1 Timothy 6:2-5

New International Version

² Those who have believing masters should not show them disrespect just because they are fellow believers.^(A) Instead, they should serve them even better because their masters are dear to them as fellow believers and are devoted to the welfare^[a] of their slaves.

False Teachers and the Love of Money

These are the things you are to teach and insist on.^{(B) 3} If anyone teaches otherwise^(C) and does not agree to the sound instruction^(D) of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, ⁴ they are conceited^(E) and understand nothing. They have an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words^(F) that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions ⁵ and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth^(G) and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.
