1 Timothy 6
1 Let as many as are bondservants under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine not be blasphemed.
Quicumque sunt sub iugo servi, dominos suos omni honore dignos arbitrentur, ne nomen Domini et doctrina blasphemetur.
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.
Qui autem fideles habent dominos, non contemnant, quia fratres sunt: sed magis serviant, quia fideles sunt et dilecti, qui beneficii participes sunt. Haec doce, et exhortare.
3 If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,
Si quis aliter docet, et non acquiescit sanis sermonibus Domini nostri Iesu Christi, et ei, quae secundum pietatem est, doctrinae:
4 he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions,
superbus est, nihil sciens, sed languens circa quaestiones, et pugnas verborum: ex quibus oriuntur invidiae, contentiones, blasphemiae, suspiciones malae,
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.
conflictationes hominum mente corruptorum, et qui veritate privati sunt, existimantium quaestum esse pietatem.
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
Est autem quaestus magnus pietas cum sufficientia.
7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly cannot carry anything out.
Nihil enim intulimus in hunc mundum: haud dubium quod nec auferre quid possumus.
8 But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.
Habentes autem alimenta, et quibus tegamur, his contenti simus.
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.
Nam qui volunt divites fieri, incidunt in tentationem, et in laqueum diaboli, et desideria multa inutilia, et nociva, quae mergunt homines in interitum et perditionem.
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.
Radix enim omnium malorum est cupiditas: quam quidam appetentes erraverunt a fide, et inseruerunt se doloribus multis.
11 But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.
Tu autem, o homo Dei haec fuge: sectare vero iustitiam, pietatem, fidem, charitatem, patientiam, mansuetudinem.
12 Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the consummate (aiōnios g166) life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.
Certa bonum certamen fidei, apprehende vitam aeternam, in qua vocatus es, et confessus bonam confessionem coram multis testibus. (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,
Praecipio tibi coram Deo, qui vivificat omnia, et Christo Iesu, qui testimonium reddidit sub Pontio Pilato, bonam confessionem:
14 that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
ut serves mandatum sine macula, irreprehensibile usque in adventum Domini nostri Iesu Christi,
15 which at the right time he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords.
quem suis temporibus ostendet beatus et solus potens, Rex regum, et Dominus dominantium:
16 He alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen nor can see, to whom be honor and consummate (aiōnios g166) power. Amen.
qui solus habet immortalitatem, et lucem inhabitat inaccessibilem: quem nullus hominum vidit, sed nec videre potest: cui honor, et imperium sempiternum: Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Charge those who are rich in this present age (aiōn g165) 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;
Divitibus huius saeculi praecipe non sublime sapere, neque sperare in incerto divitiarum, sed in Deo vivo (qui praestat nobis omnia abunde ad fruendum) (aiōn g165)
18 that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to share;
bene agere, divites fieri in bonis operibus, facile tribuere, communicare,
19 laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of the true life.
thesaurizare sibi fundamentum bonum in futurum, ut apprehendant veram vitam.
20 Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of what is falsely called knowledge,
O Timothee, depositum custodi, devitans profanas vocum novitates, et oppositiones falsi nominis scientiae,
21 which some profess, and thus have wandered from the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.
quam quidam promittentes, circa fidem exciderunt. Gratia tecum. Amen.
