Sha'ul's First Letter to Timothy, Chapter 6
{6:1} Let as many as are bondservants under the yoke count their own
masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine not
be blasphemed. {6:2} Those who have believing masters, let them not
despise them, because they are brothers, but rather let them serve
them, because those who partake of the benefit are believing and
beloved. Teach and exhort these things.
{6:3} If anyone teaches a different doctrine, and doesn't consent to
sound words, the words of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, and to the
doctrine which is according to godliness, {6:4} he is conceited,
knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word
battles, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions,
{6:5} constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of
the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. Withdraw
yourself from such.
{6:6} But godliness with contentment is great gain. {6:7} For we
brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can't carry anything
out. {6:8} But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.
{6:9} But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation
and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in
ruin and destruction. {6:10} For the love of money is a root of all
kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their
greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
{6:11} But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after
righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
{6:12} Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold of the eternal life to
which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the
sight of many witnesses. {6:13} I charge you before God, who gives
life to all things, and before Messiah Yeshua, who before Pontius
Pilate testified the good confession, {6:14} that you keep the
[1>]mitzvah[<1] without spot, blameless, until the appearing of our
Lord Yeshua the Messiah; {6:15} which in its own times he will show,
who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of
lords; {6:16} who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable
light; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and eternal
power. Amein.
{6:17} Charge those who are rich in this present world that they not
be haughty, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but
on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy;
{6:18} that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they
be 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 of eternal life.
{6:20} Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away
from the empty chatter and oppositions of the knowledge which is
falsely so called; {6:21} which some professing have erred concerning
the faith. Grace be with you. Amein.
