(10/8)

XIII. A Man of God
  1. But you, O man of God, flee these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, meekness.
  2. Fight the good fight of the faith; lay hold on the eternal life, to which you were called and have confessed the good confession before many witnesses.
  3. I charge you before God, who preserves all things in life, and Christ Jesus, who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate,
  4. To keep the commandment spotless, without reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
  5. Which in its own times the blessed and only Sovereign will show, the King of those who reign as kings and Lord of those who rule as lords,
  6. Who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen nor can see, to whom be honor and eternal might. Amen.
  7. Charge those who are rich in the present age not to be high-minded, nor to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches but on God, who affords us all things richly for our enjoyment;
  8. To do good, to be rich in good works, to be ready to distribute, to be ones willing to share;
  9. Laying away for themselves a good foundation as a treasure for the future, that they may lay hold on that which is really life.
  10. O Timothy, guard the deposit, turning away from profane, vain babblings and oppositions from what is falsely called knowledge,
  11. Because of which some, professing this, have misaimed regarding the faith.
