1 Timothy 6 Summary

1 Timothy 6 closes Paul's pastoral letter with warnings against the love of money, the call to «fight the good fight,» and a charge to the wealthy.

Paul warns about teachers who imagine godliness is gain. «Godliness with contentment is great gain.» The love of money is a root of all kinds of evils.

He charges Timothy: «Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called.» Wealthy believers are to be rich in good works, generous, ready to share — storing up a good foundation for the future.
