1 Timothy

6 kapittel

Kapittel

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,

I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men,

This is a faithful saying: someone who seeks to be an overseer desires a good work.

But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,

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

Let 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.
