1 Timothy 6

Instructions to Those Who Minister

1

 aAllg3745 whog3745 are underg5259 the yokeg2218 as slavesg1401 are to regardg2233 their owng2398 mastersg1203 as worthyg514 of allg3956 honorg5092 sog2443  bthat the nameg3686 of Godg2316 and our doctrineg1319 will not be  1spokeng987 againstg987.

2

Thoseg3588 who haveg2192 believersg4103 as their mastersg1203 must not be disrespectfulg2706 to them becauseg3754 they are  abrethreng80, but must serveg1398 them allg3123 the moreg3123, becauseg3754 thoseg3588 who  1partakeg482 of the benefitg2108 are believersg4103 and belovedg27.  bTeachg1321 and  2preachg3870 theseg3778 principles.

3

Ifg1487 anyoneg5100  aadvocatesg2085 a differentg2085 doctrineg2085 and does not  1agreeg4334 with  bsoundg5198 wordsg3056, thoseg3588 of our Lordg2962 Jesusg2424 Christg5547, and with the doctrineg1319  cconformingg2596 to godlinessg2150,

4

he is  aconceitedg5187 and understandsg1987 nothingg3367; but he  1hasg3552 a morbidg3552 interestg3552 in  bcontroversialg2214 questionsg2214 and  cdisputesg3055 aboutg3055 wordsg3055, out of whichg3739 ariseg1096 envyg5355, strifeg2054, abusiveg988 languageg988, evilg4190 suspicionsg5283,

5

and constantg1275 frictiong1275 between  ameng444 of depravedg1311 mindg3563 and deprivedg650 of the truthg225, who  bsupposeg3543 that  1godlinessg2150 is a meansg4200 of gaing4200.

6

 aBut godlinessg2150 actually is a meansg4200 of  bgreatg3173 gaing4200 when accompaniedg3326 by  ccontentmentg841.

7

For  awe have broughtg1533 nothingg3762 into the worldg2889, sog3754 we cannotg1410g3761 takeg1627 anythingg5100 out of it eitherg3761.

8

If we  ahaveg2192 foodg1305 and coveringg4629, with theseg3778 we shall be contentg714.

9

 aBut thoseg3588 who wantg1014 to getg4147 richg4147 fallg1706 into temptationg3986 and  ba snareg3803 and manyg4183 foolishg453 and harmfulg983 desiresg1939 whichg3748 plungeg1036 meng444 into ruing3639 and destructiong684.

10

For  athe loveg5365 of moneyg5365 is a rootg4491 of allg3956  1sorts of evilg2556, and someg5100 by longingg3713 for it have  bwanderedg635 awayg635 from the faithg4102 and piercedg4044 themselvesg1438 with manyg4183 griefsg3601.

11

But  afleeg5343 from theseg3778 thingsg3778, you  bmang444 of Godg2316, and pursueg1377 righteousnessg1343, godlinessg2150,  cfaithg4102,  dloveg26,  1perseveranceg5281 and gentlenessg4239a.

12

 aFightg75 the goodg2570 fightg73 of  bfaithg4102;  ctakeg1949 holdg1949 of the eternalg166 lifeg2222  dto whichg3739 you were calledg2564, and you madeg3670 the goodg2570  econfessiong3671 in the presenceg1799 of  fmanyg4183 witnessesg3144.

13

 aI chargeg3853 you in the presenceg1799 of Godg2316, who  1givesg2225 lifeg2225 to allg3956 thingsg3956, and of  bChristg5547 Jesusg2424, who testifiedg3140 the  cgoodg2570 confessiong3671  dbeforeg1909 Pontiusg4194 Pilateg4091,

14

that you keepg5083 the commandmentg1785 withoutg784g423 staing784 or reproachg423 untilg3360 the  aappearingg2015 of our Lordg2962 Jesusg2424 Christg5547,

15

whichg3739 He will  1bringg1166 about at  athe properg2398 timeg2540--He who is  bthe blessedg3107 and  conlyg3441 Sovereigng1413,  dthe Kingg935 of  2kingsg936 and  eLordg2962 of  3lordsg2961,

16

 awho aloneg3441 possessesg2192 immortalityg110 and  bdwellsg3611 in unapproachableg676 lightg5457,  cwhomg3739 nog3762 mang444 has seeng3708 org3761 cang1410 seeg3708.  aTo Him be honorg5092 and eternalg166 dominiong2904! Ameng281.

17

Instructg3853 thoseg3588 who are richg4145 in  athisg3588 presentg3568 worldg165  bnot to be conceitedg5309 org3366 to  cfixg1679 their hopeg1679 on the uncertaintyg83 of richesg4149, but on Godg2316,  dwho richlyg4146 suppliesg3930 us with allg3956 thingsg3956 to enjoyg619.

18

Instruct them to dog14 goodg14, to be richg4147 in  agoodg2570  1worksg2041,  bto be generousg2130 and readyg2843 to shareg2843,

19

 astoringg597 up for themselvesg1438 the treasureg597 of a goodg2570 foundationg2310b for the futureg3195, sog2443 that they may  btakeg1949 holdg1949 of that which is lifeg2222 indeedg3689.

20

Og5599  aTimothyg5095, guardg5442  bwhatg3866 has been entrustedg3866 to you, avoidingg1624  cworldlyg952 and emptyg2757 chatterg2757 and the opposingg477 argumentsg477 of whatg5581 is falselyg5581 calledg5581 "knowledgeg1108"--

21

whichg3739 someg5100 have professedg1861 and thus  agoneg795 astrayg795  1from  bthe faithg4102.

 cGraceg5485 be with you.
