AKJV (change)

1 Timothy 6

1 Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
Compare verse
2 And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brothers; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
Compare verse
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;
Compare verse
4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof comes envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
Compare verse
5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw yourself.
Compare verse
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
Compare verse
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
Compare verse
8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
11 But you, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
Compare verse
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto you are also called, and have professed a good profession before many witnesses.
Compare verse
13 I give you charge in the sight of God, who vivifies all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
Compare verse
14 That you keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Compare verse
15 Which in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
Compare verse
16 Who only has immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach to; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.
Compare verse
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 gives us richly all things to enjoy;
Compare verse
18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
Compare verse
19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
Compare verse
20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to your trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
Compare verse
21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.
