1 οσοι εισιν υπο ζυγον δουλοι, τους ιδιους δεσποτας πασης τιμης αξιους ηγεισθωσαν, ινα μη το ονομα του θεου και η διδασκαλια βλασφημηται. 2 οι δε πιστους εχοντες δεσποτας μη καταφρονειτωσαν, οτι αδελφοι εισιν, αλλα μαλλον δουλευετωσαν, οτι πιστοι εισιν και αγαπητοι οι της ευεργεσιας αντιλαμβανομενοι. ταυτα διδασκε και παρακαλει. 3 ει τις ετεροδιδασκαλει και μη προσερχεται υγιαινουσιν λογοις τοις του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου και τη κατ ευσεβειαν διδασκαλια, 4 τετυφωται, μηδεν επισταμενος, αλλα νοσων περι ζητησεις και λογομαχιας, εξ ων γινεται φθονος, ερις, βλασφημιαι, υπονοιαι πονηραι, 5 παραδιατριβαι διεφθαρμενων ανθρωπων τον νουν και απεστερημενων της αληθειας, νομιζοντων πορισμον ειναι την ευσεβειαν. αφιστασο απο των τοιουτων. 6 εστιν δε πορισμος μεγας η ευσεβεια μετα αυταρκειας. 7 ουδεν γαρ εισηνεγκαμεν εις τον κοσμον, δηλον οτι ουδε εξενεγκειν τι δυναμεθα· 8 εχοντες δε διατροφας και σκεπασματα, τουτοις αρκεσθησομεθα. 9 οι δε βουλομενοι πλουτειν εμπιπτουσιν εις πειρασμον και παγιδα και επιθυμιας πολλας ανοητους και βλαβερας, αιτινες βυθιζουσιν τους ανθρωπους εις ολεθρον και απωλειαν. 10 ριζα γαρ παντων των κακων εστιν η φιλαργυρια, ης τινες ορεγομενοι απεπλανηθησαν απο της πιστεως και εαυτους περιεπειραν οδυναις πολλαις. 11 συ δε, ω ανθρωπε του θεου, ταυτα φευγε· διωκε δε δικαιοσυνην, ευσεβειαν, πιστιν, αγαπην, υπομονην, πραοτητα. 12 αγωνιζου τον καλον αγωνα της πιστεως· επιλαβου της αιωνιου ζωης, εις ην [και] εκληθης και ωμολογησας την καλην ομολογιαν ενωπιον πολλων μαρτυρων. 13 παραγγελλω σοι ενωπιον του θεου του ζωοποιουντος τα παντα και χριστου ιησου του μαρτυρησαντος επι ποντιου πιλατου την καλην ομολογιαν, 14 τηρησαι σε την εντολην ασπιλον, ανεπιληπτον μεχρι της επιφανειας του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου, 15 ην καιροις ιδιοις δειξει ο μακαριος και μονος δυναστης, ο βασιλευς των βασιλευοντων και κυριος των κυριευοντων, 16 ο μονος εχων αθανασιαν, φως οικων απροσιτον, ον ειδεν ουδεις ανθρωπων ουδε ιδειν δυναται· ω τιμη και κρατος αιωνιον· αμην. 17 τοις πλουσιοις εν τω νυν αιωνι παραγγελλε μη υψηλοφρονειν, μηδε ηλπικεναι επι πλουτου αδηλοτητι, αλλ εν τω θεω τω ζωντι, τω παρεχοντι ημιν παντα πλουσιως εις απολαυσιν, 18 αγαθοεργειν, πλουτειν εν εργοις καλοις, ευμεταδοτους ειναι, κοινωνικους, 19 αποθησαυριζοντας εαυτοις θεμελιον καλον εις το μελλον, ινα επιλαβωνται της αιωνιου ζωης. 20 ω τιμοθεε, την παρακαταθηκην φυλαξον, εκτρεπομενος τας βεβηλους κενοφωνιας και αντιθεσεις της ψευδωνυμου γνωσεως, 21 ην τινες επαγγελλομενοι περι την πιστιν ηστοχησαν. η χαρις μετα σου· αμην.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 6:2 John Chrysostom, Homilies on First Timothy (Homily XVII)

    A teacher has need not only of authority, but of gentleness, and not only of gentleness, but of authority. And all these the blessed Paul teaches, at one time saying, "These things command and teach" (1 Tim. iv.

  2. Quotes verse 6:10 Polycarp of Smyrna, Epistle to the Philippians (The Epistle of Polycarp to the Philippians)

    "But the love of money is the root of all evils." Knowing, therefore, that "as we brought nothing into the world, so we can carry nothing out," let us arm ourselves with the armour of righteousness; and let us teach, first of all, ourselves to walk in the commandments of the Lord.

  3. Quotes verse 6:4 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book III, Chapter XII)

    For by deeds the better man appears, as I have already remarked; and, inasmuch as these men have no works of their father to adduce, the latter is shown to be God alone. But if any one, "doting about questions," do imagine that what the apostles have declared about God should be allegorized, let him consider my previous statements, in …

  4. Quotes verse 6:17–19 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Chapters 9–10)

    … us richly all things to enjoy; that they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life." They who were making such a use of their property have been consoled for light …

  5. Quotes verse 6:16 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LI)

    We draw nigh unto God, "who dwelleth in the light, which no man can approach unto." And we draw nigh unto Him for deliverance from hell, for remission of sins, for escape from those in tolerable punishments, for attaining to the Heavens, and to the good things that are there.
