1 Timothy 6:5

6:5 and constant bickering by people corrupted in their minds and deprived of the truth, who suppose that godliness ¹  is a way of making a profit.

1 Timothy 6:17

6:17 Command those who are rich in this world’s goods ²  not to be haughty or to set their hope on riches, which are uncertain, ³  but on God who richly provides us with all things for our enjoyment.

[6:5]  ¹ tc Although most witnesses, including some early versions and fathers (D² Ψ Ï sy Cyp Lcf Ambst), have ἀφίστασο ἀπὸ τῶν τοιούτων (afistaso apo’ twn toioutwn, “stay away from such things!”) after εὐσεβείαν (eusebeian, “godliness”; thus, “who suppose that godliness is a way of making a profit; stay away from such things!”), there seems to be little good reason for this clause’s omission in some of the oldest and best witnesses (א A D* F G 048 6 33 81 1175 1739 1881 lat co). It is likely that it crept into the text early, perhaps as a marginal comment, but it should not be considered authentic in light of the strong external evidence against it.

[6:17]  ² tn Grk “in the present age.”

[6:17]  ³ tn Grk “in uncertainty.”
