American Standard Version
All
who
are under the yoke of
slavery
should
regard
their masters as
fully
worthy of honor, so
that God’s
name and our
teaching
will
not
be discredited
.
Let
as
many
as
are servants
under the yoke count
their own
masters worthy of all
honor, that the
name of
God
and the
doctrine
be not
blasphemed
.
Those
who
have believing masters should
not show
disrespect
because they are brothers,
but should
serve them all
the more
, since
those
receiving
their
good
service
are beloved believers
. Teach and encourage
these
principles
.
And
they
that
have believing masters ,
let
them
not despise
them,
because they are brethren;
but let
them
serve them the rather
, because
they
that
partake
of
the
benefit
are believing
and
beloved. These
things
teach and exhort
.

teaches
another
doctrine and disagrees
with
the
sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and
with
godly
teaching
,

man
teacheth
a
different
doctrine ,
and consenteth
not
to
sound words ,
`even'
the
words
of our Lord Jesus Christ, and
to
the
doctrine
which
is
according
to
godliness;
he is conceited
and
understands
nothing .
Instead
, he
has
an
unhealthy
interest
in
controversies
and semantics,
out
of which
come
envy, strife, abusive
talk
, evil suspicions
,
he is puffed
up,
knowing
nothing, but
doting
about
questionings
and disputes
of words,
whereof
cometh
envy, strife, railings
, evil surmisings
,
and
constant
friction
between
men
of depraved
mind who
are
devoid
of the truth .
These
men
regard
godliness as
a means
of gain.
wranglings
of men
corrupted
in
mind and
bereft
of the truth ,
supposing
that
godliness is
a way
of gain.
Of
course,
godliness with contentment is great gain .
But
godliness with contentment is great gain :
For we brought nothing into the world, so
we cannot
carry anything out of
it.
for we brought nothing into the world, for
neither
can
we carry anything out ;
But if
we
have
food and clothing,
we will
be content with
these
.
but having
food and covering
we shall
be therewith
content.
Those
who
want
to be rich ,
however,
fall into temptation and become
ensnared
by
many foolish and harmful
desires
that
plunge
them
into
ruin
and
destruction.
But
they
that
are
minded
to be rich fall into a
temptation and a
snare
and
many foolish and hurtful
lusts,
such
as
drown
men
in
destruction and
perdition
.
For the love of money is the
root of all kinds of evil .
By
craving
it,
some have wandered
away
from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.
For the love of money is a
root of all kinds of evil :
which
some reaching
after
have been
led

from the faith ,
and have

with many sorrows.
But you
, O man of God, flee from
these things and pursue
righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance
, and
gentleness
.
But thou
, O man of God, flee these things ;
and follow
after
righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience
, meekness
.
Fight the good fight of the faith .
Take
hold of
the eternal
life to
which
you
were
called when
you
made
the good confession before
many witnesses.

in the sight
of God, who giveth
life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed
the
good
confession;
Keep this
commandment without stain
or
reproach until the appearance
of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
that
thou
keep the
commandment ,
without spot,
without
reproach ,
until the appearing
of our Lord Jesus Christ :
which the blessed and only Sovereign
One—
the King of kings and Lord of lords —will
bring
about
in
His
own
time.

its
own
times

shall
show,
who

the blessed and only Potentate,
the King of kings ,
and Lord of lords ;
He
alone
is
immortal
and
dwells
in unapproachable
light .
No one
has
ever
seen Him
, nor can anyone
see Him.
To Him
be honor and eternal dominion!
Amen.

only
hath
immortality,
dwelling
in light unapproachable;

all things for
us
to enjoy .

that
which is truly

and
the opposing
arguments
of so -

which
is
committed
unto
`thee'
, turning
away
from
the profane
babblings

is
falsely
so called ;
which some have professed
and
thus
swerved
away
from
the faith. Grace be with you all
.
