1Timothy:6

* Let as many as are servants under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor , that the name of God and the teachings will not be blasphemed . * Do not despise your believing masters , because they are brothers . Serve them , because they who partake of the benefit are believing and beloved . Teach and exhort these things . * If any man teaches a different doctrine , and does not consent to sound words , even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ , and to the doctrine that is according to godliness , * he is proud , knows nothing , has a morbid interest in questions and disputes about words , which leads to envy , strife , abusive language , evil suspicions , * frictions between men corrupted in mind and lacking in truth , supposing that godliness is a way of gain . * Godliness with contentment is great gain . * We brought nothing into the world and we can carry nothing out . * We should be content with having food and covering . * Those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts . These draw men into ruin and destruction . * For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil . Some by longing for it have been led away from the faith . They have pierced themselves through with many sorrows . * But you , O man of God , run from these things . Pursue righteousness , godliness , faith , love , patience and meekness . * Fight the good fight of the faith ! Lay hold on everlasting life ! You were called and confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses . * I charge you in the sight of God , who gives life to all things , and of Christ Jesus , who before Pontius Pilate witnessed the good confession : * Keep the commandment without spot and without reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ . * The blessed and only Potentate will make him appear in his own appointed time . For he is the King of kings and Lord of lords . * Only God has immortality , dwelling in unapproachable light . No man has seen him , nor can see him . To him be honor and power forever . Amen . * Command those who are rich in this present system not to be high-minded , not to have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches , but on God , who gives us richly all things to enjoy . * They should do good works and be rich in good works , that they are ready to distribute , willing to communicate . * They store up for them a good foundation for the time to come , that they may lay hold on the life that is life indeed . * O Timothy , guard that which is committed to you . Turn away from the empty speeches that violate what is holy and from opposition and from false »knowledge .« * Some have professed this knowledge and erred concerning the faith . Grace be with you .
