1 L etG2233 as manyG3745 asG3745 areG1526 servantsG1401 underG5259 the yokeG2218 countG2233 their ownG2398 mastersG1203 worthyG514 of allG3956 honor,G5092 thatG2443 the nameG3686 of GodG2316 andG2532 the doctrineG1319 beG987 notG3361 blasphemed.G987
2 AndG1161 they that haveG2192 believingG4103 masters,G1203 let themG2706 notG3361 despiseG2706 them, becauseG3754 they areG1526 brethren;G80 butG235 letG1398 them serveG1398 them the rather,G3123 becauseG3754 they that partakeG482 of the benefitG2108 areG1526 believingG4103 andG2532 beloved.G27 These thingsG5023 teachG1321 andG2532 exhort.G3870
3 IfG1487 any manG5100 teacheth a differentG2085 doctrine, andG2532 consentethG4334 notG3361 to soundG5198 words,G3056 [even] theG3588 words of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 Christ,G5547 andG2532 to the doctrineG1319 which is according toG2596 godliness;G2150
4 he is puffedG5187 up, knowingG1987 nothing,G3367 butG235 dotingG3552 aboutG4012 questioningsG2214 andG2532 disputes of words,G3055 whereofG3739 G1537 comethG1096 envy,G5355 strife,G2054 railings,G988 evilG4190 surmisings,G5283
5 wranglingsG3859 of menG444 corruptedG1311 in mindG3563 andG2532 bereftG650 of the truth,G225 supposing thatG3543 godlinessG2150 isG1511 a way of gain.G4200
6 ButG1161 godlinessG2150 withG3326 contentmentG841 isG2076 greatG3173 gain:G4200
7 forG1063 we broughtG1533 nothingG3762 intoG1519 the world,G2889 for neitherG1212 canG1410 we carryG1627 G3761 anythingG5100 out;G1627
8 butG1161 havingG2192 foodG1305 andG2532 coveringG4629 we shall beG714 therewithG5125 content.G714
9 ButG1161 they that are mindedG1014 to be richG4147 fallG1706 intoG1519 a temptationG3986 andG2532 a snareG3803 andG2532 manyG4183 foolishG453 andG2532 hurtfulG983 lusts,G1939 such asG3748 drownG1036 menG444 inG1519 destructionG3639 andG2532 perdition.G684
10 ForG1063 the love of moneyG5365 isG2076 a rootG4491 of allG3956 kinds of evil:G2556 whichG3739 G3713 someG5100 reaching afterG3713 have been led astrayG635 fromG575 the faith,G4102 andG2532 have piercedG4044 themselvesG1438 throughG4044 with manyG4183 sorrows.G3601
11 ButG1161 thou,G4771 OG5599 manG444 of God,G2316 fleeG5343 these things;G5023 andG1161 follow afterG1377 righteousness,G1343 godliness,G2150 faith,G4102 love,G26 patience,G5281 meekness.G4236
12 FightG75 the goodG2570 fightG73 of the faith,G4102 lay hold onG1949 the lifeG2222 eternal,G166 whereuntoG1519 G1519 thou wastG2564 G2532 called,G2564 andG2532 didst confessG3670 the goodG2570 confessionG3671 in the sightG1799 of manyG4183 witnesses.G3144
13 I G3853 chargeG3853 theeG4671 in the sight ofG1799 God,G2316 who giveth lifeG2227 to all things,G3956 andG2532 of ChristG5547 Jesus,G2424 whoG3140 beforeG1909 PontiusG4194 PilateG4091 witnessedG3140 the goodG2570 confession;G3671
14 thatG5083 thouG4571 keepG5083 the commandment,G1785 without spot,G784 without reproach,G423 untilG3360 the appearingG2015 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 Christ:G5547
15 whichG3739 in itsG2398 own timesG2540 he shall show,G1166 who is the blessedG3107 andG2532 onlyG3441 Potentate,G1413 the KingG935 of kings,G936 andG2532 LordG2962 of lords;G2961
16 whoG2192 onlyG3441 hathG2192 immortality,G110 dwelling inG3611 lightG5457 unapproachable; whomG3739 noG3762 manG444 hath seen,G1492 norG3761 canG1410 see:G1492 toG676 whomG3739 [be] honorG5092 andG2532 powerG2904 eternal.G166 Amen.G281
17 ChargeG3853 them that are richG4145 inG1722 thisG3568 present world,G165 that they beG5309 notG3361 highminded,G5309 norG3366 have their hopeG1679 set onG1909 the uncertaintyG83 of riches,G4149 butG235 onG1722 G2198 God,G2316 who givethG3930 usG2254 richlyG4146 all thingsG3956 toG1519 enjoy;G619
18 that they do good,G14 that they be richG4147 inG1722 goodG2570 works,G2041 that they be ready to distribute,G2130 willing to communicate;G2843
19 laying up in storeG597 for themselvesG1438 a goodG2570 foundationG2310 againstG1519 the time to come,G3195 thatG2443 they may lay hold onG1949 the lifeG2222 which is [life]G2222 indeed.
20 OG5599 Timothy,G5095 guardG5442 that which is committed unto [thee],G3872 turningG1624 away from the profaneG952 babblingsG2757 andG2532 oppositionsG477 of the knowledgeG1108 which is falsely so called;G5581
21 whichG3739 someG5100 professingG1861 have erredG795 concerningG4012 the faith.G4102 GraceG5485 be withG3326 you.G4675 Amen.G281
