1 Timothy 6:2-5
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
2 And let the ones having believing masters not be disregarding them because they are brothers, but let them be serving them more[a], because the ones being helped[b] by the good-work are believers and beloved ones.
Anyone Who Teaches Differently Is Spiritually Diseased And Pursuing Personal Gain
Be teaching and exhorting these things. 3 If anyone teaches-different-doctrines, and does not come-to[c] healthy[d] words— the ones of our Lord Jesus Christ— and to the teaching in accordance with godliness, 4 he has become conceited[e], understanding nothing, but being diseased[f] with respect to controversies and word-battles, out of which comes envy, strife, blasphemies, evil suspicions, 5 constant-frictions, from people having been corrupted as to the mind and robbed[g] of the truth, while supposing that godliness is a means-of-gain.
