1Timothy 6:3 If any man teach otherwise and consent not to wholesome words.(words that produce good and are sound and sensible), even the words of our Lord.Emmanuel the Christ and to the doctrine which is according to Godliness;

1Timothy 6:4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof comes envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings;

2Peter 2:3 "And through covetousness.(that is, because they are that way).shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you..."
And just who has done this?

1Timothy 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is Godliness, from such withdraw yourself.

1Timothy 6:5.Perverse.disputings.(Barnes Notes: The words 'perverse disputings' properly means mis-employment, that is, employing means to get you into alignment with their ways, which ways are for the gain of not you, but themselves; see verse above).of men of corrupt.(comprised from two original words meaning 'accuse so as to put you down' and 'destroy' or another way they do is to make you think you have been on the wrong pathway and that they can show you 'more light' and in a quicker manner get you to where you want to go in life and this through books, subscriptions, courses and various practices offered to keep you locked into their way of thinking for as long as they can, in order to get more money from you; a keeping you down by subtly blaming you and urging you into what they are offering).minds.(a corrupt mind is one of low consciousness acting selfishly and at disadvantage to others).and destitute of the truth, supposing.that gain is Godliness.(I must be doing alright because things are going well financially and I did it all for the money anyway:.Isaiah 33:15; Ecclesiastes 8:12; comprised from Barnes Notes: Judging the consistency of any course by its tendency to promote outward prosperity; taking the Old Testament maxims to use for gain and teaching their unfounded application in New Testament times, such as Malachi 3:7-10; Amos 2:6-8; 1Timothy 1:7), from such withdraw yourself.

1Timothy 6:6 But Godliness with contentment is great gain.

Doesn't say Godliness with a lot of money (verse 10 below), but with contentment:.2Corinthians 9:8.

1Timothy 6:7 For we brought nothing into this world and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

1Timothy 6:8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith.content.

1Timothy 6:9 But they that will be.(their main purpose for existence is focusing on becoming rich physically not spiritually, which is key to true prosperity in all living areas including physicality).rich fall into temptation.(enticement).and a snare and into many foolish and hurtful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.(that is, take them down the wrong road).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary: Men do not know much of the cunning of the dark side ones and the deceitfulness of their own hearts, when they are tricked by their coveting riches with the idea of being able to do good with them. What can harm those whom God will protect? What can shelter those whom God will destroy?.(there's no place to hide for the evil ones).Jehoshaphat.(2Chronicles 18:31,32).is safe in his robes, yet, Ahab killed in his armor; for the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong:.Ecclesiastes 9:11. We should be cautious of entangling ourselves in the worldly undertakings of evil men and it's even more important to avoid engaging in their evil projects.

Things to avoid: verse 5 above.

2Timothy 2:26.

Hebrews 10:39.

1Timothy 6:10 For the love of money.(the love of money is covetousness; when you love something it is of great concern to you and this robs you of being content:.verse 6 above; 2Peter 3:17).is the root of all evil, which while some coveted.(original for 'coveted after' is 'to give the self up to', that is, avoiding that your true self is your soul).after, they have erred from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Money is not the root of all evil. It has no brain. Money cannot make decisions without human intervention. It's man's attitude about money that can make it evil. When man loves money because he or she sees all it can do for his or her life, this clouds out the truth about the true God and money:.2Corinthians 9:8. Money simply amplifies the energy of the one who controls it. Money is a tool not a master, but some get mastered by it, where aquisition of it is their 'be all end all'.

Matthew 6:11; 6:19,20; 6:25-33; 17:27; Luke 16:11-13; 2Corinthians 3:5; Philippians 4:19.

1Timothy 6:11 But you, O man of God, flee.(get away from).these things and follow after righteousness, Godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

1Timothy 6:12 Fight.(means in the original 'to endeavor', 'to put forth effort':.1Corinthians 9:24-27; 2Timothy 4:7,8).the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto you are also called.(why you're here:.2Timothy 1:9).and have professed a good profession.(presented a good example in words and manner).before many witnesses.(what witnesses?).

The fight of faith means to keep in your heart that it's the faith of Christ that is powerful and one does this by having the mind on that whenever one feels that his or her faith is lacking. The fight of faith is struggling with choices. Don't make the choice away from God and throw your life away:.1Thessalonians 5:6,8; 1Peter 5:8.

Learn from David, Moses, Jonathan, Gideon and Joshua's examples of trusting in God.

And about their physical fighting:.John 18:36.

1Timothy 6:13 I give you charge in the sight of God, who quickens.(word 'quickens' in the original means 'makes alive', 'brings about').all things and before Christ Emmanuel, who before.(or when He was in front of).Pontius Pilate, he witnessed a good confession.(or, put forth his presentation well enough that a lasting impression of his good purposes was left with Pontious).

The example of Emmanuel was always impeccable:.John 13:15; Matthew 5:48; 1Peter 2:21.

Barnes Notes: The same word in the original Greek used here and translated 'confession', is used above in the previous verse and is translated 'profession'.

