1Timothy 6:6-8 - Prayer Tents

1Timothy 6

6Let all who are under a yoke as slaves regard their own masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be reviled.G1526G3745G1401G3745G1526G5259G2218G2233G2398G1203G514G3956G5092G3363G3686G2316G2532G1319G987G3363G987

False Teachers and True Contentment

2Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful on the ground that they are brothers; rather they must serve all the better since those who benefit by their good service are believers and beloved. Teach and urge these things.G1161G2192G4103G1203G2706G3361G2706G3754G1526G80G235G3123G1398G3754G1526G4103G2532G27G482G2108G5023G1321G2532G38703If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness,G1536G2085G2532G4334G3361G5198G3056G2257G2962G2424G5547G2532G1319G2596G21504he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions,G5187G1987G3367G235G3552G4012G2214G2532G3055G1537G3739G1096G5355G2054G988G4190G52835and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain.G3859G444G1311G3563G2532G650G225G3543G4200G1511G2150G575G5108G8686Now there is great gain in godliness with contentment,G1161G2150G3326G841G2076G3173G42007for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world.G1063G1533G3762G1519G2889G1212G3754G1410G1627G3761G5100G16278But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content.G1161G2192G1305G2532G4629G714G5125G7149But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.G1161G1014G4147G1706G1519G3986G2532G3803G2532G4183G453G2532G983G1939G3748G1036G444G1519G3639G2532G68410For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.G1063G5365G2076G4491G3956G2556G3739G5100G3713G635G575G4102G2532G4044G1438G4044G4183G3601

Fight the Good Fight of Faith

11But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.G1161G4771G5599G444G2316G5343G5023G1161G1377G1343G2150G4102G26G5281G423612Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.G75G2570G73G4102G1949G166G2222G1519G3739G2564G2532G2564G2532G3670G2570G3671G1799G4183G314413I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who in his testimony before Pontius Pilate made the good confession,G3853G4671G3853G1799G2316G3588G2227G3956G2532G5547G2424G3588G1909G4194G4091G3140G2570G367114to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,G4571G5083G1785G784G423G3360G2015G2257G2962G2424G554715which he will display at the proper time—he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords,G3739G2398G2540G1166G3588G3107G2532G3441G1413G935G936G2532G2962G296116who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.G3588G3441G2192G110G3611G5457G3762G676G3739G444G1492G3761G1410G1492G3739G5092G2532G2904G166G28117As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy.G3853G4145G1722G3568G165G5309G3361G5309G3366G1679G1909G83G4149G235G1722G2198G2316G3588G3930G2254G4146G3956G1519G61918They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share,G14G4147G1722G2570G2041G1511G2130G284319thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.G597G1438G2570G2310G1519G3195G2443G1949G166G222220O Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted to you. Avoid the irreverent babble and contradictions of what is falsely called "knowledge,"G5599G5095G5442G3872G1624G952G2757G2532G477G1108G558121for by professing it some have swerved from the faith. Grace be with you.G3739G5100G1861G795G4012G4102G5485G3326G4675G281
