1 Timóteo 6

Phillips: the only source of immortality, the one who lives in unapproachable light, the one whom no mortal eye has ever seen or ever can see. To him be acknowledged all honour and power for ever, amen! ( Phillips: Touchstone) TLB: who alone can never die, who lives in light so terrible that no human being can approach him. No mere man has ever seen him nor ever will. Unto him be honor and everlasting power and dominion forever and ever. Amen. Weymouth: who alone possesses immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, and whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be eternal honour and power! Amen.

1 Timóteo 6

Phillips: There is a real profit, of course, but it comes only to those who live contentedly as God would have them live. ( Phillips: Touchstone) TLB: Do you want to be truly rich? You already are if you are happy and good. Weymouth: And godliness is gain, when associated with contentment;

1 Timóteo 6

Phillips: We brought absolutely nothing with us when we entered the world and we can be sure we shall take absolutely nothing with us when we leave it. ( Phillips: Touchstone) TLB: After all, we didn’t bring any money with us when we came into the world, and we can’t carry away a single penny when we die. Weymouth: for we brought nothing into the world, nor can we carry anything out of it;

1 Timóteo 6

Phillips: Surely then, as far as physical things are concerned, it is sufficient for us to keep our bodies fed and clothed. ( Phillips: Touchstone) TLB: So we should be well satisfied without money if we have enough food and clothing. Weymouth: and if we have food and clothing, with these we will be satisfied.

1 Timóteo 6

Phillips: But you, the man of God, keep clear of such things. Set your heart not on riches, but on goodness, Christ-likeness, faith, love, patience and humility. ( Phillips: Touchstone) TLB: O Timothy, you are God’s man. Run from all these evil things, and work instead at what is right and good, learning to trust him and love others and to be patient and gentle. Weymouth: But you, O man of God, must flee from these things; and strive for uprightness, godliness, good faith, love, fortitude, and a forgiving temper.

1 Timóteo 6

Phillips: . Fight the worthwhile battle of the faith, keep your grip on that life eternal to which you have been called, and to which you boldly professed your loyalty before many witnesses ( Phillips: Touchstone) TLB: Fight on for God. Hold tightly to the eternal life that God has given you and that you have confessed with such a ringing confession before many witnesses. Weymouth: Exert all your strength in the honourable struggle for the faith; lay hold of the Life of the Ages, to which you were called, when you made your noble profession of faith before many witnesses.

1 Timóteo 6

Phillips: I charge you in the sight of God who gives us life, and Jesus Christ who fearlessly witnessed to the truth before Pontius Pilate, ( Phillips: Touchstone) TLB: I command you before God, who gives life to all, and before Christ Jesus, who gave a fearless testimony before Pontius Pilate Weymouth: I charge you—as in the presence of God who gives life to all creatures, and of Christ Jesus who at the bar of Pontius Pilate made a noble profession of faith—

1 Timóteo 6

Phillips: to keep your commission clean and above reproach until the final coming of Christ. ( Phillips: Touchstone) TLB: that you fulfill all he has told you to do so that no one can find fault with you from now until our Lord Jesus Christ returns. Weymouth: that you keep God's commandments stainlessly and without reproach till the Appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Timóteo 6

Phillips: This will be, in his own time, the final denouement of God, who is the blessed controller of all things, the king over all kings and the master of all masters, ( Phillips: Touchstone) TLB: For in due season Christ will be revealed from heaven by the blessed and only Almighty God, the King of kings and Lord of lords, Weymouth: I charge you—as in the presence of God who gives life to all creatures, and of Christ Jesus who at the bar of Pontius Pilate made a noble profession of faith—

1 Timóteo 6:6-8

1 Timóteo 6:9

Phillips: For men who set their hearts on being wealthy expose themselves to temptation. They fall into one of the world's traps, and lay themselves open to all sorts of silly and wicked desires, which are quite capable of utterly ruining and destroying their souls. ( Phillips: Touchstone) TLB: But people who long to be rich soon begin to do all kinds of wrong things to get money, things that hurt them and make them evil-minded and finally send them to hell itself. Weymouth: But people who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many unwise and pernicious ways which sink mankind in destruction and ruin.

1 Timóteo 6:10

Phillips: For loving money leads to all kinds of evil, and some men in the struggle to be rich have lost their faith and caused themselves untold agonies of mind. ( Phillips: Touchstone) TLB: For the love of money is the first step toward all kinds of sin. Some people have even turned away from God because of their love for it, and as a result have pierced themselves with many sorrows. Weymouth: For from love of money all sorts of evils arise; and some have so hankered after money as to be led astray from the faith and be pierced through with countless sorrows.

1 Timóteo 6:17-21

Phillips: Tell those who are rich in this present world not to be contemptuous of others, and not to rest the weight of their confidence on the transitory power of wealth but on the living God, who generously gives us everything for our enjoyment. ( Phillips: Touchstone) TLB: Tell those who are rich not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which will soon be gone, but their pride and trust should be in the living God who always richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. Weymouth: Impress on those who are rich in the present age that they must not be haughty nor set their hopes on riches—that unstable foundation—but on God who provides us richly with all things for our enjoyment.

1 Timóteo 6:17-21

Phillips: Tell them to do good, to be rich in kindly actions, to be ready to give to others and to sympathise with those in distress. ( Phillips: Touchstone) TLB: Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and should give happily to those in need, always being ready to share with others whatever God has given them. Weymouth: They must be beneficent, rich in noble deeds, open-handed and liberal;

1 Timóteo 6:17-21

Phillips: Their security should be invested in the life to come so that they may be sure of holding a share in the life which is permanent. ( Phillips: Touchstone) TLB: By doing this they will be storing up real treasure for themselves in heaven—it is the only safe investment for eternity! And they will be living a fruitful Christian life down here as well. Weymouth: storing up for themselves that which shall be a solid foundation for the future, that they may lay hold of the Life which is life indeed.

1 Timóteo 6:17-21

Phillips: O Timothy, guard most carefully your divine commission. Avoid the Godless mixture of contradictory notions which is falsely known as "knowledge" ( Phillips: Touchstone) TLB: Oh, Timothy, don’t fail to do these things that God entrusted to you. Keep out of foolish arguments with those who boast of their "knowledge" and thus prove their lack of it. Weymouth: O Timothy, guard the truths entrusted to you, shunning irreligious and frivolous talk, and controversy with what is falsely called 'knowledge';

1 Timóteo 6:17-21

Phillips: some have followed it and lost their faith. Grace be with you. ( Phillips: Touchstone) TLB: Some of these people have missed the most important thing in life—they don’t know God. May God’s mercy be upon you. Sincerely, Paul Weymouth: of which some have spoken boastfully in connexion with the true faith, and have erred. Grace be with you all.
