1 Timothy 6
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
6 Whosoever are servants under the yoke, let them count their masters worthy of all honour; lest the name of the Lord and his doctrine be blasphemed.
2 But they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but serve them the rather, because they are faithful and beloved, who are partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to that doctrine which is according to godliness,
4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but sick about questions and strifes of words; from which arise envies, contentions, blasphemies, evil suspicions,
5 Conflicts of men corrupted in mind, and who are destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness.
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into this world: and certainly we can carry nothing out.
8 But having food, and wherewith to be covered, with these we are content.
9 For they that will become rich, fall into temptation, and into the snare of the devil, and into many unprofitable and hurtful desires, which drown men into destruction and perdition.
10 For the desire of money is the root of all evils; which some coveting have erred from the faith, and have entangled themselves in many sorrows.
11 But thou, O man of God, fly these things: and pursue justice, godliness, faith, charity, patience, mildness.
12 Fight the good fight of faith: lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art called, and hast confessed a good confession before many witnesses.
13 I charge thee before God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who gave testimony under Pontius Pilate, a good confession,
14 That thou keep the commandment without spot, blameless, unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Which in his times he shall shew who is the Blessed and only Mighty, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16 Who only hath immortality, and inhabiteth light inaccessible, whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and empire everlasting. Amen.
17 Charge the rich of this world not to be highminded, nor to trust in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, (who giveth us abundantly all things to enjoy,)
18 To do good, to be rich in good works, to give easily, to communicate to others,
19 To lay up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the true life.
20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding the profane novelties of words, and oppositions of knowledge falsely so called.
21 Which some promising, have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.

Cómo servir a los superiores
6 Todos los que están bajo yugo como esclavos(A), consideren a sus propios amos como dignos de todo honor, para que el nombre de Dios y nuestra doctrina no sean blasfemados(B). 2 Y los que tienen amos que son creyentes, no les falten el respeto, porque son hermanos(C), sino sírvanles aún mejor, ya que son creyentes y amados los que se benefician de su servicio. Enseña(D) y predica[a] estos principios.
Las doctrinas falsas y el amor al dinero
3 Si alguno enseña una doctrina diferente(E) y no se conforma a[b] las sanas palabras(F), las de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, y a la doctrina que es conforme a la piedad(G), 4 está envanecido(H) y nada entiende, sino que tiene un interés morboso[c] en discusiones(I) y contiendas de palabras(J), de las cuales nacen envidias, pleitos, blasfemias, malas sospechas, 5 y constantes rencillas entre hombres de mente depravada(K), que están privados de la verdad, que suponen que la piedad[d] es un medio de ganancia[e](L). 6 Pero la piedad(M), en efecto, es un medio de gran ganancia(N) cuando va acompañada de contentamiento(O). 7 Porque nada hemos traído al mundo(P), así que[f] nada podemos sacar de él. 8 Y si tenemos qué comer(Q) y con qué cubrirnos, con eso estaremos contentos. 9 Pero los que quieren enriquecerse(R) caen en tentación y lazo(S) y en muchos deseos necios y dañosos que hunden a los hombres en la ruina y en la perdición[g]. 10 Porque la raíz de todos los males es el amor al dinero(T), por el cual, codiciándolo algunos, se extraviaron de la fe(U) y se torturaron[h] con muchos dolores.
Exhortación y doxología
11 Pero tú, oh hombre de Dios(V), huye de estas cosas(W), y sigue la justicia, la piedad, la fe(X), el amor(Y), la perseverancia y la amabilidad. 12 Pelea la buena batalla(Z) de la fe(AA); echa mano de la vida eterna(AB) a la cual fuiste llamado(AC), y de la que hiciste buena profesión(AD) en presencia de muchos testigos(AE). 13 Te mando delante de Dios(AF), que da vida[i] a todas las cosas, y de Cristo Jesús(AG), que dio testimonio de la buena profesión(AH) delante de Poncio Pilato(AI), 14 que guardes el mandamiento sin mancha ni reproche hasta la manifestación de nuestro Señor Jesucristo(AJ), 15 la cual manifestará a su debido tiempo(AK) el bienaventurado(AL) y único Soberano(AM), el Rey de reyes[j](AN) y Señor de señores[k](AO); 16 el único que tiene inmortalidad(AP) y habita en luz inaccesible(AQ); a quien ningún hombre ha visto ni puede ver(AR). A Él sea la honra y el dominio eterno(AS). Amén.
Instrucciones para los ricos
17 A los ricos en este mundo[l](AT), enséñales que no sean altaneros(AU) ni pongan su esperanza en la incertidumbre de las riquezas(AV), sino en Dios, el cual nos da abundantemente todas las cosas para que las disfrutemos(AW). 18 Enséñales que hagan bien, que sean ricos en buenas obras(AX), generosos(AY) y prontos a compartir, 19 acumulando para sí el tesoro de un buen fundamento para el futuro(AZ), para que puedan echar mano de lo que en verdad es vida(BA).
Exhortación final y bendición
20 Oh Timoteo(BB), guarda lo[m] que se te ha encomendado(BC), y evita las palabrerías vacías y profanas(BD), y las objeciones[n] de lo que falsamente se llama ciencia[o], 21 la cual profesándola algunos, se han desviado(BE) de[p] la fe(BF).
La gracia sea con vosotros[q](BG).

King James Version
6 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, unrebukable, 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.
