| 6: |
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. |
| 6: |
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. |
| 6: |
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; |
| 6: |
4 |
He is proud, knowing nothing, but
doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil
surmisings, |
| 6: |
5 |
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt
minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw
thyself. |
| 6: |
6 |
But godliness with contentment is great
gain. |
| 6: |
7 |
For we brought nothing into this world, and it
is certain we can carry nothing out. |
| 6: |
8 |
And having food and raiment let us be
therewith content. |
| 6: |
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. |
| 6: |
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. |
| 6: |
11 |
But thou, O man of God, flee these things;
and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. |
| 6: |
12 |
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on
eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before
many witnesses. |
| 6: |
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; |
| 6: |
14 |
That thou keep this commandment without
spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: |
| 6: |
15 |
Which in his times he shall shew, who is the
blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; |
| 6: |
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. |
| 6: |
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; |
| 6: |
18 |
That they do good, that they be rich in good
works, 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 on eternal life. |
| 6: |
20 |
O Timothy, keep that which is committed
to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so
called: |
| 6: |
21 |
Which some professing have erred concerning
the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. |
