10For the love of money is a root of all evil: and some whose hearts were fixed on it have been turned away from the faith, and been wounded with unnumbered sorrows.
11But you, O man of God, keep yourself from these things, and go after righteousness, religion, faith, love, a quiet mind, gentle behaviour.
12Be fighting the good fight of the faith; take for yourself the life eternal, for which you were marked out, and of which you gave witness in the eyes of all.
13I give you orders before God, the giver of life, and Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate gave witness to the faith,
14To keep the word untouched by evil, clear from all shame, till the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ:
15Which at the right time he will make clear, who is the eternal and only Ruler, King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16Who only has life for ever, living in light to which no man may come near; whom no man has seen or is able to see: to whom be honour and power for ever. So be it.
