1 Timothy 6:2-5
English Standard Version

2 Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful on the ground that they are (A)brothers; rather they must serve all the better since those who benefit by their good service are believers and beloved.

False Teachers and True Contentment

(B)Teach and urge these things. 3 If anyone (C)teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with (D)the sound[a] words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching (E)that accords with godliness, 4 (F)he is puffed up with conceit and (G)understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for (H)controversy and for (I)quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, 5 and constant friction among people (J)who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, (K)imagining that godliness is a means of gain.
