1 Timothy 6
6
1Whosoever are servants under the yoke, let them count their masters worthy of all honour; lest the name of the Lord and his doctrine be blasphemed.
2But they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but serve them the rather, because they are faithful and beloved, who are partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
3If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to that doctrine which is according to godliness,
4He is proud, knowing nothing, but sick about questions and strifes of words; from which arise envies, contentions, blasphemies, evil suspicions,
5Conflicts of men corrupted in mind, and who are destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness.
6But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7For we brought nothing into this world: and certainly we can carry nothing out.
8But having food, and wherewith to be covered, with these we are content.
9For they that will become rich, fall into temptation, and into the snare of the devil, and into many unprofitable and hurtful desires, which drown men into destruction and perdition.
10For the desire of money is the root of all evils; which some coveting have erred from the faith, and have entangled themselves in many sorrows.
11But thou, O man of God, fly these things: and pursue justice, godliness, faith, charity, patience, mildness.
12Fight the good fight of faith: lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art called, and hast confessed a good confession before many witnesses.
13I charge thee before God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who gave testimony under Pontius Pilate, a good confession,
14That thou keep the commandment without spot, blameless, unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15Which in his times he shall shew who is the Blessed and only Mighty, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16Who only hath immortality, and inhabiteth light inaccessible, whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and empire everlasting. Amen.
17Charge the rich of this world not to be highminded, nor to trust in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, (who giveth us abundantly all things to enjoy,)
18To do good, to be rich in good works, to give easily, to communicate to others,
19To lay up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the true life.
20O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding the profane novelties of words, and oppositions of knowledge falsely so called.
21Which some promising, have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.

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.
