chapter 6
1
Whosoever
are servants under the yoke, let them count their masters worthy of all honour;
lest the name of the Lord and his doctrine be blasphemed.
2 But they that have believing masters, let them not
despise them, because they are brethren; but serve them the rather, because
they are faithful and beloved, who are partakers of the benefit. These things
teach and exhort.
3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to the
sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to that doctrine which is according
to godliness,
4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but sick about
questions and strifes of words; from which arise envies, contentions,
blasphemies, evil suspicions,
5 Conflicts of men corrupted in mind, and who are
destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness.
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into this world: and certainly
we can carry nothing out.
8 But having food, and wherewith to be covered, with
these we are content.
9 For they that will become rich, fall into temptation,
and into the snare of the devil, and into many unprofitable and hurtful
desires, which drown men into destruction and perdition.
10 For the desire of money is the root of all evils;
which some coveting have erred from the faith, and have entangled themselves in
many sorrows.
11 But thou, O man of God, fly these things: and pursue
justice, godliness, faith, charity, patience, mildness.
12 Fight the good fight of faith: lay hold on eternal
life, whereunto thou art called, and hast confessed a good confession before
many witnesses.
13 I charge thee before God, who quickeneth all things,
and before Christ Jesus, who gave testimony under Pontius Pilate, a good
confession,
14 That thou keep the commandment without spot,
blameless, unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Which in his times he shall shew who is the Blessed
and only Mighty, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16 Who only hath immortality, and inhabiteth light
inaccessible, whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and empire
everlasting. Amen.
17 Charge the rich of this world not to be highminded,
nor to trust in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, (who giveth
us abundantly all things to enjoy,)
18 To do good, to be rich in good works, to give
easily, to communicate to others,
19 To lay up in store for themselves a good foundation
against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the true life.
20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy
trust, avoiding the profane novelties of words, and oppositions of knowledge
falsely so called.
21 Which some promising, have erred concerning the
faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
