1Timothy:6:11-21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But you ,
O man of God ,
flee these things and pursue righteousness ,
godliness ,
faith ,
love ,
patience ,
gentleness .
*
Fight the good fight of faith ,
lay hold on eternal life ,
to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses .
*
I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things ,
and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate ,
*
that you keep this commandment without spot ,
blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ '
s appearing ,
*
which He will manifest in His own time ,
He who is the blessed and only Potentate ,
the King of kings and Lord of lords ,
*
who alone has immortality ,
dwelling in unapproachable light ,
whom no man has seen or can see ,
to whom be honor and everlasting power .
Amen .
*
Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty ,
nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God ,
who gives us richly all things to enjoy .
*
Let them do good ,
that they be rich in good works ,
ready to give ,
willing to share ,
*
storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come ,
that they may lay hold on eternal life .
*
O Timothy !
Guard what was committed to your trust ,
avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge --
*
by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith .
Grace be with you .
Amen .
