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.
1 Ὅσοι εἰσὶν ὑπὸ ζυγὸν δοῦλοι, τοὺς ἰδίους δεσπότας πάσης τιμῆς ἀξίους ἡγείσθωσαν, ἵνα μὴ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἡ διδασκαλία βλασφημῆται.
2 And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren
ℵ omit
; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
2 Οἱ δὲ πιστοὺς ἔχοντες δεσπότας μὴ καταφρονείτωσαν, ὅτι ἀδελφοί εἰσιν· ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον δουλευέτωσαν, ὅτι πιστοί εἰσιν καὶ ἀγαπητοὶ οἱ τῆς εὐεργεσίας ἀντιλαμβανόμενοι. Ταῦτα δίδασκε καὶ παρακάλει.
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;
3 Εἴ τις ἑτεροδιδασκαλεῖ, καὶ μὴ προσέρχεται ὑγιαίνουσιν
WH ὑγιαίνουσι
 λόγοις, τοῖς τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ, καὶ τῇ κατ’ εὐσέβειαν διδασκαλίᾳ,
4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
4 τετύφωται, μηδὲν ἐπιστάμενος, ἀλλὰ νοσῶν περὶ ζητήσεις καὶ λογομαχίας, ἐξ ὧν γίνεται φθόνος, ἔρις, βλασφημίαι, ὑπόνοιαι πονηραί,
5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself
ℵA omit
.
5 διαπαρατριβαὶ διεφθαρμένων ἀνθρώπων τὸν νοῦν, καὶ ἀπεστερημένων τῆς ἀληθείας, νομιζόντων πορισμὸν εἶναι τὴν εὐσέβειαν. Ἀφίστασο ἀπὸ τῶν τοιούτων.
WH omit
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
6 Ἔστιν δὲ πορισμὸς μέγας ἡ εὐσέβεια μετὰ αὐταρκείας·
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain
ℵA ⟨because⟩
 we can carry nothing out.
7 οὐδὲν γὰρ εἰσηνέγκαμεν εἰς τὸν κόσμον, δῆλον
WH omit
 ὅτι οὐδὲ ἐξενεγκεῖν τι δυνάμεθα·
8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
8 ἔχοντες δὲ διατροφὰς καὶ σκεπάσματα τούτοις ἀρκεσθησόμεθα.
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.
9 Οἱ δὲ βουλόμενοι πλουτεῖν ἐμπίπτουσιν εἰς πειρασμὸν καὶ παγίδα καὶ ἐπιθυμίας πολλὰς ἀνοήτους καὶ βλαβεράς, αἵτινες βυθίζουσιν
WH βυθίζουσι
 τοὺς ἀνθρώπους εἰς ὄλεθρον καὶ ἀπώλειαν.
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
ℵ ⟨divers⟩
 sorrows.
10 Ῥίζα γὰρ πάντων τῶν κακῶν ἐστὶν ἡ φιλαργυρία· ἧς τινὲς ὀρεγόμενοι ἀπεπλανήθησαν ἀπὸ τῆς πίστεως, καὶ ἑαυτοὺς περιέπειραν ὀδύναις πολλαῖς.
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness,
ℵ omit
 faith, love, patience, meekness.
11 Σὺ δέ, ὦ ἄνθρωπε τοῦ
WH omit
 θεοῦ, ταῦτα φεῦγε· δίωκε δὲ δικαιοσύνην, εὐσέβειαν, πίστιν, ἀγάπην, ὑπομονήν, πρᾳότητα
WH πραϋπαθίαν
.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also
ℵA omit
 called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
12 Ἀγωνίζου τὸν καλὸν ἀγῶνα τῆς πίστεως, ἐπιλαβοῦ τῆς αἰωνίου ζωῆς, εἰς ἣν ἐκλήθης, καὶ ὡμολόγησας τὴν καλὴν ὁμολογίαν ἐνώπιον πολλῶν μαρτύρων.
13 I give thee
ℵ omit
 charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus
ℵ ⟨Jesus Christ⟩
, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
13 Παραγγέλλω σοι ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ζῳοποιοῦντος
WH ζωογονοῦντος
 τὰ πάντα, καὶ χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ μαρτυρήσαντος ἐπὶ Ποντίου Πιλάτου
WH Πειλάτου
 τὴν καλὴν ὁμολογίαν,
14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ
ℵ ⟨Christ Jesus⟩
:
14 τηρῆσαί σε τὴν ἐντολὴν ἄσπιλον, ἀνεπίληπτον,
WH ἀνεπίλημπτον
 μέχρι τῆς ἐπιφανείας τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ,
15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
15 ἣν καιροῖς ἰδίοις δείξει ὁ μακάριος καὶ μόνος δυνάστης, ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν βασιλευόντων, καὶ κύριος τῶν κυριευόντων,
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.
16 ὁ μόνος ἔχων ἀθανασίαν, φῶς οἰκῶν ἀπρόσιτον, ὃν εἶδεν οὐδεὶς ἀνθρώπων, οὐδὲ ἰδεῖν δύναται· ᾧ τιμὴ καὶ κράτος αἰώνιον. Ἀμήν.
17 Charge them that are rich in this world
ℵ ⟨the present time⟩
, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living
ℵA omit
 God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
17 Τοῖς πλουσίοις ἐν τῷ νῦν αἰῶνι παράγγελλε, μὴ ὑψηλοφρονεῖν, μηδὲ ἠλπικέναι ἐπὶ πλούτου ἀδηλότητι, ἀλλ’ ἐν τῷ
WH ἐπὶ
 θεῷ τῷ ζῶντι,
WH omit
 τῷ παρέχοντι ἡμῖν πάντα πλουσίως εἰς ἀπόλαυσιν·
18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
18 ἀγαθοεργεῖν, πλουτεῖν ἐν ἔργοις καλοῖς, εὐμεταδότους εἶναι, κοινωνικούς,
19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life
ℵA ⟨life indeed⟩
.
19 ἀποθησαυρίζοντας ἑαυτοῖς θεμέλιον καλὸν εἰς τὸ μέλλον, ἵνα ἐπιλάβωνται τῆς αἰωνίου
WH ὄντως
 ζωῆς.
20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
20 Ὦ Τιμόθεε, τὴν παραθήκην φύλαξον, ἐκτρεπόμενος τὰς βεβήλους κενοφωνίας καὶ ἀντιθέσεις τῆς ψευδωνύμου γνώσεως·
21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee
ℵA ⟨you⟩
. Amen.
ℵA omit
21 ἥν τινες ἐπαγγελλόμενοι περὶ τὴν πίστιν ἠστόχησαν. ¶ Ἡ χάρις μετὰ σοῦ. Ἀμήν
WH μεθ’ ὑμῶν
