TSK · 1 Timothy 6:3

They replied,“Caesar’s.” He said to them,“Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who create dissensions and obstacles contrary to the teaching that you learned. Avoid them!

A Life Pleasing to God Finally then, brothers and sisters, we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received instruction from us about how you must live and please God(as you are in fact living) that you do so more and more.

Timothy’s Task in Ephesus As I urged you when I was leaving for Macedonia, stay on in Ephesus to instruct certain people not to spread false teachings,

sexually immoral people, practicing homosexuals, kidnappers, liars, perjurers– in fact, for any who live contrary to sound teaching.

Hold to the standard of sound words that you heard from me and do so with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

¶ Salutation From Paul, a slave of God and apostle of Jesus Christ, to further the faith of God’s chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth that is in keeping with godliness,

Conduct Consistent with Sound Teaching But as for you, communicate the behavior that goes with sound teaching.

Summary of the Letter This saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on such truths, so that those who have placed their faith in God may be intent on engaging in good works. These things are good and beneficial for all people.
