⁹ who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,

KJVWhereunto^G1519^G3739 I^G1473 am appointed^G5087^(G5681) a preacher^G2783, and^G2532 an apostle^G652, and^G2532 a teacher^G1320 of the Gentiles^G1484.

¹² For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.

KJVFor^G1223 the which^G3739 cause^G156 I^G3958 also^G2532 suffer^G3958^(G5719) these things^G5023: nevertheless^G235 I am^G1870 not^G3756 ashamed^G1870^(G5736): for^G1063 I know^G1492^(G5758) whom^G3739 I have believed^G4100^(G5758), and^G2532 am persuaded^G3982^(G5769) that^G3754 he is^G2076^(G5748) able^G1415 to keep^G5442^(G5658) that which I^G3450 have committed unto him^G3866 against^G1519 that^G1565 day^G2250.

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).

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;
