1 Timóteo 6

KJV

1 Kõik, kes on orjaikkes, pidagu oma peremehi suure lugupidamise vääriliseks, et Jumala nime ja õpetust ei teotataks. 2 Aga kellel on usklikud peremehed, ärgu põlaku neid sellepärast, et nad on usukaaslased, vaid teenigu neid veel paremini, sest nad on nende usukaaslased ja pühendunud oma orjade heaolule.

Armastus raha vastu

Seda õpeta ja rõhuta!

3 Kes õpetab midagi muud ega nõustu meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse mõistlike sõnade ja jumalakartliku õpetusega, 4 on ennast täis ega mõista midagi! Neile meeldib haiglaslikult vaielda ja tülitseda sõnade tähenduse pärast, millest tekib kadedust, riidu, laimu, alatuid kahtlustusi 5 ja pidevat jagelemist inimeste vahel, kes on kaotanud arukuse, kellelt on varastatud tõde ja kes peavad jumalakartust rahaliseks tuluallikaks.

6 Ent jumalakartus koos rahuloluga on tõesti suur tuluallikas. 7 Ei ole me ju midagi toonud siia maailma ega saa ka midagi ära viia. 8 Kui meil on toit laual ja riie seljas, siis olgem sellega rahul. 9 Aga kes tahavad rikkaks saada, langevad ahvatluste lõksu ja paljude rumalate ja kahjulike himude küüsi, mis veavad inimesed sügavasse hävingusse ja hukatusse. 10 Sest armastus raha vastu on kogu kurja juur: seda ahnitsedes on mitmed usuteelt eksinud ja endale tekitanud palju piinu.

Pauluse korraldused Timoteosele

11 Sina aga, Jumala inimene, hoidu sellest! Taotle õigust, jumalakartust, ustavust, armastust, vastupidavust ja tasadust! 12 Võitle head usuvõitlust, haara kinni igavesest elust, millele sa oled kutsutud, kui sa oled andnud hea tunnistuse paljude tunnistajate ees. 13 Ma käsin sind Jumala ees, kes kõik teeb elavaks, ja Jeesuse Kristuse ees, kes Pontius Pilaatuse ees andis hea tunnistuse, 14 et sa järgiksid korraldust veatult ja laitmatult kuni meie Issanda Jeesuse Kristuse ilmumiseni, 15 mille õigel ajal toob nähtavale tema

õnnistatud ja ainus Valitseja,

kuningate Kuningas ja isandate Issand,

16 kes üksi on surematu,

kes elab ligipääsmatus valguses,

keda pole näinud ükski inimene ega võigi näha.

Temale olgu austus ja igavene vägi! Aamen.

17 Manitse neid, kes on rikkad praeguses maailmas, et nad ei oleks kõrgid ega loodaks varandusele, mis on ebakindel, vaid Jumalale, kes annab meile nautimiseks kõike rikkalikult. 18 Käsi neil teha head, olla rikkad kaunite tegude poolest, olla helded ja valmis teistega jagama. 19 Selliselt koguvad nad vara ja rajavad endale vundamendi tulevaseks ajaks, et haarata kinni tõelisest elust.

20 Timoteos, hoia seda, mis sinu hoolde on usaldatud! Väldi jumalakartmatut loba ja vastuväiteid, mida ekslikult teadmisteks kutsutakse, 21 millega nõustudes on mõnedki usust kõrvale kaldunud.

Arm olgu teie kõikidega!

1 Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed. 2 And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.

3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; 14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. 17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. 20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.

The first to Timothy was written from Laodicea, which is the chiefest city of Phrygia Pacatiana.
