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.

1 Timothy 6:2-5
New Living Translation

2 If the masters are believers, that is no excuse for being disrespectful. Those slaves should work all the harder because their efforts are helping other believers[a] who are well loved.

False Teaching and True Riches

Teach these things, Timothy, and encourage everyone to obey them. 3 Some people may contradict our teaching, but these are the wholesome teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. These teachings promote a godly life. 4 Anyone who teaches something different is arrogant and lacks understanding. Such a person has an unhealthy desire to quibble over the meaning of words. This stirs up arguments ending in jealousy, division, slander, and evil suspicions. 5 These people always cause trouble. Their minds are corrupt, and they have turned their backs on the truth. To them, a show of godliness is just a way to become wealthy.
