First Letter to Timothy    6: 11-16

6:11 But you, O man of God, flee from these things, and truly pursue justice, piety, faith, charity, patience, meekness.
6:12 Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you have been called, and make a good profession of faith in the sight of many witnesses.
6:13 I charge you, in the sight of God, who enlivens all things, and in the sight of Christ Jesus, who gave the testimony of a good profession under Pontius Pilate,
6:14 to observe the commandment, immaculately, irreproachably, unto the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
6:15 For at the proper time, he shall reveal the blessed and only Power, the King of kings and the Lord of lords,
6:16 who alone holds immortality, and who inhabits the inaccessible light, whom no man has seen, nor even is able to see, to whom is honor and everlasting dominion. Amen.
