Greeting

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ, our hope,

Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith,

forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

These things command and teach.

And these things command, that they may be blameless.

that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing,

Instructions to the Rich

Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.
