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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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,

4 he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions,

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,

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.

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

6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

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

7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out.

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

8 But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.

Therefore sufficient to us are food and raiment.

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.

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.

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.

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.

11 But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.

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.

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)

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)

13 I command you before God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,

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

14 that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

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

15 which at the right time he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords.

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

16 He alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen nor can see, to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen. (aiōnios g166)

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)

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)

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)

18 that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to share;

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

19 laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life.

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

20 Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of what is falsely called knowledge,

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

21 which some profess, and thus have wandered from the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.

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