1 Timothy 6

Authored by: American Standard Version
6:1
Οσοι εισιν υπο ζυγον δουλοι τους ιδιους δεσποτας πασης τιμης αξιους ηγεισθωσαν ινα μη το ονομα του Θεου και η διδασκαλια βλασφημηται
Let as many as are servants under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine be not blasphemed.
6:2
οι δε πιστους εχοντες δεσποτας μη καταφρονειτωσαν οτι αδελφοι εισιν αλλα μαλλον δουλευετωσαν οτι πιστοι εισιν και αγαπητοι οι της ευεργεσιας αντιλαμβανομενοι Ταυτα διδασκε και παρακαλει
And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but let them serve them the rather, because they that partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. These things teach and exhort.
6:3
Ει τις ετεροδιδασκαλει και μη προσερχεται υγιαινουσιν λογοις τοις του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου και τη κατ ευσεβειαν διδασκαλια
If any man teacheth a different doctrine, and consenteth not to sound words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
6:4
τετυφωται μηδεν επισταμενος αλλα νοσων περι ζητησεις και λογομαχιας εξ ων γινεται φθονος ερις βλασφημιαι υπονοιαι πονηραι
he is puffed up, knowing nothing, but doting about questionings and disputes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
6:5
διαπαρατριβαι διεφθαρμενων ανθρωπων τον νουν και απεστερημενων της αληθειας νομιζοντων πορισμον ειναι την ευσεβειαν
wranglings of men corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth, supposing that godliness is a way of gain.
6:6
Εστιν δε πορισμος μεγας η ευσεβεια μετα αυταρκειας
But godliness with contentment is great gain:
6:7
ουδεν γαρ εισηνεγκαμεν εις τον κοσμον οτι ουδε εξενεγκειν τι δυναμεθα
for we brought nothing into the world, for neither can we carry anything out;
6:8
εχοντες δε διατροφας και σκεπασματα τουτοις αρκεσθησομεθα
but having food and covering we shall be therewith content.
6:9
Οι δε βουλομενοι πλουτειν εμπιπτουσιν εις πειρασμον και παγιδα και επιθυμιας πολλας ανοητους και βλαβερας αιτινες βυθιζουσιν τους ανθρωπους εις ολεθρον και απωλειαν
But they that are minded to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition.
6:10
ριζα γαρ παντων των κακων εστιν η φιλαργυρια ης τινες ορεγομενοι απεπλανηθησαν απο της πιστεως και εαυτους περιεπειραν οδυναις πολλαις
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

6:11
Συ δε ω ανθρωπε Θεου ταυτα φευγε διωκε δε δικαιοσυνην ευσεβειαν πιστιν αγαπην υπομονην πραυπαθιαν
But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
6:12
αγωνιζου τον καλον αγωνα της πιστεως επιλαβου της αιωνιου ζωης εις ην εκληθης και ωμολογησας την καλην ομολογιαν ενωπιον πολλων μαρτυρων
Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the life eternal, whereunto thou wast called, and didst confess the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.
6:13
Παραγγελλω σοι ενωπιον του Θεου του ζωογονουντος τα παντα και Χριστου Ιησου του μαρτυρησαντος επι Ποντιου Πιλατου την καλην ομολογιαν
I charge thee in the sight of God, who giveth life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed the good confession;
6:14
τηρησαι σε την εντολην ασπιλον ανεπιλημπτον μεχρι της επιφανειας του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου
that thou keep the commandment, without spot, without reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
6:15
ην καιροις ιδιοις δειξει ο μακαριος και μονος Δυναστης ο Βασιλευς των βασιλευοντων και Κυριος των κυριευοντων
which in its own times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
6:16
ο μονος εχων αθανασιαν φως οικων απροσιτον ον ειδεν ουδεις ανθρωπων ουδε ιδειν δυναται ω τιμη και κρατος αιωνιον αμην
who only hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power eternal. Amen.
6:17
Τοις πλουσιοις εν τω νυν αιωνι παραγγελλε μη υψηλοφρονειν μηδε ηλπικεναι επι πλουτου αδηλοτητι αλλ επι Θεω τω παρεχοντι ημιν παντα πλουσιως εις απολαυσιν
Charge them that are rich in this present world, that they be not highminded, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
6:18
αγαθοεργειν πλουτειν εν εργοις καλοις ευμεταδοτους ειναι κοινωνικους
that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
6:19
αποθησαυριζοντας εαυτοις θεμελιον καλον εις το μελλον ινα επιλαβωνται της οντως ζωης
laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life which is life indeed.
6:20
Ω Τιμοθεε την παραθηκην φυλαξον εκτρεπομενος τας βεβηλους κενοφωνιας και αντιθεσεις της ψευδωνυμου γνωσεως
O Timothy, guard that which is committed unto thee, turning away from the profane babblings and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called;
6:21
ην τινες επαγγελλομενοι περι την πιστιν ηστοχησαν Η χαρις μεθ υμων
which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you.
