1 Timothy, Chapter 6

¹ All who are under the yoke as slaves are to regard their own masters as worthy of all honor so that the name of God and our doctrine will not be^a Or blasphemedspoken against. ² Those who have believers as their masters must not be disrespectful to them because they are brethren, but must serve them all the more, because those who^b Or devote themselves to kindnesspartake of the benefit are believers and beloved. Teach and^c Lit exhort, urgepreach these principles.	1 Eph 6:5 Tit 2:9 Pe1 2:18 Tit 2:5 2 Act 1:15 Gal 3:28 Pmn 1:16 Ti1 4:11
³ If anyone advocates a different doctrine and does not^d Lit come to; or come withagree with sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine conforming to godliness, ⁴ he is conceited and understands nothing; but he^e Lit is sick abouthas a morbid interest in controversial questions and disputes about words, out of which arise envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions, ⁵ and constant friction between men of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who suppose that^f Or religiongodliness is a means of gain. ⁶ But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment. ⁷ For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either. ⁸ If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content. ⁹ But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. ¹⁰ For the love of money is a root of all^g Lit the evilssorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.	3 Ti1 1:3 Ti1 1:10 Tit 1:1 4 Ti1 3:6 Ti1 1:4 Act 18:15 Ti2 2:14 5 Ti2 3:8 Tit 1:15 Tit 1:11 Pe2 2:3 6 Luk 12:15-21 Ti1 6:6-10 Ti1 4:8 Php 4:11 Heb 13:5 7 Job 1:21 Ecc 5:15 8 Pro 30:8 9 Pro 15:27 Pro 23:4 Pro 28:20 Luk 12:21 Ti1 6:17 Ti1 3:7 10 Col 3:5 Ti1 3:3 Ti1 6:9 Jam 5:19
¹¹ But flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love,^h Or steadfastnessperseverance and gentleness. ¹² Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. ¹³ I charge you in the presence of God, whoⁱ Or preserves alivegives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate, ¹⁴ that you keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, ¹⁵ which He will^j Lit showbring about at the proper time—He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of^k Lit those who reign as kingskings and Lord of^l Lit those who rule as lordslords, ¹⁶ who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.	11 Ti2 2:22 Ti2 3:17 Ti1 1:14 Ti2 3:10 12 Co1 9:25 Php 1:30 Ti1 1:18 Ti1 1:19 Php 3:12 Ti1 6:19 Col 3:15 Co2 9:13 Ti1 6:13 Ti1 4:14 Ti2 2:2 13 Ti1 5:21 Gal 3:26 Ti1 1:12 Ti1 1:15 Ti1 2:5 Co2 9:13 Ti1 6:12 Mat 27:2 Joh 18:37 14 Th2 2:8 15 Ti1 2:6 Ti1 1:11 Ti1 1:17 Deu 10:17 Rev 17:14 Rev 19:16 Psa 136:3 16 Ti1 1:17 Psa 104:2 Jam 1:17 Jo1 1:5 Joh 1:18 Ti1 1:17
¹⁷ Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy. ¹⁸ Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good^m Or deedsworks, to be generous and ready to share, ¹⁹ storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed.	17 Mat 12:32 Ti2 4:10 Tit 2:12 Psa 62:10 Luk 12:20 Rom 11:20 Ti1 6:9 Ti1 4:10 Act 14:17 18 Ti1 5:10 Rom 12:8 Eph 4:28 19 Mat 6:20 Ti1 6:12
²⁰ O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, avoiding worldly and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called “knowledge”— ²¹ which some have professed and thus gone astrayⁿ Lit concerningfrom the faith. Grace be with you.	20 Ti1 1:2 Ti2 1:12 Ti2 1:14 Ti1 1:9 Ti2 2:16 21 Ti2 2:18 Ti1 1:19 Col 4:18
