¹Let as many as are bondservants under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine not be blasphemed.

KJVLet^G1526 as many^G3745 servants^G1401 as^G3745 are^G1526^(G5748) under^G5259 the yoke^G2218 count^G2233^(G5737) their own^G2398 masters^G1203 worthy^G514 of all^G3956 honour^G5092, that^G3363 the name^G3686 of God^G2316 and^G2532 his doctrine^G1319 be^G987 not^G3363 blasphemed^G987^(G5747).

² Those who have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brothers, but rather let them serve them, because those who partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.

KJVAnd^G1161 they that have^G2192^(G5723) believing^G4103 masters^G1203, let them^G2706 not^G3361 despise^G2706^(G5720) them, because^G3754 they are^G1526^(G5748) brethren^G80; but^G235 rather^G3123 do them service^G1398^(G5720), because^G3754 they are^G1526^(G5748) faithful^G4103 and^G2532 beloved^G27, partakers^G482^(G5740) of the benefit^G2108. These things^G5023 teach^G1321^(G5720) and^G2532 exhort^G3870^(G5720).

³ If anyone teaches a different doctrine and doesn’t consent to sound words, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness,

KJVIf any man^G1536 teach otherwise^G2085^(G5719), and^G2532 consent^G4334^(G5736) not^G3361 to wholesome^G5198^(G5723) words^G3056, even the words of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, and^G2532 to the doctrine^G1319 which is according^G2596 to godliness^G2150;

⁴ he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions,

KJVHe is proud^G5187^(G5769), knowing^G1987^(G5740) nothing^G3367, but^G235 doting^G3552^(G5723) about^G4012 questions^G2214 and^G2532 strifes of words^G3055, whereof^G1537^G3739 cometh^G1096^(G5736) envy^G5355, strife^G2054, railings^G988, evil^G4190 surmisings^G5283,

⁵ constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. Withdraw yourself from such.

KJVPerverse disputings^G3859 of men^G444 of corrupt^G1311^(G5772) minds^G3563, and^G2532 destitute^G650^(G5772) of the truth^G225, supposing^G3543^(G5723) that gain^G4200 is^G1511^(G5750) godliness^G2150: from^G575 such^G5108 withdraw thyself^G868^(G5737).

⁶ But godliness with contentment is great gain.

KJVBut^G1161 godliness^G2150 with^G3326 contentment^G841 is^G2076^(G5748) great^G3173 gain^G4200.

⁷ For we brought nothing into the world, and we certainly can’t carry anything out.

KJVFor^G1063 we brought^G1533^(G5656) nothing^G3762 into^G1519 this world^G2889, and it is certain^G1212^G3754 we can^G1410^(G5736) carry^G1627 nothing^G3761^G5100 out^G1627^(G5629).

⁸ But having food and clothing, we will be content with that.

KJVAnd^G1161 having^G2192^(G5723) food^G1305 and^G2532 raiment^G4629 let us be^G714 therewith^G5125 content^G714^(G5701).

⁹ But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation, a snare, and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction.

KJVBut^G1161 they that will^G1014^(G5740) be rich^G4147^(G5721) fall^G1706^(G5719) into^G1519 temptation^G3986 and^G2532 a snare^G3803, and^G2532 into many^G4183 foolish^G453 and^G2532 hurtful^G983 lusts^G1939, which^G3748 drown^G1036^(G5719) men^G444 in^G1519 destruction^G3639 and^G2532 perdition^G684.

¹⁰ For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

KJVFor^G1063 the love of money^G5365 is^G2076^(G5748) the root^G4491 of all^G3956 evil^G2556: which^G3739 while some^G5100 coveted after^G3713^(G5734), they have erred^G635^(G5681) from^G575 the faith^G4102, and^G2532 pierced^G4044 themselves^G1438 through^G4044^(G5656) with many^G4183 sorrows^G3601.

¹¹ But you, man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.

KJVBut^G1161 thou^G4771, O^G5599 man^G444 of God^G2316, flee^G5343^(G5720) these things^G5023; and^G1161 follow after^G1377^(G5720) righteousness^G1343, godliness^G2150, faith^G4102, love^G26, patience^G5281, meekness^G4236.

