1 Timothy 6:1-21
1 Let as many servants as are under the
yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine
be not blasphemed. 2 And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them,
because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful
and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
No matter
who you are, what you have done, what you look like, how you are dressed, whether you are clean or
filthy, or how many problems you seem to have; I will always love you and share with you, some of
the love that I have in my heart. I will always be ready to show you the affection I have to
give! Do You need Proof I'm Your Friend? Oh, How Wise The Lord is, to have placed such qualities
in what we call our best friend. Never again shall I fail to consider ~ that name ~ to
be a reminder of what You have purposed, and what I should hope to become! |

3 If any man teach
otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which
is according to godliness; 4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and
strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 Perverse
disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is
godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
6 But godliness with contentment is great
gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can
carry nothing out. 8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 9 But they
that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and
hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is
the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and
pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 11 But thou, O man of God, flee these
things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 12
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called,
and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
13 I give thee charge in the sight of God,
who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate
witnessed a good confession; 14 That thou keep this commandment without spot,
unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only
Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in
the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be
honour and power everlasting. Amen. 17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that
they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth
us richly all things to enjoy; 18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works,
ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19 Laying up in store for themselves a good
foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. 20 O Timothy,
keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and
oppositions of science falsely so called: 21 Which some professing have erred concerning
the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
The first to Timothy was written from
Laodicea, which is the chiefest city of Phrygia Pacatiana.
