| 6:1 | 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 be not blasphemed. |
| 6:2 | 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. |
| 6:3 | 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; |
| 6:4 | He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, |
| 6:5 | Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. |
| 6:6 | But godliness with contentment is great gain. |
| 6:7 | For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. |
| 6:8 | And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. |
| 6:9 | 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. |
| 6:10 | 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. |
| 6:11 | But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. |
| 6:12 | Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. |
| 6:13 | I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; |
| 6:14 | That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: |
| 6:15 | Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; |
| 6:16 | Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. |
| 6:17 | 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; |
| 6:18 | That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; |
| 6:19 | Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. |
| 6:20 | O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: |
| 6:21 | Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. |
| 6:1 | Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and His doctrine may not be blasphemed. |
| 6:2 | And those who have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brethren, but rather serve them because those who are benefited are faithful and beloved. Teach and exhort these things. |
| 6:3 | If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness, |
| 6:4 | he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, |
| 6:5 | useless disputations of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that gain is godliness. From such withdraw yourself. |
| 6:6 | Now godliness with contentment is great gain. |
| 6:7 | Because, we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. |
| 6:8 | And having food and clothing, with these we should be content. |
| 6:9 | But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. |
| 6:10 | Because, the love of money is the root of all evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their covetousness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. |
| 6:11 | But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. |
| 6:12 | Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed a good confession before of many witnesses. |
| 6:13 | I command you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed a good confession before Pontius Pilate, |
| 6:14 | that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, |
| 6:15 | which He will reveal in His own timeframe, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, |
| 6:16 | who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen. |
| 6:17 | Command those who are rich in this present age not to be arrogant, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. |
| 6:18 | That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to share, |
| 6:19 | storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. |
| 6:20 | O Timothy! Guard that which was committed to your trust, avoiding profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called science, |
| 6:21 | by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be 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. |
