- 1. As many as are servants under a yoke, their own masters worthy of all honour let them reckon, that the name of God and the teaching may not be evil spoken of;
- 2. and those having believing masters, let them not slight `them', because they are brethren, but rather let them serve, because they are stedfast and beloved, who of the benefit are partaking. These things be teaching and exhorting;
- 3. if any one be teaching otherwise, and do not consent to sound words -- those of our Lord Jesus Christ -- and to the teaching according to piety,
- 4. he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and word-striving, out of which doth come envy, strife, evil-speakings, evil-surmisings,
- 5. wranglings of men wholly corrupted in mind, and destitute of the truth, supposing the piety to be gain; depart from such;
- 6. but it is great gain -- the piety with contentment;
- 7. for nothing did we bring into the world -- `it is' manifest that we are able to carry nothing out;
- 8. but having food and raiment -- with these we shall suffice ourselves;
- 9. and those wishing to be rich, do fall into temptation and a snare, and many desires, foolish and hurtful, that sink men into ruin and destruction,
- 10. for a root of all the evils is the love of money, which certain longing for did go astray from the faith, and themselves did pierce through with many sorrows;
- 11. and thou, O man of God, these things flee, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, meekness;
- 12. be striving the good strife of the faith, be laying hold on the life age-during, to which also thou wast called, and didst profess the right profession before many witnesses.
- 13. I charge thee, before God, who is making all things alive, and of Christ Jesus, who did testify before Pontius Pilate the right profession,
- 14. that thou keep the command unspotted, unblameable, till the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
- 15. which in His own times He shall shew -- the blessed and only potentate, the King of the kings and Lord of the lords,
- 16. who only is having immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no one of men did see, nor is able to see, to whom `is' honour and might age-during! Amen.
- 17. Those rich in the present age charge thou not to be high-minded, nor to hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, who is giving to us all things richly for enjoyment; --
- 18. to do good, to be rich in good works, to be ready to impart, willing to communicate,
- 19. treasuring up to themselves a right foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life age-during.
- 20. O Timotheus, the thing entrusted guard thou, avoiding the profane vain-words and opposition of the falsely-named knowledge,
- 21. which certain professing -- concerning the faith did swerve; the grace `is' with you. Amen.
