1 Timothy 6

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.

 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 there with 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, where unto 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 high minded, 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.

2 Timothy 4

 1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge   the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort   with all long suffering and doctrine.

 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after   their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto   fables.

 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist,  make full proof of thy ministry.

 6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

 7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord,    the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all   them also that love his appearing.

 9 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:

 10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.

 11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.

 12 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.

 13 The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee,  and the books, but especially the parchments.

 14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:

 15 Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.

 16 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God   that it may not be laid to their charge.

 17 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me  the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I  was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

 18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work,and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

 19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.

 20 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.

 21 Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens,   and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.

 22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
