Let{G1526} as many{G3745} servants{G1401} as{G3745} are{G1526}{(G5748)} under{G5259} the yoke{G2218} count{G2233}{(G5737)} their own{G2398} masters{G1203} worthy{G514} of all{G3956} honour{G5092}, that{G3363} the name{G3686} of God{G2316} and{G2532} his doctrine{G1319} be{G987} not{G3363} blasphemed{G987}{(G5747)}.

And{G1161} they that have{G2192}{(G5723)} believing{G4103} masters{G1203}, let them{G2706} not{G3361} despise{G2706}{(G5720)} them, because{G3754} they are{G1526}{(G5748)} brethren{G80}; but{G235} rather{G3123} do them service{G1398}{(G5720)}, because{G3754} they are{G1526}{(G5748)} faithful{G4103} and{G2532} beloved{G27}, partakers{G482}{(G5740)} of the benefit{G2108}. These things{G5023} teach{G1321}{(G5720)} and{G2532} exhort{G3870}{(G5720)}.

If any man{G1536} teach otherwise{G2085}{(G5719)}, and{G2532} consent{G4334}{(G5736)} not{G3361} to wholesome{G5198}{(G5723)} words{G3056}, even the words of our{G2257} Lord{G2962} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547}, and{G2532} to the doctrine{G1319} which is according{G2596} to godliness{G2150};

He is proud{G5187}{(G5769)}, knowing{G1987}{(G5740)} nothing{G3367}, but{G235} doting{G3552}{(G5723)} about{G4012} questions{G2214} and{G2532} strifes of words{G3055}, whereof{G1537}{G3739} cometh{G1096}{(G5736)} envy{G5355}, strife{G2054}, railings{G988}, evil{G4190} surmisings{G5283},

Perverse disputings{G3859} of men{G444} of corrupt{G1311}{(G5772)} minds{G3563}, and{G2532} destitute{G650}{(G5772)} of the truth{G225}, supposing{G3543}{(G5723)} that gain{G4200} is{G1511}{(G5750)} godliness{G2150}: from{G575} such{G5108} withdraw thyself{G868}{(G5737)}.

But{G1161} godliness{G2150} with{G3326} contentment{G841} is{G2076}{(G5748)} great{G3173} gain{G4200}.

For{G1063} we brought{G1533}{(G5656)} nothing{G3762} into{G1519} this world{G2889}, and it is certain{G1212}{G3754} we can{G1410}{(G5736)} carry{G1627} nothing{G3761}{G5100} out{G1627}{(G5629)}.

And{G1161} having{G2192}{(G5723)} food{G1305} and{G2532} raiment{G4629} let us be{G714} therewith{G5125} content{G714}{(G5701)}.

But{G1161} they that will{G1014}{(G5740)} be rich{G4147}{(G5721)} fall{G1706}{(G5719)} into{G1519} temptation{G3986} and{G2532} a snare{G3803}, and{G2532} into many{G4183} foolish{G453} and{G2532} hurtful{G983} lusts{G1939}, which{G3748} drown{G1036}{(G5719)} men{G444} in{G1519} destruction{G3639} and{G2532} perdition{G684}.

For{G1063} the love of money{G5365} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the root{G4491} of all{G3956} evil{G2556}: which{G3739} while some{G5100} coveted after{G3713}{(G5734)}, they have erred{G635}{(G5681)} from{G575} the faith{G4102}, and{G2532} pierced{G4044} themselves{G1438} through{G4044}{(G5656)} with many{G4183} sorrows{G3601}.

But{G1161} thou{G4771}, O{G5599} man{G444} of God{G2316}, flee{G5343}{(G5720)} these things{G5023}; and{G1161} follow after{G1377}{(G5720)} righteousness{G1343}, godliness{G2150}, faith{G4102}, love{G26}, patience{G5281}, meekness{G4236}.

Fight{G75}{(G5737)} the good{G2570} fight{G73} of faith{G4102}, lay hold on{G1949}{(G5634)} eternal{G166} life{G2222}, whereunto{G1519}{G3739} thou art{G2564} also{G2532} called{G2564}{(G5681)}, and{G2532} hast professed{G3670}{(G5656)} a good{G2570} profession{G3671} before{G1799} many{G4183} witnesses{G3144}.

I give{G3853} thee{G4671} charge{G3853}{(G5719)} in the sight{G1799} of God{G2316}, who{G3588} quickeneth{G2227}{(G5723)} all things{G3956}, and{G2532} before Christ{G5547} Jesus{G2424}, who{G3588} before{G1909} Pontius{G4194} Pilate{G4091} witnessed{G3140}{(G5660)} a good{G2570} confession{G3671};

That thou{G4571} keep{G5083}{(G5658)} this commandment{G1785} without spot{G784}, unrebukeable{G423}, until{G3360} the appearing{G2015} of our{G2257} Lord{G2962} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547}:

Which{G3739} in his{G2398} times{G2540} he shall shew{G1166}{(G5692)}, who{G3588} is the blessed{G3107} and{G2532} only{G3441} Potentate{G1413}, the King{G935} of kings{G936}{(G5723)}, and{G2532} Lord{G2962} of lords{G2961}{(G5723)};

Who{G3588} only{G3441} hath{G2192}{(G5723)} immortality{G110}, dwelling{G3611}{(G5723)} in the light{G5457} which no man{G3762} can approach unto{G676}; whom{G3739} no man{G444} hath seen{G1492}{(G5627)}, nor{G3761} can{G1410}{(G5736)} see{G1492}{(G5629)}: to whom{G3739} be honour{G5092} and{G2532} power{G2904} everlasting{G166}. Amen{G281}.

Charge{G3853}{(G5720)} them that are rich{G4145} in{G1722} this{G3568} world{G165}, that they be{G5309} not{G3361} highminded{G5309}{(G5721)}, nor{G3366} trust{G1679}{(G5760)} in{G1909} uncertain{G83} riches{G4149}, but{G235} in{G1722} the living{G2198}{(G5723)} God{G2316}, who{G3588} giveth{G3930}{(G5723)} us{G2254} richly{G4146} all things{G3956} to{G1519} enjoy{G619};

That they do good{G14}{(G5721)}, that they be rich{G4147}{(G5721)} in{G1722} good{G2570} works{G2041}, ready to distribute{G1511}{(G5750)}{G2130}, willing to communicate{G2843};

Laying up in store{G597}{(G5723)} for themselves{G1438} a good{G2570} foundation{G2310} against{G1519} the time to come{G3195}{(G5723)}, that{G2443} they may lay hold on{G1949}{(G5638)} eternal{G166} life{G2222}.

O{G5599} Timothy{G5095}, keep{G5442}{(G5657)} that which is committed to thy trust{G3872}, avoiding{G1624}{(G5734)} profane{G952} and vain babblings{G2757}, and{G2532} oppositions{G477} of science{G1108} falsely so called{G5581}:

Which{G3739} some{G5100} professing{G1861}{(G5740)} have erred{G795}{(G5656)} concerning{G4012} the faith{G4102}. Grace{G5485} be with{G3326} thee{G4675}. Amen{G281}. The first{G4413} to{G4314} Timothy{G5095} was written{G1125}{(G5648)} from{G575} Laodicea{G2993}, which{G3748} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the chiefest city{G3390} of Phrygia{G5435} Pacatiana{G3818}.
