1 Timothy 6

New Century Version NCV

1 All who are slaves under a yoke should show full respect to their mas- ters so no one will speak against God's name and our teaching.

2 The slaves whose masters are believers should not show their masters any less respect because they are believers. They should serve their masters even better, because they are helping believers they love. You must teach and preach these things.

3 Anyone who has a different teaching does not agree with the true teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that shows the true way to serve God.

4 This person is full of pride and understands nothing, but is sick with a love for arguing and fighting about words. This brings jealousy, fighting, speaking against others, evil mistrust,

5 and constant quarrels from those who have evil minds and have lost the truth. They think that serving God is a way to get rich.

6 Serving God does make us very rich, if we are satisfied with what we have.

7 We brought nothing into the world, so we can take nothing out.

8 But, if we have food and clothes, we will be satisfied with that.

9 Those who want to become rich bring temptation to themselves and are caught in a trap. They want many foolish and harmful things that ruin and destroy people.

10 The love of money causes all kinds of evil. Some people have left the faith, because they wanted to get more money, but they have caused themselves much sorrow.

11 But you, man of God, run away from all those things. Instead, live in the right way, serve God, have faith, love, patience, and gentleness.

12 Fight the good fight of faith, grabbing hold of the life that continues forever. You were called to have that life when you confessed the good confession before many witnesses.

13 In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, I give you a command. Christ Jesus made the good confession when he stood before Pontius Pilate.

14 Do what you were commanded to do without wrong or blame until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.

15 God will make that happen at the right time. He is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of all kings and the Lord of all lords.

16 He is the only One who never dies. He lives in light so bright no one can go near it. No one has ever seen God, or can see him. May honor and power belong to God forever. Amen.

17 Command those who are rich with things of this world not to be proud. Tell them to hope in God, not in their uncertain riches. God richly gives us everything to enjoy.

18 Tell the rich people to do good, to be rich in doing good deeds, to be generous and ready to share.

19 By doing that, they will be saving a treasure for themselves as a strong foundation for the future. Then they will be able to have the life that is true life.

20 Timothy, guard what God has trusted to you. Stay away from foolish, useless talk and from the arguments of what is falsely called "knowledge."

21 By saying they have that "knowledge," some have missed the true faith. Grace be with you.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 quicumque sunt sub iugo servi dominos suos omni honore dignos arbitrentur ne nomen Domini et doctrina blasphemetur

2 qui autem fideles habent dominos non contemnant quia fratres sunt sed magis serviant quia fideles sunt et dilecti qui beneficii participes sunt haec doce et exhortare

3 si quis aliter docet et non adquiescit sanis sermonibus Domini nostri Iesu Christi et ei quae secundum pietatem est doctrinae

4 superbus nihil sciens sed languens circa quaestiones et pugnas verborum ex quibus oriuntur invidiae contentiones blasphemiae suspiciones malae

5 conflictationes hominum mente corruptorum et qui veritate privati sunt existimantium quaestum esse pietatem

6 est autem quaestus magnus pietas cum sufficientia

7 nihil enim intulimus in mundum haut dubium quia nec auferre quid possumus

8 habentes autem alimenta et quibus tegamur his contenti sumus

9 nam qui volunt divites fieri incidunt in temptationem et laqueum et desideria multa inutilia et nociva quae mergunt homines in interitum et perditionem

10 radix enim omnium malorum est cupiditas quam quidam appetentes erraverunt a fide et inseruerunt se doloribus multis

11 tu autem o homo Dei haec fuge sectare vero iustitiam pietatem fidem caritatem patientiam mansuetudinem

12 certa bonum certamen fidei adprehende vitam aeternam in qua vocatus es et confessus bonam confessionem coram multis testibus

13 praecipio tibi coram Deo qui vivificat omnia et Christo Iesu qui testimonium reddidit sub Pontio Pilato bonam confessionem

14 ut serves mandatum sine macula inreprehensibile usque in adventum Domini nostri Iesu Christi

15 quem suis temporibus ostendet beatus et solus potens rex regum et Dominus dominantium

16 qui solus habet inmortalitatem lucem habitans inaccessibilem quem vidit nullus hominum sed nec videre potest cui honor et imperium sempiternum amen

17 divitibus huius saeculi praecipe non sublime sapere neque sperare in incerto divitiarum sed in Deo qui praestat nobis omnia abunde ad fruendum

18 bene agere divites fieri in operibus bonis facile tribuere communicare

19 thesaurizare sibi fundamentum bonum in futurum ut adprehendant veram vitam

20 o Timothee depositum custodi devitans profanas vocum novitates et oppositiones falsi nominis scientiae

21 quam quidam promittentes circa fidem exciderunt gratia tecum
