1 Timothy 6
Tyndale New Testament
1Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God, and his doctrine be not evil spoken of. 2See that they which have believing masters despise them not because they are brethren: but so much the rather do service, for as much as they are believing and beloved and part takers of the benefite. These things teach and exhort.

3If any man teach otherwise, and is not content with the wholesome words of our Lord Iesu Christ, and with the doctrine of godliness, 4he is puffed up and knoweth nothing: but wasteth his brains about questions, and strife of words, whereof spring envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings 5superfluous disputings in scowls of men with corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, which think that lucre is godliness. From such separate thyself. 6Godliness is great riches, if a man be content with that he hath. 7For we brought nothing into the world, and it is a plain case that we can carry nothing out. 8When we have food and raiment, let us therewith be content. 9They that will be rich, fall into temptation and snares, and into many foolish and noisome lusts, which drown men in perdition, and destruction. 10For covetousness is the root of all evil, which while some lusted after, they erred from the faith, and tangled themselves with many sorrows.

11But thou which art the man of God, fly such things. Follow righteousness, godliness, love, patience, meekness. 12Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hand on eternal life, whereunto thou art called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 13I give thee charge in the sight of God, which quickeneth all things, and before Iesus Christ, which under Pontius Pilate witnessed a good witnessing, 14that thou keep the commandment without spot, so that no man find fault with thee, until the appearing of our Lord Iesus Christ, 15which appearing (when the time is come) he shall shew that is blessed and mighty only, king of kings, and Lord of lords, 16which only hath immortality, and dwelleth in light that no man can obtain, whom never man saw, neither can see: unto whom be honour and rule everlasting Amen.

17Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not exceeding wise, and that they trust not in the uncertain riches, but in the living God, which giveth us abundantly all things to enjoy them, 18and that they do good and be rich in good works, and ready to give and to distribute, 19laying up in store for themselves, a good foundation against the time to come, that they may obtain eternal life.

20O Timothy save that which is given thee to keep, and avoid unghostly vanities of voices, and oppositions of science falsely so called, 21which science, while some professed, they have erred as concerning the faith. Grace be with thee Amen.
