| 6:1 | As many as are servants under a yoke, their own masters worthy of all honour let them reckon, that the name of God and the teaching may not be evil spoken of; |
| 6:2 | and those having believing masters, let them not slight `them', because they are brethren, but rather let them serve, because they are stedfast and beloved, who of the benefit are partaking. These things be teaching and exhorting; |
| 6:3 | if any one be teaching otherwise, and do not consent to sound words -- those of our Lord Jesus Christ -- and to the teaching according to piety, |
| 6:4 | he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and word-striving, out of which doth come envy, strife, evil-speakings, evil-surmisings, |
| 6:5 | wranglings of men wholly corrupted in mind, and destitute of the truth, supposing the piety to be gain; depart from such; |
| 6:6 | but it is great gain -- the piety with contentment; |
| 6:7 | for nothing did we bring into the world -- `it is' manifest that we are able to carry nothing out; |
| 6:8 | but having food and raiment -- with these we shall suffice ourselves; |
| 6:9 | and those wishing to be rich, do fall into temptation and a snare, and many desires, foolish and hurtful, that sink men into ruin and destruction, |
| 6:10 | for a root of all the evils is the love of money, which certain longing for did go astray from the faith, and themselves did pierce through with many sorrows; |
| 6:11 | and thou, O man of God, these things flee, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, meekness; |
| 6:12 | be striving the good strife of the faith, be laying hold on the life age-during, to which also thou wast called, and didst profess the right profession before many witnesses. |
| 6:13 | I charge thee, before God, who is making all things alive, and of Christ Jesus, who did testify before Pontius Pilate the right profession, |
| 6:14 | that thou keep the command unspotted, unblameable, till the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ, |
| 6:15 | which in His own times He shall shew -- the blessed and only potentate, the King of the kings and Lord of the lords, |
| 6:16 | who only is having immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no one of men did see, nor is able to see, to whom `is' honour and might age-during! Amen. |
| 6:17 | Those rich in the present age charge thou not to be high-minded, nor to hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, who is giving to us all things richly for enjoyment; -- |
| 6:18 | to do good, to be rich in good works, to be ready to impart, willing to communicate, |
| 6:19 | treasuring up to themselves a right foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life age-during. |
| 6:20 | O Timotheus, the thing entrusted guard thou, avoiding the profane vain-words and opposition of the falsely-named knowledge, |
| 6:21 | which certain professing -- concerning the faith did swerve; the grace `is' with you. Amen. |
| 6:1 | Let as many servauntes as are vnder ye yoke counte their masters worthy of all honour that the name of god and his doctryne be not evyll spoken of. |
| 6:2 | Se that they which have belevynge masters despyse them not because they are brethren: but so moche the rather do service for as moche as they are belevynge and beloved and partakers of the benefite. |
| 6:3 | These thynges teache and exhorte. Yf eny man teache other wise and is not contet with ye wholsome wordes of oure lorde Iesu christ and with the doctryne of godlines |
| 6:4 | he is pufte vp and knoweth nothynge: but wasteth his braynes aboute questions and stryfe of wordes wherof sprynge envie stryfe raylinges evyll surmysinges |
| 6:5 | and vayne disputacions of men with corrupte myndes and destitute of the trueth which thynke that lucre is godlines. From soche seperate thy silfe. |
| 6:6 | Godlines is great ryches yf a man be content with that he hath. |
| 6:7 | For we brought nothynge into the worlde and it is a playne case that we can cary nothynge out. |
| 6:8 | When we have fode and rayment let vs therwith be contet. |
| 6:9 | They that wilbe ryche faule into temptacio and snares and into many folysshe and noysome lustes which droune me in perdicion and destruccion. |
| 6:10 | For coveteousnes is the rote of all evyll which whill some lusted after they erred fro the fayth and tanglyd them selves with many sorowes. |

| 6:15 | which aperynge (when the tyme ys come) he shall shewe that is blessed and myghty only kynge of kynges and lorde of lordes |
| 6:16 | which only hath immortalite and dwelleth in light that no man can attayne whom never man sawe nether can se: vnto whom be honoure and rule everlastynge. Amen. |
| 6:17 | Charge them that are ryche in this worlde that they be not excedynge wyse and that they trust not in the vncertayne ryches but in the livynge god which geveth vs aboundantly all thynges to enioye them |
| 6:18 | and that they do good and be ryche in good workes and redy to geve and to distribute |
| 6:19 | layinge vp in store for them selves a good foundacio agaynst the tyme to come yt they maye obteyne eternall lyfe |
| 6:20 | O Timothe save that which is geve ye to kepe and avoyde vngostly vanities of voyces and opposicios of sciece falsly so called |
| 6:21 | which sciece whyll some professed they have erred as concernynge the fayth. Grace be with the Amen. |
| 6:1 | Let as many seruauntes as are vnder the yocke, counte their masters worthy of all honoure, that the name of God and his doctrine be not euell spoken of. |
| 6:2 | Se that they which haue beleuynge masters, despyse them not because they are brethre, but rather do seruyce, for so moch as they are beleuynge, and beloued, and partakers of the benefite. |
| 6:3 | These thinges teach and exhorte. Yf eny ma teach otherwyse, and agreeth not vnto the wholsome wordes of oure LORDE Iesus Christ, and to the doctryne of godlynes, |

| 6:5 | vayne disputacios of soch men as haue corrupte myndes, and are robbed of the trueth, which thynke that godlynes is lucre: From soch separate thy selfe. |
| 6:6 | Howbeit it is greate avautage, who so is godly, and holdeth him content with that he hath. |
| 6:7 | For we broughte nothinge in to the worlde, therfore is it a playne case yt we can cary nothinge out. |
| 6:8 | Whan we haue fode and rayment, let vs therwith be content. |
| 6:9 | For they that wylbe riche, fall in to the teptacion and snare, and in to many folisshe & noysome lustes, which drowne men in destruccion and damnacion. |
| 6:10 | For Couetousnes is the rote of all euell, which whyle some lusted after, they erred from the faith, and tangled them selues with many sorowes. |
