1 Let as many3745 servants1401 as are1526 under5259 the yoke2218 count2233 their own2398 masters1203 worthy514 of all3956 honor,5092 that2443 the3588 name3686 of God2316 and2532 his doctrine1319 be not3361 blasphemed.987
2 And1161 they that have2192 believing4103 masters,1203 let them not3361 despise2706 them, because3754 they are1526 brethren;80 but235 rather3123 do them service,1398 because3754 they are1526 faithful4103 and2532 beloved,27 partakers482 of the3588 benefit.2108 These things5023 teach1321 and2532 exhort.3870
3 If any man1536 teach otherwise,2085 and2532 consent4334 not3361 to wholesome5198 words,3056 even the words3588 of our2257 Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ,5547 and2532 to the3588 doctrine1319 which is according2596 to godliness;2150
4 He is proud,5187 knowing1987 nothing,3367 but235 doting3552 about4012 questions2214 and2532 strifes of words,3055 wher1537 3739 cometh1096 envy,5355 strife,2054 railings,988 evil4190 surmisings.5283
5 Perverse disputings3859 of men444 of corrupt1311 minds,3563 and2532 destitute650 of the3588 truth,225 supposing3543 that gain4200 is1511 godliness:2150 from575 such5108 withdraw thyself.868
7 For1063 we brought1533 nothing3762 into1519 this world,2889 and it is certain1212 3754 we3761 can1410 carry nothing out.1627 5100
8 And1161 having2192 food1305 and2532 raiment4629 let us be therewith content.714 5125
9 But1161 they that will1014 be rich4147 fall1706 into1519 temptation3986 and2532 a snare,3803 and2532 into many4183 foolish453 and2532 hurtful983 lusts,1939 which3748 drown1036 men444 in1519 destruction3639 and2532 perdition.684
10 For1063 the3588 love of money5365 is2076 the root4491 of all3956 evil:2556 which3739 while some5100 coveted after,3713 they have erred635 from575 the3588 faith,4102 and2532 pierced themselves through4044 1438 with many4183 sorrows.3601
11 But1161 thou,4771 O5599 man444 of God,2316 flee5343 these things;5023 and1161 follow after1377 righteousness,1343 godliness,2150 faith,4102 love,26 patience,5281 meekness.4236
12 Fight75 the3588 good2570 fight73 of faith,4102 lay hold on1949 eternal166 life,2222 whereunto1519 3739 thou art also2532 called,2564 and2532 hast professed3670 a good2570 profession3671 before1799 many4183 witnesses.3144
13 I give thee charge3853 4671 in the sight1799 of God,2316 who quickeneth2227 all things,3956 and2532 before Christ5547 Jesus,2424 who before1909 Pontius4194 Pilate4091 witnessed3140 a good2570 confession;3671
14 That thou4571 keep5083 this commandment1785 without spot,784 unrebukable,423 until3360 the3588 appearing2015 of our2257 Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ:5547
15 Which3739 in his2398 times2540 he shall show,1166 who is the3588 blessed3107 and2532 only3441 Potentate,1413 the3588 King935 of kings,936 and2532 Lord2962 of lords;2961
16 Who3588 only3441 hath2192 immortality,110 dwelling3611 in the light5457 which no man can approach unto;676 whom3739 no3762 man444 hath seen,1492 nor3761 can1410 see:1492 to whom3739 be honor5092 and2532 power2904 everlasting.166 Amen.281
17 Charge3853 them that are rich4145 in1722 this world,3568 165 that they be not highminded;5309 3361 nor3366 trust1679 in1909 uncertain83 riches,4149 but235 in1722 the3588 living2198 God,2316 who giveth3930 us2254 richly4146 all things3956 to1519 enjoy;619
18 That they do good,14 that they be rich4147 in1722 good2570 works,2041 1511 ready to distribute,2130 willing to communicate;2843
19 Laying up in store597 for themselves1438 a good2570 foundation2310 against1519 the3588 time to come,3195 that2443 they may lay hold on1949 eternal166 life.2222
20 O5599 Timothy,5095 keep5442 that which is committed to thy trust,3872 avoiding1624 profane952 and vain babblings,2757 and2532 oppositions477 of science1108 falsely so called:5581
21 Which3739 some5100 professing1861 have erred795 concerning4012 the3588 faith.4102 Grace5485 be with3326 thee.4675 Amen.281
Vul
1 Quicumque sunt sub jugo 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. Hc doce, et exhortare.
3 Si quis aliter docet, et non acquiescit sanis sermonibus Domini nostri Jesu Christi, et ei, qu secundum pietatem est, doctrin:
4 superbus est, nihil sciens, sed languens circa qustiones, et pugnas verborum: ex quibus oriuntur invidi, contentiones, blasphemi, suspiciones mal,
5 conflictationes hominum mente corruptorum, et qui veritate privati sunt, existimantium qustum esse pietatem.
6 Est autem qustus magnus pietas cum sufficientia.
7 Nihil enim intulimus in hunc mundum: haud dubium quod nec auferre quid possumus.
8 Habentes autem alimenta, et quibus tegamur, his contenti simus.
9 Nam qui volunt divites fieri, incidunt in tentationem, et in laqueum diaboli, et desideria multa inutilia, et nociva, qu mergunt homines in interitum et perditionem.
10 Radix enim omnium malorum est cupiditas: quam quidam appetentes erraverunt a fide, et inseruerunt se doloribus malis.
11 Tu autem, o homo Dei, hc fuge: sectare vero justitiam, pietatem, fidem, caritatem, patientiam, mansuetudinem.
12 Certa bonum certamen fidei, apprehende vitam ternam, in qua vocatus es, et confessus bonam confessionem coram multis testibus.
13 Prcipio tibi coram Deo, qui vivificat omnia, et Christo Jesu, qui testimonium reddidit sub Pontio Pilato, bonam confessionem,
14 ut serves mandatum sine macula, irreprehensibile usque in adventum Domini nostri Jesu Christi,
15 quem suis temporibus ostendet beatus et solus potens, Rex regum, et Dominus dominantium:
16 qui solus habet immortalitatem, et lucem inhabitat inaccessibilem: quem nullus hominum vidit, sed nec videre potest: cui honor, et imperium sempiternum. Amen.
17 Divitibus hujus sculi prcipe non sublime sapere, neque sperare in incerto divitiarum, sed in Deo vivo (qui prstat nobis omnia abunde ad fruendum)
18 bene agere, divites fieri in bonis operibus, facile tribuere, communicare,
19 thesaurizare sibi fundamentum bonum in futurum, ut apprehendant veram vitam.
20 O Timothee, depositum custodi, devitans profanas vocum novitates, et oppositiones falsi nominis scienti,
21 quam quidam promittentes, circa fidem exciderunt. Gratia tecum. Amen.
