* Let as many servants as are (5748 ) under the yoke count (5737 ) their own masters worthy of all honour , that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed (5747 ). * And they that have (5723 ) believing masters , let them not despise (5720 ) them , because they are (5748 ) brethren ; but rather do them service (5720 ), because they are (5748 ) faithful and beloved , partakers (5740 ) of the benefit . These things teach (5720 ) and exhort (5720 ). * If any man teach otherwise (5719 ), and consent (5736 ) not to wholesome (5723 ) words , even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ , and to the doctrine which is according to godliness ; * He is proud (5769 ), knowing (5740 ) nothing , but doting (5723 ) about questions and strifes of words , whereof cometh (5736 ) envy , strife , railings , evil surmisings , * Perverse disputings of men of corrupt (5772 ) minds , and destitute (5772 ) of the truth , supposing (5723 ) that gain is (5750 ) godliness : from such withdraw thyself (5737 ). * But godliness with contentment is (5748 ) great gain . * For we brought (5656 ) nothing into this world , and it is certain we can (5736 ) carry nothing out (5629 ). * And having (5723 ) food and raiment let us be therewith content (5701 ). * But they that will (5740 ) be rich (5721 ) fall (5719 ) into temptation and a snare , and into many foolish and hurtful lusts , which drown (5719 ) men in destruction and perdition . * For the love of money is (5748 ) the root of all evil : which while some coveted after (5734 ), they have erred (5681 ) from the faith , and pierced themselves through (5656 ) with many sorrows . * But thou , O man of God , flee (5720 ) these things ; and follow after (5720 ) righteousness , godliness , faith , love , patience , meekness . * Fight (5737 ) the good fight of faith , lay hold on (5634 ) eternal life , whereunto thou art also called (5681 ), and hast professed (5656 ) a good profession before many witnesses . * I give thee charge (5719 ) in the sight of God , who quickeneth (5723 ) all things , and before Christ Jesus , who before Pontius Pilate witnessed (5660 ) a good confession ; * That thou keep (5658 ) this commandment without spot , unrebukeable , until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ : * Which in his times he shall shew (5692 ), who is the blessed and only Potentate , the King of kings (5723 ), and Lord of lords (5723 ); * Who only hath (5723 ) immortality , dwelling (5723 ) in the light which no man can approach unto ; whom no man hath seen (5627 ), nor can (5736 ) see (5629 ): to whom be honour and power everlasting . Amen . * Charge (5720 ) them that are rich in this world , that they be not highminded (5721 ), nor trust (5760 ) in uncertain riches , but in the living (5723 ) God , who giveth (5723 ) us richly all things to enjoy ; * That they do good (5721 ), that they be rich (5721 ) in good works , ready to distribute (5750 ), willing to communicate ; * Laying up in store (5723 ) for themselves a good foundation against the time to come (5723 ), that they may lay hold on (5638 ) eternal life . * O Timothy , keep (5657 ) that which is committed to thy trust , avoiding (5734 ) profane and vain babblings , and oppositions of science falsely so called : * Which some professing (5740 ) have erred (5656 ) concerning the faith . Grace be with thee . Amen .The first to Timothy was written (5648 ) from Laodicea , which is (5748 ) the chiefest city of Phrygia Pacatiana .#
