1 Timothy 6:2-5
Legacy Standard Bible
2 But those who have believers as their masters must not be disrespectful to them because they are (A)brothers, but must serve them all the more, because those who [a]partake of the benefit are believers and beloved. (B)Teach and exhort these things.
3 If anyone (C)teaches a different doctrine and does not [b]agree with (D)sound words—those of our Lord Jesus Christ—and with the doctrine (E)conforming to godliness, 4 he is (F)conceited, understanding nothing but [c]having a morbid interest in (G)controversial questions and (H)disputes about words, out of which arise envy, strife, slander, evil suspicions, 5 and constant friction between (I)men of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who (J)suppose that [d]godliness is a means of gain.

Christian Standard Bible
2 Let those who have believing masters not be disrespectful to them because they are brothers, but serve them even better, since those who benefit from their service are believers and dearly loved.[a](A)
False Doctrine and Human Greed
Teach and encourage these things. 3 If anyone teaches false doctrine and does not agree with the sound teaching of our Lord(B) Jesus Christ and with the teaching that promotes godliness,(C) 4 he is conceited and understands nothing, but has an unhealthy interest in disputes and arguments over words.(D) From these come envy,(E) quarreling,(F) slander,(G) evil suspicions, 5 and constant disagreement among people whose minds are depraved and deprived of the truth, who imagine that godliness is a way to material gain.[b](H)
