Concerning slaves and money lovers
6:1-10
1 Tim. 6
:1
6:1
As many as are
aslaves under the yoke should regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, lest the
bname of God and
1our cteaching be
2blasphemed.
1 Tim. 6
:2
6:2
And those who have believing masters should not despise
them, because they are
abrothers; but rather they should
1serve them, because those who recompense
them for the kindly service
received are believers and beloved. These things
bteach and
cexhort.
1 Tim. 6
:3
6:3
If anyone teaches
1adifferent things and does not consent to
2bhealthy words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the teaching which is according to
3cgodliness,
1 Tim. 6
:4
6:4
He is
1ablinded with pride, understanding
bnothing, but is
2diseased with
cquestionings and
dcontentions of words, out of which come
eenvy,
fstrife,
3slanders, evil suspicions,
1 Tim. 6
:5
6:5
1Perpetual wranglings of men
acorrupted in mind and
2deprived of the
3truth,
4supposing bgodliness to be a
means of cgain.
1 Tim. 6
:6
6:6
But agodliness with
1bcontentment is
2cgreat gain;
1 Tim. 6
:7
6:7
For 1we have brought
anothing into the world, because
bneither can we carry anything out.
1 Tim. 6
:8
6:8
But having
afood and
1covering, with these we will be
2bcontent.
1 Tim. 6
:9
6:9
But those who
1intend to be
arich fall into temptation and a
bsnare and many foolish and harmful
2desires, which
3plunge men into
4destruction and ruin.
1 Tim. 6
:10
6:10
For the
alove of money is
1a root of all evils,
because of which some,
2aspiring after
money, have
3been bled away from the
4cfaith and pierced themselves through with many pains.

A man of God
6:11-21a
1 Tim. 6
:11
6:11
But you, O
1aman of God,
bflee these things, and
cpursue 2drighteousness,
3egodliness,
4ffaith,
5love,
6endurance,
7meekness.
1 Tim. 6
:12
6:12
1aFight the good fight of the
bfaith; lay
chold on the
2eternal life,
3to which you were
dcalled and have
4econfessed the good confession before many
fwitnesses.
1 Tim. 6
:13
6:13
I acharge you before God, who preserves all things in life, and Christ Jesus, who
btestified the good confession before
cPontius Pilate,
1 Tim. 6
:14
6:14
To keep
1the commandment spotless,
awithout reproach, until the
2bappearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
1 Tim. 6
:15
6:15
1Which in
aits own times
2the bblessed and
conly Sovereign will show, the
dKing of those who reign as kings and
eLord of those who rule as lords,
1 Tim. 6
:16
6:16
Who alone has
aimmortality, dwelling in unapproachable
blight, whom
cno man has seen nor can see, to whom be
dhonor and eternal
emight. Amen.
1 Tim. 6
:17
6:17
aCharge those who are rich in the
bpresent age not to be
chigh-minded, nor to set their
dhope on the
euncertainty of riches but on God, who
faffords us all things
grichly for
our enjoyment;
1 Tim. 6
:18
6:18
To do
1agood, to be
2brich in good works, to be ready to
cdistribute, to be ones willing to share;
1 Tim. 6
:19
6:19
aLaying away for themselves a good
bfoundation as a
ctreasure for the
1future, that they may lay
dhold on
2that which is really life.
1 Tim. 6
:20
6:20
O Timothy,
aguard the
1deposit,
bturning away from
cprofane,
dvain babblings and oppositions from
2what is falsely called knowledge,

this, have
1amisaimed regarding the
bfaith.
cGrace be with you.
