1 Timothy 6:11-16
American Standard Version
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, [a]patience, meekness. 12 Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the life eternal, whereunto thou wast called, and didst confess the good confession in the sight of many witnesses. 13 I charge thee in the sight of God, who [b]giveth life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed the good confession; 14 that thou keep the commandment, without spot, without reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 15 which in [c]its own times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of [d]kings, and Lord of [e]lords; 16 who only hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power eternal. Amen.
