1 Timothy 6:3 in Context — 1 Timothy 6

1 Que tous ceux qui sont sous le joug de la servitude regardent leurs maîtres comme dignes de tout honneur, afin que le nom de Dieu et la doctrine ne soient pas blasphémés.

2 Et que ceux qui ont des fidèles pour maîtres ne les méprisent pas, sous prétexte qu’ils sont frères; mais qu’ils les servent d’autant mieux que ce sont des fidèles et des bien-aimés qui s’attachent à leur faire du bien. Enseigne ces choses et recommande-les.

3 Si quelqu’un enseigne de fausses doctrines, et ne s’attache pas aux saines paroles de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ et à la doctrine qui est selon la piété,

4 il est enflé d’orgueil, il ne sait rien, et il a la maladie des questions oiseuses et des disputes de mots, d’où naissent l’envie, les querelles, les calomnies, les mauvais soupçons,

5 les vaines discussions d’hommes corrompus d’entendement, privés de la vérité, et croyant que la piété est une source de gain.
