14.12. 1 Tim 6:11-21


1 Tim 6:11-21:
6:11 Mutta sinä, Jumalan ihminen, pakene semmoista, ja tavoita vanhurskautta, jumalisuutta, uskoa, rakkautta, kärsivällisyyttä, hiljaisuutta.
6:12 Kilvoittele hyvä uskon kilvoitus, tartu kiinni iankaikkiseen elämään, johon olet kutsuttu ja johon hyvällä tunnustuksella olet tunnustautunut monen todistajan edessä.
6:13 Jumalan edessä, joka kaikki eläväksi tekee, ja Kristuksen Jeesuksen edessä, joka Pontius Pilatuksen edessä todisti, tunnustaen hyvän tunnustuksen, minä kehoitan sinua,
6:14 että tahrattomasti ja moitteettomasti pidät käskyn meidän Herramme Jeesuksen Kristuksen ilmestymiseen saakka,
6:15 jonka aikanansa on antava meidän nähdä se autuas ja ainoa valtias, kuningasten Kuningas ja herrain Herra,
6:16 jolla ainoalla on kuolemattomuus; joka asuu valkeudessa, mihin ei kukaan taida tulla; jota yksikään ihminen ei ole nähnyt eikä voi nähdä - hänen olkoon kunnia ja iankaikkinen valta. Amen.
6:17 Kehoita niitä, jotka nykyisessä maailmanajassa ovat rikkaita, etteivät ylpeilisi eivätkä panisi toivoansa epävarmaan rikkauteen, vaan Jumalaan, joka runsaasti antaa meille kaikkea nautittavaksemme,
6:18 kehoita heitä, että tekevät hyvää, hyvissä töissä rikastuvat, ovat anteliaita ja omastansa jakelevat,
6:19 kooten itsellensä aarteen, hyvän perustuksen tulevaisuuden varalle, että saisivat todellisen elämän.
6:20 Oi Timoteus, talleta se, mikä sinulle on uskottu, ja vältä tiedon nimellä kulkevan valhetiedon epäpyhiä ja tyhjiä puheita ja vastaväitteitä,
6:21 johon tunnustautuen muutamat ovat uskosta hairahtuneet.
Armo olkoon teidän kanssanne!

1 Timothy 6:11-21Amplified Bible (AMP)
But as for you, [a]
O man of God, flee from these things; aim at and pursue righteousness [true goodness, moral conformity to the character of God], godliness [the fear of God], faith, love, steadfastness, and gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of the faith [in the conflict with evil]; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and [for which] you made the good confession [of faith] in the presence of many witnesses. 13 I solemnly charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and [in the presence] of Christ Jesus, who made the good confession [in His testimony] before Pontius Pilate, 14 to keep all His precepts without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 which He will bring about in His own time—He who is the blessed and only Sovereign [the absolute Ruler], the King of those who reign as kings and Lord of those who rule as lords, 16 He alone possesses immortality [absolute exemption from death] and lives in unapproachable light, whom no man has ever seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal power and dominion! Amen.
17 As for the rich in this present world, instruct them not to be conceited and arrogant, nor to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly and ceaselessly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 18 Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous, willing to share [with others]. 19 In this way storing up for themselves the enduring riches of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.
20 O Timothy, guard and keep safe the deposit [of godly truth] entrusted to you, turn away from worldly and godless chatter [with its profane, empty words], and the contradictions of what is falsely called “knowledge”— 21 which some have professed and by doing so have erred (missed the mark) and strayed from the faith.
Grace be with you.