¹² Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.

KJVFight^G75^(G5737) the good^G2570 fight^G73 of faith^G4102, lay hold on^G1949^(G5634) eternal^G166 life^G2222, whereunto^G1519^G3739 thou art^G2564 also^G2532 called^G2564^(G5681), and^G2532 hast professed^G3670^(G5656) a good^G2570 profession^G3671 before^G1799 many^G4183 witnesses^G3144.

¹³ I command you before God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,

KJVI give^G3853 thee^G4671 charge^G3853^(G5719) in the sight^G1799 of God^G2316, who^G3588 quickeneth^G2227^(G5723) all things^G3956, and^G2532 before Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424, who^G3588 before^G1909 Pontius^G4194 Pilate^G4091 witnessed^G3140^(G5660) a good^G2570 confession^G3671;

¹⁴ that you keep the commandment without spot, blameless until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

KJVThat thou^G4571 keep^G5083^(G5658) this commandment^G1785 without spot^G784, unrebukeable^G423, until^G3360 the appearing^G2015 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547:

¹⁵ which at the right time he will show, who is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords.

KJVWhich^G3739 in his^G2398 times^G2540 he shall shew^G1166^(G5692), who^G3588 is the blessed^G3107 and^G2532 only^G3441 Potentate^G1413, the King^G935 of kings^G936^(G5723), and^G2532 Lord^G2962 of lords^G2961^(G5723);

¹⁶ He alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen nor can see, to whom be honor and eternal power. Amen.

KJVWho^G3588 only^G3441 hath^G2192^(G5723) immortality^G110, dwelling^G3611^(G5723) in the light^G5457 which no man^G3762 can approach unto^G676; whom^G3739 no man^G444 hath seen^G1492^(G5627), nor^G3761 can^G1410^(G5736) see^G1492^(G5629): to whom^G3739 be honour^G5092 and^G2532 power^G2904 everlasting^G166. Amen^G281.

¹⁷ Charge those who are rich in this present age that they not be arrogant, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on the living God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy;

KJVCharge^G3853^(G5720) them that are rich^G4145 in^G1722 this^G3568 world^G165, that they be^G5309 not^G3361 highminded^G5309^(G5721), nor^G3366 trust^G1679^(G5760) in^G1909 uncertain^G83 riches^G4149, but^G235 in^G1722 the living^G2198^(G5723) God^G2316, who^G3588 giveth^G3930^(G5723) us^G2254 richly^G4146 all things^G3956 to^G1519 enjoy^G619;

¹⁸ that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to share;

KJVThat they do good^G14^(G5721), that they be rich^G4147^(G5721) in^G1722 good^G2570 works^G2041, ready to distribute^G1511^(G5750)^G2130, willing to communicate^G2843;

¹⁹ laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold of eternal life.

KJVLaying up in store^G597^(G5723) for themselves^G1438 a good^G2570 foundation^G2310 against^G1519 the time to come^G3195^(G5723), that^G2443 they may lay hold on^G1949^(G5638) eternal^G166 life^G2222.

²⁰ Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of what is falsely called knowledge,

KJVO^G5599 Timothy^G5095, keep^G5442^(G5657) that which is committed to thy trust^G3872, avoiding^G1624^(G5734) profane^G952 and vain babblings^G2757, and^G2532 oppositions^G477 of science^G1108 falsely so called^G5581:

²¹ which some profess, and thus have wandered from the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.

KJVWhich^G3739 some^G5100 professing^G1861^(G5740) have erred^G795^(G5656) concerning^G4012 the faith^G4102. Grace^G5485 be with^G3326 thee^G4675. Amen^G281. The first^G4413 to^G4314 Timothy^G5095 was written^G1125^(G5648) from^G575 Laodicea^G2993, which^G3748 is^G2076^(G5748) the chiefest city^G3390 of Phrygia^G5435 Pacatiana^G3818.

