1 Timothy 6 📜 📕 ↷

Reject False Doctrines

3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to the sound words of our Lord JESUS Christ, and to that doctrine which is according to piety,📜💬📚

4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but languishing about questions and strife of words: of which rise envies, contentions, blasphemies, evil suspicions,📜💬📚

10 For the root of all evils is covetousness; which certain desiring have erred from the faith, and have entangled themselves in many sorrows.📜💬📚

Fight the Good Fight

11 But thou, o man of God, fly these things; and pursue justice, piety, faith, charity, patience, mildness.📜💬📚

12 Fight the good fight of faith: apprehend eternal life, wherein thou art called and hast confessed a good confession before many witnesses.📜💬📚

13 I command thee before God who quickeneth all things, and Christ JESUS who gave testimony under Pontius Pilate a good confession,📜💬📚

14 that thou keep the commandment without spot, blameless unto the coming of our Lord JESUS Christ.📜💬📚

A Charge to the Rich

17 Command the rich of this world not to be high minded, nor to trust in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God (who giveth us all things aboundantly to enjoy)📜💬📚

18 to do well, to become rich in good works, to give easily, to communicate,📜💬📚

19 to heap unto themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may apprehend the true life.📜💬📚

Guard the Faith

20 O Timothee, keep the depositum, avoiding the profane novelties of voices, and oppositions of falsely called knowledge.📜💬📚

21 Which certain promising, have erred about the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.📜💬📚
