Let{G2233} as many{G3745} as{G3745} are{G1526} servants{G1401} under{G5259} the yoke{G2218} count{G2233} their own{G2398} masters{G1203} worthy{G514} of all{G3956} honor,{G5092} that{G2443} the name{G3686} of God{G2316} and{G2532} the doctrine{G1319} be{G987} not{G3361} blasphemed.{G987}

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} let{G1398} them serve{G1398} them the rather,{G3123} because{G3754} they that partake{G482} of the benefit{G2108} are{G1526} believing{G4103} and{G2532} beloved.{G27} These things{G5023} teach{G1321} and{G2532} exhort.{G3870}

If{G1487} any man{G5100} teacheth a different{G2085} doctrine, and{G2532} consenteth{G4334} not{G3361} to sound{G5198} words,{G3056} [even] the{G3588} words of our{G2257} Lord{G2962} Jesus{G2424} Christ,{G5547} and{G2532} to the doctrine{G1319} which is according to{G2596} godliness;{G2150}

he is puffed{G5187} up, knowing{G1987} nothing,{G3367} but{G235} doting{G3552} about{G4012} questionings{G2214} and{G2532} disputes of words,{G3055} whereof{G3739} {G1537} cometh{G1096} envy,{G5355} strife,{G2054} railings,{G988} evil{G4190} surmisings,{G5283}

wranglings{G3859} of men{G444} corrupted{G1311} in mind{G3563} and{G2532} bereft{G650} of the truth,{G225} supposing that{G3543} godliness{G2150} is{G1511} a way of gain.{G4200}

But{G1161} godliness{G2150} with{G3326} contentment{G841} is{G2076} great{G3173} gain:{G4200}

for{G1063} we brought{G1533} nothing{G3762} into{G1519} the world,{G2889} for neither{G1212} can{G1410} we carry{G1627} {G3761} anything{G5100} out;{G1627}

but{G1161} having{G2192} food{G1305} and{G2532} covering{G4629} we shall be{G714} therewith{G5125} content.{G714}

But{G1161} they that are minded{G1014} to be rich{G4147} fall{G1706} into{G1519} a temptation{G3986} and{G2532} a snare{G3803} and{G2532} many{G4183} foolish{G453} and{G2532} hurtful{G983} lusts,{G1939} such as{G3748} drown{G1036} men{G444} in{G1519} destruction{G3639} and{G2532} perdition.{G684}

For{G1063} the love of money{G5365} is{G2076} a root{G4491} of all{G3956} kinds of evil:{G2556} which{G3739} {G3713} some{G5100} reaching after{G3713} have been led astray{G635} from{G575} the faith,{G4102} and{G2532} have pierced{G4044} themselves{G1438} through{G4044} with many{G4183} sorrows.{G3601}

But{G1161} thou,{G4771} O{G5599} man{G444} of God,{G2316} flee{G5343} these things;{G5023} and{G1161} follow after{G1377} righteousness,{G1343} godliness,{G2150} faith,{G4102} love,{G26} patience,{G5281} meekness.{G4236}

Fight{G75} the good{G2570} fight{G73} of the faith,{G4102} lay hold on{G1949} the life{G2222} eternal,{G166} whereunto{G1519} {G1519} thou wast{G2564} {G2532} called,{G2564} and{G2532} didst confess{G3670} the good{G2570} confession{G3671} in the sight{G1799} of many{G4183} witnesses.{G3144}

I {G3853} charge{G3853} thee{G4671} in the sight of{G1799} God,{G2316} who giveth life{G2227} to all things,{G3956} and{G2532} of Christ{G5547} Jesus,{G2424} who{G3140} before{G1909} Pontius{G4194} Pilate{G4091} witnessed{G3140} the good{G2570} confession;{G3671}

that{G5083} thou{G4571} keep{G5083} the commandment,{G1785} without spot,{G784} without reproach,{G423} until{G3360} the appearing{G2015} of our{G2257} Lord{G2962} Jesus{G2424} Christ:{G5547}

which{G3739} in its{G2398} own times{G2540} he shall show,{G1166} who is the blessed{G3107} and{G2532} only{G3441} Potentate,{G1413} the King{G935} of kings,{G936} and{G2532} Lord{G2962} of lords;{G2961}

who{G2192} only{G3441} hath{G2192} immortality,{G110} dwelling in{G3611} light{G5457} unapproachable; whom{G3739} no{G3762} man{G444} hath seen,{G1492} nor{G3761} can{G1410} see:{G1492} to{G676} whom{G3739} [be] honor{G5092} and{G2532} power{G2904} eternal.{G166} Amen.{G281}

Charge{G3853} them that are rich{G4145} in{G1722} this{G3568} present world,{G165} that they be{G5309} not{G3361} highminded,{G5309} nor{G3366} have their hope{G1679} set on{G1909} the uncertainty{G83} of riches,{G4149} but{G235} on{G1722} {G2198} God,{G2316} who giveth{G3930} us{G2254} richly{G4146} all things{G3956} to{G1519} enjoy;{G619}

that they do good,{G14} that they be rich{G4147} in{G1722} good{G2570} works,{G2041} that they be ready to distribute,{G2130} willing to communicate;{G2843}

laying up in store{G597} for themselves{G1438} a good{G2570} foundation{G2310} against{G1519} the time to come,{G3195} that{G2443} they may lay hold on{G1949} the life{G2222} which is [life]{G2222} indeed.

O{G5599} Timothy,{G5095} guard{G5442} that which is committed unto [thee],{G3872} turning{G1624} away from the profane{G952} babblings{G2757} and{G2532} oppositions{G477} of the knowledge{G1108} which is falsely so called;{G5581}

which{G3739} some{G5100} professing{G1861} have erred{G795} concerning{G4012} the faith.{G4102} Grace{G5485} be with{G3326} you.{G4675} Amen.{G281}
