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.
ⲁ̅ⲛⲉⲧϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲁⲡⲛⲁϩⲃⲉϥ. ⲛ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲉⲛⲉⲩϫⲓⲥⲟⲟⲩⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲉⲓⲟ ⲛⲓⲙ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩϫⲓⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲡⲣⲁⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲙⲛⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ.
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.
ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲟⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲩϩⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲣ̅ⲧⲣⲉⲩⲕⲁⲧⲁⲫⲣⲟⲛⲓ ϫⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛⲉ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲟⲩⲣ̅ϩⲙ̅ϩⲁⲗ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲩⲟ ϫⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲉⲣⲓⲧ ⲛⲉⲧϭⲟⲗϫ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡϩⲱⲃ ⲉⲧⲛⲁⲛⲟⲩϥ. ϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲅ̅ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ.
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,
ⲅ̅ⲡⲉⲧϯ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲕⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲛϥ̅ϯ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲓ̈ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲟϫ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲩⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ.
4 he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions,

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.

6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
ⲋ̅ⲟⲩⲛⲟϭ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲩ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲣⲱϣⲉ·
7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out.
ⲍ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ. ⲛ̅ⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁϣϫⲓⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
8 But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.

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.

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.

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

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)

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

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

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)
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲓ̈ⲁⲓⲱⲛ ⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲅⲉⲓⲗⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ⲕⲁϩⲧⲏⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ⲧⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥ̅ⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ⲁⲛ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ. ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧϯ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲕⲁ ⲛⲓⲙ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ⲉⲩⲁⲡⲟⲗⲁⲩⲥⲓⲥ. (aiōn g165)
18 that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to share;

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