"I charge you before God who gives life to all things and Christ Jesus who made his good confession before Pontius Pilate,"
— 1 Timothy 6:13, NET Bible
“I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;”
“I charge thee in the sight of God, who giveth life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed the good confession; ”
“I command you before God, who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate testified the good confession,”
“I charge thee before God who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus who gave testimony under Pontius Pilate, a good confession:”
“I give you orders before God, the giver of life, and Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate gave witness to the faith,”
“I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;”
For the love of money is the root of all evils. Some people in reaching for it have strayed from the faith and stabbed themselves with many pains.
But you, as a person dedicated to God, keep away from all that. Instead pursue righteousness, godliness, faithfulness, love, endurance, and gentleness.
Compete well for the faith and lay hold of that eternal life you were called for and made your good confession for in the presence of many witnesses.
I charge you before God who gives life to all things and Christ Jesus who made his good confession before Pontius Pilate,
to obey this command without fault or failure until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ
– whose appearing the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, will reveal at the right time.
He alone possesses immortality and lives in unapproachable light, whom no human has ever seen or is able to see. To him be honor and eternal power! Amen.