WEB·1 Timothy 5

¹Don’t rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers;

KJVRebuke^G1969^(G5661) not^G3361 an elder^G4245, but^G235 intreat^G3870^(G5720) him as^G5613 a father^G3962; and the younger men^G3501 as^G5613 brethren^G80;

² the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity.

KJVThe elder women^G4245 as^G5613 mothers^G3384; the younger^G3501 as^G5613 sisters^G79, with^G1722 all^G3956 purity^G47.

³ Honor widows who are widows indeed.

KJVHonour^G5091^(G5720) widows^G5503 that are widows^G5503 indeed^G3689.

⁴ But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety toward their own family and to repay their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

KJVBut^G1161 if any^G1536 widow^G5503 have^G2192^(G5719) children^G5043 or^G2228 nephews^G1549, let them learn^G3129^(G5720) first^G4412 to shew piety^G2151^(G5721) at home^G2398^G3624, and^G2532 to requite^G287^G591^(G5721) their parents^G4269: for^G1063 that^G5124 is^G2076^(G5748) good^G2570 and^G2532 acceptable^G587 before^G1799 God^G2316.

⁵ Now she who is a widow indeed and desolate, has her hope set on God and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.

KJVNow^G1161 she that is a widow^G5503 indeed^G3689, and^G2532 desolate^G3443^(G5772), trusteth^G1679^(G5758) in^G1909 God^G2316, and^G2532 continueth^G4357^(G5719) in supplications^G1162 and^G2532 prayers^G4335 night^G3571 and^G2532 day^G2250.

⁶ But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives.

KJVBut^G1161 she that liveth in pleasure^G4684^(G5723) is dead^G2348^(G5758) while she liveth^G2198^(G5723).

⁷ Also command these things, that they may be without reproach.

KJVAnd^G2532 these things^G5023 give in charge^G3853^(G5720), that^G2443 they may be^G5600^(G5753) blameless^G423.

⁸ But if anyone doesn’t provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

KJVBut^G1161 if any^G1536 provide^G4306^(G5719) not^G3756 for his own^G2398, and^G2532 specially^G3122 for those of his own house^G3609, he hath denied^G720^(G5763) the faith^G4102, and^G2532 is^G2076^(G5748) worse than^G5501 an infidel^G571.

⁹ Let no one be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,

KJVLet^G2639 not^G3361 a widow^G5503 be taken into the number^G2639^(G5744) under^G1640 threescore^G1835 years old^G2094, having been^G1096^(G5756) the wife^G1135 of one^G1520 man^G435,

¹⁰ being approved by good works, if she has brought up children, if she has been hospitable to strangers, if she has washed the saints’ feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, and if she has diligently followed every good work.

KJVWell reported of^G3140^(G5746) for^G1722 good^G2570 works^G2041; if^G1487 she have brought up^G5044^(G5656) children, if^G1487 she have lodged strangers^G3580^(G5656), if^G1487 she have washed^G3538^(G5656) the saints^G40' feet^G4228, if^G1487 she have relieved^G1884^(G5656) the afflicted^G2346^(G5746), if^G1487 she have diligently followed^G1872^(G5656) every^G3956 good^G18 work^G2041.

¹¹ But refuse younger widows, for when they have grown wanton against Christ, they desire to marry,

KJVBut^G1161 the younger^G3501 widows^G5503 refuse^G3868^(G5737): for^G1063 when^G3752 they have begun to wax wanton against^G2691^(G5661) Christ^G5547, they will^G2309^(G5719) marry^G1060^(G5721);

¹² having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge.

KJVHaving^G2192^(G5723) damnation^G2917, because^G3754 they have cast off^G114^(G5656) their first^G4413 faith^G4102.

¹³ Besides, they also learn to be idle, going about from house to house. Not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not.

KJVAnd^G1161^G2532 withal^G260 they learn^G3129^(G5719) to be idle^G692, wandering about^G4022^(G5740) from house to house^G3614; and^G1161 not^G3756 only^G3440 idle^G692, but^G235 tattlers^G5397 also^G2532 and^G2532 busybodies^G4021, speaking^G2980^(G5723) things which^G3588 they ought^G1163^(G5752) not^G3361.

