to us all abundantly for our comfort; (aiōn g165)

Charge the rich in this world not to think high things, nor to hope in uncertain riches, but in God, who richly supplies us all things for our enjoyment; (aiōn g165)

18 and that they perform good works, and become rich in welldoings, and be ready to give and to communicate,

that they do good, be rich in good works, be cheerful givers, ready communicators;

19 and lay for themselves a good foundation for that which is to be, that they may lay hold on the true life.

laying up for themselves a good foundation for the future, that they may lay hold on the life which is life indeed.

20 O Timothy, watch over that which is confided to thee, and fly from vain words, and the turnings of false knowledge.

O Timothy, stand guard over that which has been committed to you, avoiding unsanctified, empty talks and oppositions of knowledge falsely so called,

21 For they who pursue it err from the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.

which some proclaiming have made shipwreck concerning the faith. Grace be with you.
