1Timothy:6:11-21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But you ,
man of God ,
flee from all this ,
and pursue righteousness ,
godliness ,
faith ,
love ,
endurance and gentleness .
*
Fight the good fight of the faith ;
take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses .
*
I charge you in the presence of God ,
who gives life to all things ,
and of Christ Jesus ,
who made the good confession before Pontius Pilate ,
*
to keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
*
which he will bring about at the proper time
he who is the blessed and only Sovereign ,
the King of kings and Lord of lords ,
*
who alone has immortality and dwells in unapproachable light ,
whom no man has ever seen or can see .
To him be honor and eternal dominion .
Amen .
*
Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches ,
but on God ,
who richly supplies us with everything to enjoy .
*
Instruct them to do good ,
to be rich in good deeds ,
to be generous and ready to share ,
*
storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future ,
so that they may take hold of that life which is life indeed .
*
O Timothy ,
guard what has been entrusted to you .
Avoid godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge ,
*
which some have professed and in so doing have wandered from the faith .
