This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1 TIMOTHY CHAPTER 6
1Ti_6:1,2 The duty of servants.
1Ti_6:3-5 Those who teach not according to the apostle’s doctrine
are to be avoided, as corrupters of Christianity.
1Ti_6:6-8 The gain of godliness with content.
1Ti_6:9,10 The evil of covetousness.
1Ti_6:11-16 What Timothy is to flee, and what to follow and perform.
1Ti_6:17-19 A charge to the rich not to be proud and confident in
their riches, but to be beneficent and liberal.
1Ti_6:20,21 Timothy is enjoined to adhere to the true faith, and
to shun profane and vain controversies.
Let as many servants as are under the yoke; under the yoke of servitude, not being manumised, or made free.
Count their own masters worthy of all honour; abundant honour: let Christian servants give their masters, instead of less, double the honour which pagan servants do. That the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed; for the credit of the gospel, and for the honour of God; that none may say that religion teacheth servants any disobedience, or breaketh the bands of civil relations: but on the contrary, that it obligeth professors to a more faithful and full discharge of such duties, servants to be the best of servants, &c.