¹⁴ I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for insulting.

KJVI will^G1014^(G5736) therefore^G3767 that the younger women^G3501 marry^G1060^(G5721), bear children^G5041^(G5721), guide the house^G3616^(G5721), give^G1325^(G5721) none^G3367 occasion^G874 to the adversary^G480^(G5740) to^G5484 speak reproachfully^G3059.

¹⁵ For already some have turned away after Satan.

KJVFor^G1063 some^G5100 are^G1624 already^G2235 turned aside^G1624^(G5648) after^G3694 Satan^G4567.

¹⁶ If any man or woman who believes has widows, let them relieve them, and don’t let the assembly be burdened, that it might relieve those who are widows indeed.

KJVIf any^G1536 man^G4103 or^G2228 woman that believeth^G4103 have^G2192^(G5719) widows^G5503, let them relieve^G1884^(G5720) them^G846, and^G2532 let^G916 not^G3361 the church^G1577 be charged^G916^(G5744); that^G2443 it may relieve^G1884^(G5661) them that are widows^G5503 indeed^G3689.

¹⁷ Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching.

KJVLet^G515 the elders^G4245 that rule^G4291^(G5761) well^G2573 be counted worthy^G515^(G5744) of double^G1362 honour^G5092, especially^G3122 they who labour^G2872^(G5723) in^G1722 the word^G3056 and^G2532 doctrine^G1319.

¹⁸ For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle the ox when it treads out the grain.” And, “The laborer is worthy of his wages.”

KJVFor^G1063 the scripture^G1124 saith^G3004^(G5719), Thou shalt^G5392 not^G3756 muzzle^G5392^(G5692) the ox^G1016 that treadeth out the corn^G248^(G5723). And^G2532, The labourer^G2040 is worthy^G514 of his^G846 reward^G3408.

¹⁹ Don’t receive an accusation against an elder except at the word of two or three witnesses.

KJVAgainst^G2596 an elder^G4245 receive^G3858^(G5737) not^G3361 an accusation^G2724, but^G1508^G1622 before^G1909 two^G1417 or^G2228 three^G5140 witnesses^G3144.

²⁰ Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.

KJVThem that sin^G264^(G5723) rebuke^G1651^(G5720) before^G1799 all^G3956, that^G2443 others^G3062 also^G2532 may^G2192^(G5725) fear^G5401.

²¹ I command you in the sight of God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the chosen angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality.

KJVI charge^G1263^(G5736) thee before^G1799 God^G2316, and^G2532 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, and^G2532 the elect^G1588 angels^G32, that^G2443 thou observe^G5442^(G5661) these things^G5023 without^G5565 preferring one before another^G4299, doing^G4160^(G5723) nothing^G3367 by^G2596 partiality^G4346.

²² Lay hands hastily on no one. Don’t be a participant in other people’s sins. Keep yourself pure.

KJVLay^G2007 hands^G5495 suddenly^G5030 on^G2007^(G5720) no man^G3367, neither^G3366 be partaker^G2841^(G5720) of other^G245 men's sins^G266: keep^G5083^(G5720) thyself^G4572 pure^G53.

²³ Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities.

KJVDrink^G5202 no longer^G3371 water^G5202^(G5720), but^G235 use^G5530^(G5737) a little^G3641 wine^G3631 for^G1223 thy^G4675 stomach's sake^G4751 and^G2532 thine^G4675 often^G4437 infirmities^G769.

²⁴ Some men’s sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later.

KJVSome^G5100 men's^G444 sins^G266 are^G1526^(G5748) open beforehand^G4271, going before^G4254^(G5723) to^G1519 judgment^G2920; and^G1161^G2532 some^G5100 men they follow after^G1872^(G5719).

²⁵ In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise can’t be hidden.

KJVLikewise^G5615 also^G2532 the good^G2570 works^G2041 of some are^G2076^(G5748) manifest beforehand^G4271; and^G2532 they that are^G2192^(G5723) otherwise^G247 cannot^G3756^G1410^(G5736) be hid^G2928^(G5650).
