< 1 Timothy 6 >

1 Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
As many as are under a yoke [as] slaves, [their] own masters of all honor worthy they should esteem, so that not the name of God and the teaching may be denigrated.
2 And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brothers; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
Those now believing having masters not they should despise [them] because brothers they are; but rather they should serve [them], because believing [ones] they are and beloved by the good service being helped. These things do teach and do exhort.
3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
If anyone teaches another doctrine and not he draws near to sound words of the Lord of us Jesus Christ and the according to godliness teaching,
4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof comes envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
he has been puffed up nothing knowing but unhealthy about controversies and disputes about words, out of which come envy, strife, slander, suspicions evil,
5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw yourself.
[and] constant frictions corrupted among men in mind and defrauded of the truth, holding a means of gain to be godliness (do depart from [one of] such. *K)
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
Is however gain great godliness with contentment.
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
No [thing] for we brought into the world, (evident *K) because neither to carry out anything are we able;
8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
Having however sustenance and coverings, with these we will be content.
9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
Those however desiring to be rich they fall into temptation and a snare and desires many foolish and harmful, which plunge men into ruin and destruction.
10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
A root for of all kinds of evils is the love of money, which some stretching after were seduced away from the faith and themselves pierced with sorrows many.
11 But you, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
You yourself however, O man of God, these things do flee, do pursue now righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, ([and] gentleness; *N+KO)
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you are also called, and have professed a good profession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
do fight the good fight of the faith, do lay hold of the eternal life to which (also *k) you were called and did confess the good confession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
13 I give you charge in the sight of God, who vivifies all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
I charge you before God who (is giving life *N+kO) to all things and Christ Jesus the [One who] having testified before Pontius Pilate the good confession
14 That you keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
to keep you the commandment without stain, above reproach until the appearing of the Lord of us Jesus Christ,
15 Which in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
which in seasons [their] own He will display the blessed and alone Sovereign, the King of those being kings and [the] Lord of those being lords,
16 Who only has immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach to; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen. (aiōnios g166)
alone having immortality, in light dwelling unapproachable, whom has seen no [one] of men nor to see is able, to whom [be] honor and dominion eternal, Amen. (aiōnios g166)
17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy; (aiōn g165)
To the rich in the present age do instruct [them] not to be high-minded nor to have hope in of riches [the] uncertainty but (on *N+kO) God (who is living *K) who is providing us all things richly for enjoyment, (aiōn g165)
18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
to do good, to be rich in works good, generous in distributing to be, ready to share,
19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
treasuring up for themselves a foundation good for the future, so that they may take hold of that which ([is] truly *N+KO) life.
20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to your trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
O Timothy, the (deposit committed [to you] *N+kO) do guard avoiding the profane empty babblings and opposing arguments falsely called knowledge,
21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.
which some professing from the faith went astray. Grace [be] with (you [all] *N+kO) (Amen. *KO) (to Timothy first it was written from Laodicea which is capital of Phrygia of Pacatiana. *K)
