6:1 Let
all
who
are
under
a
yoke
as
slaves
regard
their
own
masters
as
worthy
of
all
honor,
so
that
the
name
of
God
and
the
teaching
may
not
be
reviled.
6:2 Those
who
have
believing
masters
must
not
be
disrespectful
on
the
ground
that
they
are
brothers;
rather
they
must
serve
all
the
better
since
those
who
benefit
by
their
good
service
are
believers
and
beloved.
Teach
and
urge
these
things.
6:3 If
anyone
teaches
a
different
doctrine
and
does
not
agree
with
the
sound
words
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
and
the
teaching
that
accords
with
godliness,
6:4 he
is
puffed
up
with
conceit
and
understands
nothing.
He
has
an
unhealthy
craving
for
controversy
and
for
quarrels
about
words,
which
produce
envy,
dissension,
slander,
evil
suspicions,
6:5 and
constant
friction
among
people
who
are
depraved
in
mind
and
deprived
of
the
truth,
imagining
that
godliness
is
a
means
of
gain.
6:6 Now
there
is
great
gain
in
godliness
with
contentment,
6:7 for
we
brought
nothing
into
the
world,
and
we
cannot
take
anything
out
of
the
world.
6:8 But
if
we
have
food
and
clothing,
with
these
we
will
be
content.
6:9 But
those
who
desire
to
be
rich
fall
into
temptation,
into
a
snare,
into
many
senseless
and
harmful
desires
that
plunge
people
into
ruin
and
destruction.
6:10 For
the
love
of
money
is
a
root
of
all
kinds
of
evils.
It
is
through
this
craving
that
some
have
wandered
away
from
the
faith
and
pierced
themselves
with
many
pangs.
6:11 But
as
for
you,
O
man
of
God,
flee
these
things.
Pursue
righteousness,
godliness,
faith,
love,
steadfastness,
gentleness.
6:12 Fight
the
good
fight
of
the
faith.
Take
hold
of
the
eternal
life
to
which
you
were
called
and
about
which
you
made
the
good
confession
in
the
presence
of
many
witnesses.
6:13 I
charge
you
in
the
presence
of
God,
who
gives
life
to
all
things,
and
of
Christ
Jesus,
who
in
his
testimony
before
Pontius
Pilate
made
the
good
confession,
6:14 to
keep
the
commandment
unstained
and
free
from
reproach
until
the
appearing
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
6:15 which
he
will
display
at
the
proper
time--he
who
is
the
blessed
and
only
Sovereign,
the
King
of
kings
and
Lord
of
lords,
6:16 who
alone
has
immortality,
who
dwells
in
unapproachable
light,
whom
no
one
has
ever
seen
or
can
see.
To
him
be
honor
and
eternal
dominion.
Amen.
6:17 As
for
the
rich
in
this
present
age,
charge
them
not
to
be
haughty,
nor
to
set
their
hopes
on
the
uncertainty
of
riches,
but
on
God,
who
richly
provides
us
with
everything
to
enjoy.
6:18 They
are
to
do
good,
to
be
rich
in
good
works,
to
be
generous
and
ready
to
share,
6:19 thus
storing
up
treasure
for
themselves
as
a
good
foundation
for
the
future,
so
that
they
may
take
hold
of
that
which
is
truly
life.
6:20 O
Timothy,
guard
the
deposit
entrusted
to
you.
Avoid
the
irreverent
babble
and
contradictions
of
what
is
falsely
called
"knowledge,"
6:21 for
by
professing
it
some
have
swerved
from
the
faith.
Grace
be
with
you.
