1 Timothy 6:8
chevron_left

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.
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.
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;
4
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, where of cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
5
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
6
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7
For we brought nothing into
this
world,
and it is
certain we can carry no thing out.
And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
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.
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.
11
But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, where unto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
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;
14
That thou keep
this
commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
15
Which in his times he shall shew,
who is
the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
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.
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;
18
That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
19
Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
20
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane
and
vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
21
Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace
be
with thee. Amen.
