¹ G1526 Let G3745 as many G1401 servants G3745 as G1526 are [G5748]   G5259 under G2218 the yoke G2233 count [G5737]   G2398 their own G1203 masters G514 worthy G3956 of all G5092 honour G3363 , that G3686 the name G2316 of God G2532 and G1319 his doctrine G987 be G3363 not G987 blasphemed [G5747]  .

² G1161 And G2192 they that have [G5723]   G4103 believing G1203 masters G2706 , let them G3361 not G2706 despise [G5720]   G3754 them, because G1526 they are [G5748]   G80 brethren G235 ; but G3123 rather G1398 do them service [G5720]   G3754 , because G1526 they are [G5748]   G4103 faithful G2532 and G27 beloved G482 , partakers [G5740]   G2108 of the benefit G5023 . These things G1321 teach [G5720]   G2532 and G3870 exhort [G5720]  .

⁵ G3859 Perverse disputings G444 of men G1311 of corrupt [G5772]   G3563 minds G2532 , and G650 destitute [G5772]   G225 of the truth G3543 , supposing [G5723]   G4200 that gain G1511 is [G5750]   G2150 godliness G575 : from G5108 such G868 withdraw thyself [G5737]  .

⁶ G1161 But G2150 godliness G3326 with G841 contentment G2076 is [G5748]   G3173 great G4200 gain.

¹⁰ G1063 For G5365 the love of money G2076 is [G5748]   G4491 the root G3956 of all G2556 evil G3739 : which G5100 while some G3713 coveted after [G5734]   G635 , they have erred [G5681]   G575 from G4102 the faith G2532 , and G4044 pierced G1438 themselves G4044 through [G5656]   G4183 with many G3601 sorrows.

Amen.

¹⁷ G3853 Charge [G5720]   G4145 them that are rich G1722 in G3568 this G165 world G5309 , that they be G3361 not G5309 highminded [G5721]   G3366 , nor G1679 trust [G5760]   G1909 in G83 uncertain G4149 riches G235 , but G1722 in G2198 the living [G5723]   G2316 God G3588 , who G3930 giveth [G5723]   G2254 us G4146 richly G3956 all things G1519 to G619 enjoy;