Clarke's Commentary: When He was in front of Pontius Pilate, what He said was that He was the Messiah, the King and that His kingdom was not of this world and that He would be seen coming in the clouds of heaven to judge the quick and dead:.John 18:36,37; Mark 14:61,62.

1Timothy 6:14 That you keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord.Emmanuel the Christ.

Many back then expected an imminent return of He whom they saw leave Earth to again be in the spiritual realm we call 'heaven'. But when then is His next coming?

1Timothy 6:15 Which in his times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords;

1Timothy 6:16 Who only has immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto, whom no man has seen, nor can see and to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.

1Timothy 6:16 Who only has immortality.(word immortality should not have been used here; proper use of the original is in 2Timothy 1:10, where it means the true only God of all compassion and love is eternal, that without the Creator there would not be eternal life, nor would there be love (1John 4:8-16) for all eternal life and love is in the oneness, the light God is, as expressed on Earth as God's Son, the Holy Spirit and, we in the Son's 'body':.Hebrews 10:5. 

When you're in God you have eternality. Immortality was not a good word to use here as there are evil beings who have immortality, which means they can exist throughout ages, but they lack eternality, which is living in a state of love and goodness forever, so they won't be in what eternity means:.Jude 1:13), dwelling in the light.(original Greek is 'phos' which means 'to make manifest especially by rays' and to 'make known one's thoughts' and 'to bring forth into the light').which no man can approach unto.(because no regular man would even see Him, that is, no physical man on and by his own volition because it's a spiritual thing of God, different frequencies, but when you're in the oneness that's God, well then...) whom no man has seen, nor can see and to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.

Comprised with.Barnes Notes.and.Clarke's Commentary: the "Who only" refers to the oneness. Those in the oneness of God also have immortality:1Corinthians 15:53,54; 2Timothy 1:10. The word here for immortality properly means in the original 'exemption from death' and seems to mean that God in his own nature, enjoys a perfect and certain exemption from death and of course that is true as He is by his very nature, eternal. Sentient creatures have it only as they derive it from Him, from being in Christ. It is one of the essential attributes of His being, that He will always exist and that death is out of the realm of God:.John 5:26 "The Father has life in himself..." 1John 5:11 "And this is the record, that God has given to us eternal life and this life is in his Son." 1Corinthians 2:9.

1Timothy 6:17 Charge them.(bring to their attention).that are rich in this world.(James 5:1), that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches.(people want money so they can live as they want and that's usually got nothing to do with their eternity), but in the living God.(*), who gives us richly all things that are enjoyable.(John 10:10; 3John 1:2; Luke 6:38);

If you don't feel rich in all areas of life, something is wrong and can be fixed. I mean if God is active in an individual, then are you less than God?.(*).Why would anyone then not be rich as God is? God wants that for you, so let's get you on that pathway of continuous joy from now on and without downsides you may have been used to. But when will this come? The reason why anyone is not as rich as God, is because they don't know about the gift God gave them to use. They haven't been awakened to it, nor shown how to use it to bring them all they want from the good side. Many, many others throughout history and increasing numbers of people today were able to discover, in various ways, this gift that really opens up God to an individual.(Acts 3:26), as it did to Job (Job 42:10), Nebuchadnezzar.(Daniel 4:36) and so many others, as discussed about in a free book from Bob Proctor. God knocks on all our doors many times daily, but we avoid letting God in and that's to our detriment. What can we do about this conundrum?

The word 'gives' in the original is 'to put forth in front of us', that is, the things or the tools to use in bringing the rich life out of you, that is, if it's rich in you.

Staying aligned with God, Christ and the Holy Spirit, which all are of love, is the way to receive an abundance of what is considered enjoyable for us:.John 10:10.

1Timothy 6:18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate.(avoid shying away from people; be of sociable mind).

Original 'a partner in sharing, inclined to make others sharers in one's possessions, inclined to impart, free in giving, liberal'.

1Timothy 6:19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against.(toward).the time to come.(original for 'the time to come' is 'caring about'), that they may lay hold on eternal life.

Another translation:.'Build in yourselves a good foundation by caring about the things toward eternal life':.1Peter 1:4; 5:4.

Or, 'lay a strong spiritual foundation down, one based on love, because this will allow you to continue on the pathway toward spiritual maturity':.Ephesians 4:13.

1Timothy 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to your trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings.(empty and worthless discussions).and oppositions of science falsely so called.(like is said today, 'Trust the science', but when there is no science behind it, it's all just opinions.

The criminal groups influencing society toward satanic ways may call their reasonings as based on science, but that's the lie they want you to swallow.

Barnes Notes: The meaning here is, that Timothy was to avoid everything which falsely laid claim to being knowledge or science, as it being untrue, would simply waste one's time. There was much of this in the world at the time the apostle wrote and has also been so today with the theory of the beginning of living organisms, called the theory of evolution and we today also have the covid con, which conned many into getting its poisonings.

Titus 1:14.

1Timothy 6:21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.

This first book of Timothy was written from Laodicea, which is the chiefest city of Phrygia Pacatiana.
