1 Timothy 6

As many as are slaves under a yoke, let them consider their own masters worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be blasphemed.

But the ones having believing masters, let them not despise {them} because they are brothers, but rather, let them serve {them} because the ones taking the benefaction are believers and beloved. Teach and urge these things. \*

If anyone is teaching differently and does not come to the healthy words, the ones of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the teaching according to godliness,

he is puffed up, understanding nothing, but being sick with controversies and battles about words, from which come envy, strife, blasphemies, evil suspicions,

constant friction of men having been corrupted {in} the mind and having been deprived of the truth, considering godliness to be a means of gain. \*

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

For we brought nothing into the world, that neither are we able to take anything out.

But having food and covering, with these we will be satisfied. \*

But the ones wanting to be rich fall into temptation and a trap and many foolish and harmful desires, whatever sinks men into ruin and destruction.

For a root of all the evils is the love of money, which desiring, some have been led away from the faith and have pierced themselves with many sorrows. \*

But you, O man of God, flee these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, gentleness.

Fight the good fight of the faith, grasp eternal life, to which you were called and {for which} you confessed the good confession before many witnesses. \*

I command you before God, the one making all alive, and Christ Jesus, the one having testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate,

that you keep the commandment spotless, irreproachable, until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ, \*

which in its own times the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of the ones reigning and Lord of the ones ruling, will reveal,

the only One having immortality, dwelling {in} unapproachable light, whom no one of men has seen, nor is able to see, to whom {be} honor and eternal power. Amen. \*

Command the rich in the present age not to be proud, nor to hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in God, the one providing us all things richly for enjoyment,

to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous, willing to share,

storing up for themselves a good foundation for what is coming, so that they may grasp the real life. \*

O Timothy, guard the deposit, turning away from the profane, empty sayings and oppositions of falsely-named knowledge,

which some, professing, have missed the mark concerning the faith. Grace {be} with you.
