with
partiality.

(22)Lay hands hastily on no one, neither share in other men's sins.
Keep thyself pure.

(23)No longer drink water only, but use a little wine for thy
stomach's sake, and for thy frequent infirmities.

(24)The sins of some men are openly manifest, going before to
judgment; and some men they follow after. (25)In like manner also the
good works are openly manifest; and those that are otherwise can not
be hidden.

VI.

LET as many as are servants under the yoke count their own masters
worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the teaching be not
blasphemed. (2)And they that have believing masters, let them not
despise them because they are brethren; but the rather do them
service, because they who receive the benefit are faithful and
beloved. These things teach and exhort.

(3)If any one teaches otherwise, and assents not to sound words, the
words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the teaching which is according

(11)But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after
righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness of spirit.
(12)Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the eternal life,
unto which thou wast called, and didst make the good profession before
many witnesses.

(13)I charge thee in the sight of God, who preserves all alive, and of
Jesus Christ, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed the good profession,
(14)that thou keep the commandment without spot, blameless, until the
appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ; (15)which in his own times[6:15]
he will show, who is the blissful and only Potentate, the King of
kings, and Lord of lords; (16)who only has immortality, dwelling in
