1 Timothy 6
6
1Let all who are under the yoke as slaves consider their own masters worthy of full respect, so that God’s name and our teaching may not be slandered.
2And let those who have believing masters not disrespect them because they are brothers, but serve them even more, since those who share in the benefit are believers and loved. Teach and encourage these things.
Finding True Riches
3If anyone passes on a different teaching and does not agree with sound words, those of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, and with the instruction in keeping with godliness,
4he is prideful, understanding nothing. Instead he is obsessed with arguments and disputes about words—out of which come envy, strife, slander, evil suspicions,
5and constant friction between people corrupted in mind and deprived of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.
6Now godliness with contentment is great gain.
7For we brought nothing into this world, So we cannot take anything out of it.
8But having food and clothing, with these things we shall be content.
9But those who want to be rich fall into temptation and a trap and many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction.
10For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil—some, longing for it, have gone astray from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11But you, O man of God, flee from these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faithfulness, love, perseverance, and gentleness.
12Fight the good fight of faith! Take hold of the eternal life—you were called to it, and you made the good confession for it in the presence of many witnesses.
13I charge you before God who gives life to all things and Messiah Yeshua who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate,
14to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
15This He will reveal in His own time—the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and the Lord of lords,
16who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or is able to see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.
17Direct those who are rich in this present age not to be proud or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but rather on God—who richly provides us with everything to enjoy.
18Direct them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, to be generous, sharing,
19storing up for themselves a good foundation for the future, so they might take hold of the true life.
20O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, turning away from pointless chatter and the contradictions of so-called knowledge—
21by professing it, some have missed the mark concerning the faith. Grace be with you.

1 Timothy 6
6
1#Titus 2:5; Isa 52:5Let as many servants as are under the yoke of slavery count their own masters worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and His doctrine may not be slandered. 2#1Ti 4:11Let those who have believing masters not despise them, because they are brothers. Instead, let them serve as slaves, because those who receive their service are faithful and beloved.
False Teaching and True Wealth
Teach and command these things. 3#1Ti 1:3; 1:10Anyone who teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, to the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to godly doctrine 4#1Ti 1:4; 3:6is conceited and knows nothing. He has a morbid disposition for controversy and verbal disputes, from which come envy, strife, blasphemies, evil speculations, 5#2Ti 3:8; Titus 1:11constant disputes by men of corrupt minds, being destitute of the truth, and supposing that financial gain is godliness. Withdraw yourself from such men.
6#1Ti 4:8; Heb 13:5But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7#Job 1:21; Ps 49:17For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain that we can carry nothing out. 8#Ge 28:20If we have food and clothing, we shall be content with these things. 9#Pr 15:27; 1Ti 3:7But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and into many foolish and harmful lusts, which drown men in ruin and destruction. 10#Dt 16:19For the love of money is the root of all evil. While coveting after money, some have strayed from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
The Good Fight of Faith
11#2Ti 2:22; 3:17But you, O man of God, escape these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness. 12#1Ti 1:18; 1Co 9:25–26Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold on eternal life, to which you are called and have professed a good profession before many witnesses. 13#1Ti 5:21; Mt 27:11I command you, in the sight of God, who gives life to all things, and in the sight of Christ Jesus, who testified a good confession before Pontius Pilate, 14to keep this commandment without blemish, blameless until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15#1Ti 1:11; Rev 17:14which He, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, will reveal at the proper time. 16#1Ti 1:17; Jn 1:18; Ps 104:2He alone has immortality, living in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen, nor can see. To Him be honor and everlasting power. Amen.
17#Ro 11:20; 1Ti 4:10Command those who are rich in this world that they not be conceited, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who richly gives us all things to enjoy. 18#Ro 12:8; 12:13Command that they do good, that they be rich in good works, generous, willing to share, 19#Lk 16:9; 1Ti 6:12and laying up in store for themselves a good foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of eternal life.
20#Col 2:8; 2Ti 2:16O Timothy, guard that which is committed to your trust. Avoid profane babblings and opposing views from so-called knowledge. 21#2Ti 2:18; Col 4:18By professing it, some have erred concerning the faith.
Grace be with you. Amen.
