The labourer is worthy of his reward.
[19] Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two
or three witnesses.
[20] Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
[21] I charge thee
before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without
preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.
[22] Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither
be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.
[23] Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for
thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.
[24] Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before
to judgment; and some men they follow after.
[25] Likewise also the good works of some are manifest
beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
1Tim.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.
[2] And they that have believing masters, let them
not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and
beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
[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;
[4] He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of
words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
[5] Perverse disputings of men of corrupt
minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
[6] But
godliness with contentment is great gain.
[7] For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we
can carry nothing out.
[8] And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
[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.
[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.
[11] But thou, O man
of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
[12]
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed
a good profession before many witnesses.
[13] I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all
things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
[14] That thou
keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
[15]
Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord
of lords;
[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.
[17] Charge them that
are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God,
who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
[18] That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to
distribute, willing to communicate;
[19] Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the
time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
[20] O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy
trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
[21] Which some
professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
