1 Timothy 6

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

οσοι εισιν υπο ζυγον δουλοι, τους ιδιους δεσποτας πασης τιμης αξιους ηγεισθωσαν, ινα μη το ονομα του θεου και η διδασκαλια βλασφημηται.

2And those who have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brethren, but rather serve them because those who are benefited are believers and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.

οι δε πιστους εχοντες δεσποτας μη καταφρονειτωσαν, οτι αδελφοι εισιν, αλλα μαλλον δουλευετωσαν, οτι πιστοι εισιν και αγαπητοι οι της ευεργεσιας αντιλαμβανομενοι. ταυτα διδασκε και παρακαλει.

3If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness,

ει τις ετεροδιδασκαλει και μη προσερχεται υγιαινουσιν λογοις τοις του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου και τη κατ ευσεβειαν διδασκαλια,

4he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions,

τετυφωται, μηδεν επισταμενος, αλλα νοσων περι ζητησεις και λογομαχιας, εξ ων γινεται φθονος, ερις, βλασφημιαι, υπονοιαι πονηραι,

5useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.

παραδιατριβαι διεφθαρμενων ανθρωπων τον νουν και απεστερημενων της αληθειας, νομιζοντων πορισμον ειναι την ευσεβειαν. αφιστασο απο των τοιουτων.

6Now godliness with contentment is great gain.

εστιν δε πορισμος μεγας η ευσεβεια μετα αυταρκειας.

7For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

ουδεν γαρ εισηνεγκαμεν εις τον κοσμον, δηλον οτι ουδε εξενεγκειν τι δυναμεθα·

8And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.

εχοντες δε διατροφας και σκεπασματα, τουτοις αρκεσθησομεθα.

9But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.

οι δε βουλομενοι πλουτειν εμπιπτουσιν εις πειρασμον και παγιδα και επιθυμιας πολλας ανοητους και βλαβερας, αιτινες βυθιζουσιν τους ανθρωπους εις ολεθρον και απωλειαν.

10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

ριζα γαρ παντων των κακων εστιν η φιλαργυρια, ης τινες ορεγομενοι απεπλανηθησαν απο της πιστεως και εαυτους περιεπειραν οδυναις πολλαις.

11But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.

συ δε, ω ανθρωπε του θεου, ταυτα φευγε· διωκε δε δικαιοσυνην, ευσεβειαν, πιστιν, αγαπην, υπομονην, πραοτητα.

12Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

αγωνιζου τον καλον αγωνα της πιστεως· επιλαβου της αιωνιου ζωης, εις ην [και] εκληθης και ωμολογησας την καλην ομολογιαν ενωπιον πολλων μαρτυρων.

13I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate,

παραγγελλω σοι ενωπιον του θεου του ζωοποιουντος τα παντα και χριστου ιησου του μαρτυρησαντος επι ποντιου πιλατου την καλην ομολογιαν,

14that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ's appearing,

τηρησαι σε την εντολην ασπιλον, ανεπιληπτον μεχρι της επιφανειας του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου,

15which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords,

ην καιροις ιδιοις δειξει ο μακαριος και μονος δυναστης, ο βασιλευς των βασιλευοντων και κυριος των κυριευοντων,

16who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen.

ο μονος εχων αθανασιαν, φως οικων απροσιτον, ον ειδεν ουδεις ανθρωπων ουδε ιδειν δυναται· ω τιμη και κρατος αιωνιον· αμην.

17Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.

τοις πλουσιοις εν τω νυν αιωνι παραγγελλε μη υψηλοφρονειν, μηδε ηλπικεναι επι πλουτου αδηλοτητι, αλλ εν τω θεω τω ζωντι, τω παρεχοντι ημιν παντα πλουσιως εις απολαυσιν,

18Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share,

αγαθοεργειν, πλουτειν εν εργοις καλοις, ευμεταδοτους ειναι, κοινωνικους,

19storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

αποθησαυριζοντας εαυτοις θεμελιον καλον εις το μελλον, ινα επιλαβωνται της αιωνιου ζωης.

20O Timothy! Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge—

ω τιμοθεε, την παρακαταθηκην φυλαξον, εκτρεπομενος τας βεβηλους κενοφωνιας και αντιθεσεις της ψευδωνυμου γνωσεως,

21by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.

ην τινες επαγγελλομενοι περι την πιστιν ηστοχησαν. η χαρις μετα σου· αμην.
