take a little wine for the sake of your
digestion and your frequent ailments.) 005:024 The sins of some men
are evident to the world, leading the way to your estimate of their
characters, but the sins of others lag behind. 005:025 So also the right
actions of some are evident to the world, and those that are not cannot
remain for ever out of sight. 006:001 Let all who are under the yoke of
slavery hold their own masters to be deserving of honour, so that the
name of God and the Christian teaching may not be spoken against.
006:002 And those who have believing masters should not be wanting
in respect towards them because they are their brethren, but should
serve them all the more willingly because those who profit by the
faithful service rendered are believers and are friends. 006:003 So teach
and exhort. If any one is a teacher of any other kind of doctrine, and
refuses assent to wholesome instructions-- those of our Lord Jesus
Christ--and the teaching that harmonizes with true godliness, 006:004
he is puffed up with pride and has no true knowledge, but is crazy over
discussions and controversies about words which give rise to envy,
quarrelling, revilings, ill-natured suspicions, 006:005 and persistent
wranglings on the part of people whose intellects are disordered and
they themselves blinded to all knowledge of the truth; who imagine that
godliness means gain. 006:006 And godliness *is* gain, when
associated with contentment; 006:007 for we brought nothing into the
world, nor can we carry anything out of it; 006:008 and if we have food
and clothing, with these we will be satisfied. 006:009 But people who
are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into
many unwise and pernicious ways which sink mankind in destruction
and ruin. 006:010 For from love of money all sorts of evils arise; and
some have so hankered after money as to be led astray from the faith
and be pierced through with countless sorrows. 006:011 But you, O
man of God, must flee from these things; and strive for uprightness,
godliness, good faith, love, fortitude, and a forgiving temper. 006:012
Exert all your strength in the honourable struggle for the faith; lay hold
of the Life of the Ages, to which you were called, when you made your
noble profession of faith before many witnesses. 006:013 I charge
you--as in the presence of God who gives life to all creatures, and of

Christ Jesus who at the bar of Pontius Pilate made a noble profession of
faith-- 006:014 that you keep God's commandments stainlessly and
without reproach till the Appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. 006:015
For, as its appointed time, this will be brought about by the blessed and
only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 006:016 who
alone possesses immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, and
whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be eternal honour and
power! Amen. 006:017 Impress on those who are rich in the present
age that they must not be haughty nor set their hopes on riches-- that
unstable foundation--but on God who provides us richly with all things
for our enjoyment. 006:018 They must be beneficent, rich in noble
deeds, open-handed and liberal; 006:019 storing up for themselves that
which shall be a solid foundation for the future, that they may lay hold
of the Life which is life indeed. 006:020 O Timothy, guard the truths
entrusted to you, shunning irreligious and frivolous talk, and
controversy with what is falsely called `knowledge'; 006:021 of which
some have spoken boastfully in connexion with the true faith, and have
erred. Grace be with you all.
