1st Timothy — 6
1 All slaves should show full respect for their masters so they will not bring shame on the Name of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH
and HIS teaching.
2 If the masters are believers, that is no excuse for being disrespectful. Those slaves should work all the harder because their efforts are helping other believers who are well loved. Teach these things, Timothy, and encourage everyone to obey them.
3 Some people may contradict our teaching, but these are the wholesome teachings of our Master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA Ha'Mashyach. These teachings promote a righteous life.
4 Anyone who teaches something different is arrogant and lacks understanding. Such a person has an unhealthy desire to quibble over the meaning of words. This stirs up arguments ending in jealousy, division, slander, and evil suspicions.
5 These people always cause trouble. Their minds are corrupt, and they have turned their backs on the truth. To them, a show of righteousness is just a way to become wealthy.
6 Yet true righteousness with contentment is itself great wealth.
7 After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we cannot take anything with us when we leave the world.
8 So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content.
9 But people who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction.
10 For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true Amunah and pierced themselves with many sorrows.
Shaul’s Final Instructions
11 But you, Timothy, you are a servant of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH; so run from all these evil things. Pursue righteousness and a righteous life, along with Amunah, Ahaba (love), perseverance, and gentleness.
12 Fight the good fight for the True Amunah. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH has called you, which you have declared so well before many witnesses.
13 And I charge you before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, who gives life to all, and before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA Ha'Mashyach, who gave a good testimony before Pontius Pilate,
14 That you obey all the instructions without wavering. Then no one can find fault with you from now until our MASTER 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏_YAHUSHA Ha'Mashyach come again.
15 For, At just the right time Ha'Mashyach will be revealed from Shamaym by the Baraked and only Almighty 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH, the Ruler of all kings and MASTER of all masters.
16 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH alone can never die, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH lives in light so brilliant that no man can approach HIM. No man's eye has ever seen 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, nor ever will. All honor and power to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH forever! So it will be.
17 Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment.
18 Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others.
19 By doing this they will be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may experience true life.
20 Timothy, guard what 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH has entrusted to you. Avoid Unrighteous foolish discussions with those who oppose you with their so-called knowledge.
21 Some people have wandered from the Amunah by following such foolishness. May the favor of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH be with you all. So it will be.
