18
For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And,
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.
CHAPTER TIMOTHY 6
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
