[3] teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, 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 godliness: from such withdraw thyself. [6] But godliness with contentment great gain. [7] For we brought nothing into this world, we can nothing out. [8] And having food and raiment 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 the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and themselves through with many sorrows. [11] But thou, O man of God, flee and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, [12] Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. [13] charge in the sight of God, who all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; [14] keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing 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 nor can to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. [17] Charge them that are rich in this world, not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in God, who giveth richly all things to enjoy; [18] That they do good, that they be rich in good works, willing to communicate; [19] Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on life. [20] O Timothy, keep avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: [21] Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with Amen.
