CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

1 Timothy 6

Paul instructs servants to honor masters so the gospel is not blasphemed, warns against teachers obsessed with controversy and financial gain, and declares that godliness with contentment is great gain. The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Timothy must flee these things, fight the good fight of faith, charge the rich not to trust riches, and guard the deposit committed to him.
