< 1 Timothy 6 >

1 Let as many as are bondservants under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and the doctrine not be blasphemed.
οσοι εισιν υπο ζυγον δουλοι τουσ ιδιουσ δεσποτασ πασησ τιμησ αξιουσ ηγεισθωσαν ινα μη το ονομα του θεου και η διδασκαλια βλασφημηται
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.
οι δε πιστουσ εχοντεσ δεσποτασ μη καταφρονειτωσαν οτι αδελφοι εισιν αλλα μαλλον δουλευετωσαν οτι πιστοι εισιν και αγαπητοι οι τησ ευεργεσιασ αντιλαμβανομενοι ταυτα διδασκε και παρακαλει
3 If anyone teaches a different doctrine and doesn’t consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,
ει τισ ετεροδιδασκαλει και μη προσερχεται υγιαινουσιν λογοισ τοισ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου και τη κατ ευσεβειαν διδασκαλια
4 he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions,
τετυφωται μηδεν επισταμενοσ αλλα νοσων περι ζητησεισ και λογομαχιασ εξ ων γινεται φθονοσ ερισ βλασφημιαι υπονοιαι πονηραι
5 constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. Withdraw yourself from such.
διαπαρατριβαι διεφθαρμενων ανθρωπων τον νουν και απεστερημενων τησ αληθειασ νομιζοντων πορισμον ειναι την ευσεβειαν αφιστασο απο των τοιουτων
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
εστιν δε πορισμοσ μεγασ η ευσεβεια μετα αυταρκειασ
7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out.
ουδεν γαρ εισηνεγκαμεν εισ τον κοσμον δηλον οτι ουδε εξενεγκειν τι δυναμεθα
8 But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.
εχοντεσ δε διατροφασ και σκεπασματα τουτοισ αρκεσθησομεθα
9 But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation, a snare, and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction.
οι δε βουλομενοι πλουτειν εμπιπτουσιν εισ πειρασμον και παγιδα και επιθυμιασ πολλασ ανοητουσ και βλαβερασ αιτινεσ βυθιζουσιν τουσ ανθρωπουσ εισ ολεθρον και απωλειαν
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.
ριζα γαρ παντων των κακων εστιν η φιλαργυρια ησ τινεσ ορεγομενοι απεπλανηθησαν απο τησ πιστεωσ και εαυτουσ περιεπειραν οδυναισ πολλαισ
11 But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.
συ δε ω ανθρωπε του θεου ταυτα φευγε διωκε δε δικαιοσυνην ευσεβειαν πιστιν αγαπην υπομονην πραοτητα
12 Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
αγωνιζου τον καλον αγωνα τησ πιστεωσ επιλαβου τησ αιωνιου ζωησ εισ ην εκληθησ και ωμολογησασ την καλην ομολογιαν ενωπιον πολλων μαρτυρων (aiōnios g166)
13 I command you before God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,
παραγγελλω σοι ενωπιον του θεου του ζωοποιουντοσ τα παντα και χριστου ιησου του μαρτυρησαντοσ επι ποντιου πιλατου την καλην ομολογιαν
14 that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
τηρησαι σε την εντολην ασπιλον ανεπιληπτον μεχρι τησ επιφανειασ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
15 which at the right time he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords.
ην καιροισ ιδιοισ δειξει ο μακαριοσ και μονοσ δυναστησ ο βασιλευσ των βασιλευοντων και κυριοσ των κυριευοντων
16 He alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen nor can see, to whom be honour and eternal power. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
ο μονοσ εχων αθανασιαν φωσ οικων απροσιτον ον ειδεν ουδεισ ανθρωπων ουδε ιδειν δυναται ω τιμη και κρατοσ αιωνιον αμην (aiōnios g166)
17 Charge those who are rich in this present age that they not be arrogant, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy; (aiōn g165)
τοισ πλουσιοισ εν τω νυν αιωνι παραγγελλε μη υψηλοφρονειν μηδε ηλπικεναι επι πλουτου αδηλοτητι αλλ εν τω θεω τω ζωντι τω παρεχοντι ημιν παντα πλουσιωσ εισ απολαυσιν (aiōn g165)
18 that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to share;
αγαθοεργειν πλουτειν εν εργοισ καλοισ ευμεταδοτουσ ειναι κοινωνικουσ
19 laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life.
αποθησαυριζοντασ εαυτοισ θεμελιον καλον εισ το μελλον ινα επιλαβωνται τησ αιωνιου ζωησ
20 Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of what is falsely called knowledge,
ω τιμοθεε την παραθηκην φυλαξον εκτρεπομενοσ τασ βεβηλουσ κενοφωνιασ και αντιθεσεισ τησ ψευδωνυμου γνωσεωσ
21 which some profess, and thus have wandered from the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.
ην τινεσ επαγγελλομενοι περι την πιστιν ηστοχησαν η χαρισ μετα σου αμην
