1 Timothy 6

1 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.

Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine may not be blasphemed.

2 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.

And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.

3 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,

If any man teacheth otherwise, and agreeth not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the doctrine which is according to godliness;

4 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,

He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, from which cometh envy, strife, railings, evil suspicions,

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

Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

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

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

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

For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

8 Therefore sufficient to us are food and raiment.

And having food and raiment with these let us be content.

9 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.

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.

10 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.

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some have coveted, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

11 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.

But thou, O man of God, flee from these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

12 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)

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)

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

I command thee in the sight of God, who maketh alive all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;

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

That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

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

Who in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

16 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)

Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. (aiōnios g166)

17 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)

Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; (aiōn g165)

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

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

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

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

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

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

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

Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. The first to Timothy was written from Laodicea, which is the chiefest city of Phrygia Pacatiana.
