1 Timothy 6
1 All who are under the yoke of slavery must regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, so that no one will revile God's name or his doctrine.
ⲁ̅ⲛⲓⲉⲃⲓⲁⲓⲕ ⲉⲧⲭⲏ ϧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁϩⲃⲉϥ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲭ ⲁ ⲛⲟⲩϭⲓⲥⲉⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲁⲓⲟ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙϫⲉⲟⲩ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ.
2 Slaves who have believing masters must not despise them, for they are brothers; rather they must serve them, because those who benefit from their good service are faithful and beloved. Teach and encourage these things.

3 If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that is in accordance with godliness,

4 he is puffed up and understands nothing. Moreover, he has an unhealthy desire for controversies and quarrels about words, from which come envy, strife, slanderous words, evil suspicions,

5 and constant disagreement among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, supposing that godliness is a means of gain. Keep away from such people.

6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

9 But those who wish to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many senseless and harmful desires that sink people into ruin and destruction.

10 For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil, and in their eagerness to become rich some have wandered away from the faith, piercing themselves with many sorrows.
