Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on 1 Timothy 6:10-19

10For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.
11But you, O man of God, flee from these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.
12Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made the good confession before many witnesses.
13I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who made the good confession in His testimony before Pontius Pilate:
14Keep this commandment without stain or reproach until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15which the blessed and only Sovereign One — the King of kings and Lord of lords — will bring about in His own time.
16He alone is immortal and dwells in unapproachable light. No one has ever seen Him, nor can anyone see Him. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.
17Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be conceited and not to put their hope in the uncertainty of wealth, but in God, who richly provides all things for us to enjoy.
18Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, and to be generous and ready to share,
19treasuring up for themselves a firm foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.
