20;
20 Timothy, guard what has been
entrusted to your care. Turn away from "godless chatter" and the "opposing ideas" of what is
"falsely
called knowledge", (2)

17 Command those who are rich in
this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is
so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with
everything for our enjoyment. (8)
18 Command them to do
good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.

8 But if we have food and
clothing, we will be content with that. (8)
9 Those who want to
get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful
desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.

21 which
some have professed and in so doing have departed from the faith. (3)

12 Fight
the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were
called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. (3)
13 In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ
Jesus, who while testifying before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I
charge you
14 to keep this command without
spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 which God will bring about in His own time—God, the blessed and
only Ruler, the King
of kings and Lord of lords,
16 Who Alone is Immortal and Who
Lives in Unapproachable Light, whom no one has seen or can see. To Him be Honor
and Might Forever. Amen.

3 If
anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree to the sound instruction of our
Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching,
(3)
4 they are conceited and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy
interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil
suspicions
5 and constant
friction between people of corrupt
mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means
to financial gain.
6 But "Godliness" with "Contentment" is "Great" "Gain".
7 For we brought nothing into the
world, and we can take nothing out of it.

19 In
this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm
foundation for the coming age, so that
they may take hold of the life that is truly life.

10 For the love of money is a root
of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith
and pierced themselves with many griefs. (1)
Final Charge to
Timothy
11 But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.

6 All who are under the yoke of slavery should consider their
masters worthy of full respect, so that God’s name and our teaching may not be
slandered.
(1)
2 Those who have
believing masters should not show them disrespect just because they are fellow
believers. Instead, they should serve them even better because their masters are dear to them as fellow believers and are devoted to the welfare
of their slaves.
False Teachers and
the Love of Money
These
are the things you are to teach and insist on.