1 Timothy 6:11-21Ampl, Classic Edition (AMPC)
11 
But as for you, O man of God, flee from all these things; aim at and pursue righteousness (right standing with God and true goodness), godliness (which is the loving fear of God and being Christlike), faith, love, steadfastness (patience), and gentleness of heart.
12 Fight the
good fight of the faith; lay hold of the eternal life to which you were summoned and [for which] you confessed the good confession [of faith] before many witnesses.
13 In the presence of God, Who preserves alive all living things, and of Christ Jesus, Who in His testimony before Pontius Pilate made the good confession,
I [solemnly] charge you
14 To keep all His precepts unsullied and flawless, irreproachable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Anointed One),

15 Which [appearing] will be shown forth in His own proper time by the blessed, only Sovereign (Ruler), the King of kings and the Lord of lords,
16 Who alone has immortality [in the sense of exemption from every kind of death] and lives in unapproachable light, Whom no man has ever seen or can see. Unto Him be honor and everlasting power and dominion. Amen (so be it).
17 As for the rich in this world, charge them not to be proud and arrogant and contemptuous of others, nor to set their hopes on uncertain riches, but
on God, Who richly and ceaselessly provides us with everything for [our] enjoyment.
18 [Charge them] to do good, to be rich in good works, to be liberal and generous of heart, ready to share [with others],
19 In this way laying up for themselves [the riches that endure forever as] a good foundation for the future, so that they may grasp that which is life indeed.
20 O Timothy,
guard and keep the deposit entrusted [to you]! Turn away from the irreverent babble and godless chatter, with the vain and empty and worldly phrases, and the subtleties and the contradictions in what is falsely called knowledge and spiritual illumination.
21 [For] by making such profession some have erred (missed the mark) as regards the faith. Grace (divine favor and blessing) be with you all! Amen (so be it).

1 Timothy 6:11-21The Message (MSG) Running Hard
11-12 
But you, Timothy, man of God: Run for your life from all this. Pursue a righteous life—a life of wonder, faith, love, steadiness, courtesy. Run hard and fast in the faith. Seize the eternal life, the life you were called to, the life you so fervently embraced in the presence of so many witnesses.
13-16 I’m charging you before the life-giving God and before Christ, who took his stand before Pontius Pilate and didn’t give an inch: Keep this command to the letter, and don’t slack off. Our Master, Jesus Christ, is on his way. He’ll show up right on time, his arrival guaranteed by the Blessed and Undisputed Ruler, High King, High God. He’s the only one death can’t touch, his light so bright no one can get close. He’s never been seen by human eyes—human eyes can’t take him in! Honor to him, and eternal rule! Oh, yes.
17-19 Tell those rich in this world’s wealth to quit being so full of themselves and so obsessed with money, which is here today and gone tomorrow. Tell them to go after God, who piles on all the riches we could ever manage—to do good, to be rich in helping others, to be extravagantly generous. If they do that, they’ll build a treasury that will last, gaining life that is truly life.
20-21 And oh, my dear Timothy, guard the treasure you were given! Guard it with your life. Avoid the talk-show religion and the practiced confusion of the so-called experts. People caught up in a lot of talk can miss the whole point of faith.
Overwhelming grace keep you!

1 Timothy 6:11-21Living Bible (TLB)
11 O Timothy, you are God’s man. Run from all these evil things, and work instead at what is right and good, learning to trust him and love others and to be patient and gentle. 12 Fight on for God. Hold tightly to the eternal life that God has given you and that you have confessed with such a ringing confession before many witnesses.
13 I command you before God, who gives life to all, and before Christ Jesus, who gave a fearless testimony before Pontius Pilate, 14 that you fulfill all he has told you to do so that no one can find fault with you from now until our Lord Jesus Christ returns. 15 For in due season Christ will be revealed from heaven by the blessed and only Almighty God, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone can never die, who lives in light so terrible
that no human being can approach him. No mere man has ever seen him nor ever will. Unto him be honor and everlasting power and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
17 Tell those who are rich not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which will soon be gone, but their pride and trust should be in the living God who always richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. 18 Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and should give happily to those in need, always being ready to share with others whatever God has given them. 19 By doing this they will be storing up real treasure for themselves in heaven—it is the only safe investment for eternity! And they will be living a fruitful Christian life down here as well.
20 Oh, Timothy, don’t fail to do these things that God entrusted to you. Keep out of foolish arguments with those who boast of their “knowledge” and thus prove their lack of it. 21 Some of these people have missed the most important thing in life—they don’t know God.
May God’s mercy be upon you.
Sincerely, Paul
