1Timothy 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;YLT — 1Timothy 6:1

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;YLT — 1Timothy 6:2

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,YLT — 1Timothy 6:3

4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and word-striving, out of which doth come envy, strife, evil-speakings, evil-surmisings,YLT — 1Timothy 6:4

5 wranglings of men wholly corrupted in mind, and destitute of the truth, supposing the piety to be gain; depart from such;YLT — 1Timothy 6:5

6 but it is great gain — the piety with contentment;YLT — 1Timothy 6:6

7 for nothing did we bring into the world — [it is] manifest that we are able to carry nothing out;YLT — 1Timothy 6:7

8 but having food and raiment — with these we shall suffice ourselves;YLT — 1Timothy 6:8

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,YLT — 1Timothy 6:9

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;YLT — 1Timothy 6:10

11 and thou, O man of God, these things flee, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, meekness;YLT — 1Timothy 6:11

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.YLT — 1Timothy 6:12

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,YLT — 1Timothy 6:13

14 that thou keep the command unspotted, unblameable, till the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ,YLT — 1Timothy 6:14

15 which in His own times He shall shew — the blessed and only potentate, the King of the kings and Lord of the lords,YLT — 1Timothy 6:15

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.YLT — 1Timothy 6:16

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; —YLT — 1Timothy 6:17

18 to do good, to be rich in good works, to be ready to impart, willing to communicate,YLT — 1Timothy 6:18

19 treasuring up to themselves a right foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life age-during.YLT — 1Timothy 6:19

20 O Timotheus, the thing entrusted guard thou, avoiding the profane vain-words and opposition of the falsely-named knowledge,YLT — 1Timothy 6:20

21 which certain professing — concerning the faith did swerve; the grace [is] with you. Amen.YLT — 1Timothy 6:21
