nsb - 1Timothy:6

nsb@1Timothy:6:1 @ 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.

nsb@1Timothy:6:2 @ 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.

nsb@1Timothy:6:3 @ 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,

nsb@1Timothy:6:4 @ he is proud, knows nothing, has a morbid interest in questions and disputes about words, which leads to envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions,

nsb@1Timothy:6:5 @ frictions between men corrupted in mind and lacking in truth, supposing that godliness is a way of gain.

nsb@1Timothy:6:6 @ Godliness with contentment is great gain.

nsb@1Timothy:6:7 @ We brought nothing into the world and we can carry nothing out.

nsb@1Timothy:6:8 @ We should be content with having food and covering.

nsb@1Timothy:6:9 @ 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.

nsb@1Timothy:6:10 @ 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.

nsb@1Timothy:6:11 @ But you, O man of God, run from these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience and meekness.

nsb@1Timothy:6:12 @ 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.

nsb@1Timothy:6:13 @ 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:

nsb@1Timothy:6:14 @ Keep the commandment without spot and without reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nsb@1Timothy:6:15 @ 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.

nsb@1Timothy:6:16 @ 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.

nsb@1Timothy:6:17 @ 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.

nsb@1Timothy:6:18 @ They should do good works and be rich in good works, that they are ready to distribute, willing to communicate.

nsb@1Timothy:6:19 @ 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.

nsb@1Timothy:6:20 @ 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.«

nsb@1Timothy:6:21 @ Some have professed this knowledge and erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you.
