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.

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.

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;

⁴ He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

⁵ Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

⁶ But godliness with contentment is great gain.

⁷ For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

⁸ And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

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.

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.

¹¹ But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

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.

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;

¹⁴ That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

¹⁵ Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

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.

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;

¹⁸ That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;

¹⁹ Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

²⁰ O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

²¹ Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.

¹ Let ^G1526 as many ^G3745 servants ^G1401 as ^G3745 are ^G1526 under ^G5259 the yoke ^G2218 count ^G2233 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

² And ^G1161 they that have ^G2192 believing ^G4103 masters, ^G1203 let them ^G2706 not ^G3361 despise ^G2706 them, because ^G3754 they are ^G1526 brethren; ^G80 but ^G235 rather ^G3123 do them service, ^G1398 because ^G3754 they are ^G1526 faithful ^G4103 and ^G2532 beloved, ^G27 partakers ^G482 of the benefit. ^G2108 These things ^G5023 teach ^G1321 and ^G2532 exhort. ^G3870

⁶ But ^G1161 godliness ^G2150 with ^G3326 contentment ^G841 is ^G2076 great ^G3173 gain. ^G4200

⁷ For ^G1063 we brought ^G1533 nothing ^G3762 into ^G1519 this world, ^G2889 and it is certain ^{G1212 G3754} we can ^G1410 carry ^G1627 nothing ^{G3761 G5100} out. ^G1627

⁸ And ^G1161 having ^G2192 food ^G1305 and ^G2532 raiment ^G4629 let us be ^G714 therewith ^G5125 content. ^G714

⁹ But ^G1161 they that will ^G1014 be rich ^G4147 fall ^G1706 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 men ^G444 in ^G1519 destruction ^G3639 and ^G2532 perdition. ^G684

¹⁰ For ^G1063 the love of money ^G5365 is ^G2076 the root ^G4491 of all ^G3956 evil: ^G2556 which ^G3739 while some ^G5100 coveted after, ^G3713 they have erred ^G635 from ^G575 the faith, ^G4102 and ^G2532 pierced ^G4044 themselves ^G1438 through ^G4044 with many ^G4183 sorrows. ^G3601

¹³ I give ^G3853 thee ^G4671 charge ^G3853 in the sight ^G1799 of God, ^G2316 who ^G3588 quickeneth ^G2227 all things, ^G3956 and ^G2532 before Christ ^G5547 Jesus, ^G2424 who ^G3588 before ^G1909 Pontius ^G4194 Pilate ^G4091 witnessed ^G3140 a good ^G2570 confession; ^G3671

¹¹ But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.

¹² Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.

³ If any man gives different teaching, not in agreement with the true words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the teaching which is in agreement with true religion,

⁴ He has an over-high opinion of himself; being without knowledge, having only an unhealthy love of questionings and wars of words, from which come envy, fighting, cruel words, evil thoughts,

⁵ Bitter talk of men who, being evil in mind and dead to what is true, take the faith to be a way of making profit.

⁶ But true faith, with peace of mind, is of great profit:

⁷ For we came into the world with nothing, and we are not able to take anything out;

⁸ But if we have food and a roof over us, let that be enough.

⁹ But those who have a desire for wealth are falling into danger, and are taken as in a net by a number of foolish and damaging desires, through which men are overtaken by death and destruction.

¹⁰ For the love of money is a root of all evil: and some whose hearts were fixed on it have been turned away from the faith, and been wounded with unnumbered sorrows.

¹¹ But you, O man of God, keep yourself from these things, and go after righteousness, religion, faith, love, a quiet mind, gentle behaviour.

¹² Be fighting the good fight of the faith; take for yourself the life eternal, for which you were marked out, and of which you gave witness in the eyes of all.

¹³ I give you orders before God, the giver of life, and Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate gave witness to the faith,

¹⁴ To keep the word untouched by evil, clear from all shame, till the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ:

¹⁵ Which at the right time he will make clear, who is the eternal and only Ruler, King of kings, and Lord of lords;

¹⁶ Who only has life for ever, living in light to which no man may come near; whom no man has seen or is able to see: to whom be honour and power for ever. So be it.

¹⁷ Give orders to those who have money and goods in this life, not to be lifted up in their minds, or to put their hope in the uncertain chances of wealth, but in God who gives us in full measure all things for our use;

¹⁸ And to do good, having wealth in good works, being quick to give, taking part with one another;

¹⁹ Making ready for themselves a safe place for the time to come, so that the true life may be theirs.

²⁰ O Timothy, take good care of that which is given to you, turning away from the wrong and foolish talk and arguments of that knowledge which is falsely so named;

²¹ Through which some, who gave their minds to it, have been turned away from the faith. Grace be with you.
