1st Sunday in November
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1 Timothy 6:6-19

But godliness actually is a means of great gain, when accompanied by contentment.
For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it
either. And if we have food and covering, with these we shall be content.

But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish
and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of
money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered
away from the faith, and pierced themselves with many a pang. But flee from these
things, you man of God; and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance
and gentleness.

Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called,
and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. I charge you
in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who
testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep the commandment
without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which He
will bring about at the proper time-- He who is the blessed and only Sovereign,
the King of kings and Lord of lords; who alone possesses immortality and dwells
in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal
dominion! Amen.

Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix
their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with
all things to enjoy. Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be
generous and ready to share, storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation
for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed. 1 Timothy
6:6- 19 (NAS)

Easy-to-Read Version:

It is true that serving God makes a person very rich, if that person is satisfied
with what he has. When we came into the world, we brought nothing. And when we die,
we can take nothing out. So, if we have food and clothes, we will be satisfied with
that.

People who want to become rich bring temptations to themselves. They are caught
in a trap. They begin to want many foolish things that will hurt them. Those things
ruin and destroy people. The love of money causes all kinds of evil. Some people
have left the true faith (teaching) because they want to get more and more money.
But they have caused themselves to be very, very sad. But you are a man of God.
So you should stay away from all those things. Try to live in the right way, serve
God, have faith, love, patience, and gentleness.

Keeping your faith is like running a race. Try as hard as you can to win that race.
Be sure you get that life that continues forever. You were called to have that life.
And you confessed the great truth [about Christ] in a way that many people heard
you. Before God and Christ Jesus I give you a command. Christ Jesus is the One
that confessed that same great truth when he stood before Pontius Pilate. And God
is the One that gives life to everything. Now I tell you: Do the things you were
commanded to do. Do those things without wrong or blame until the time when our
Lord Jesus Christ comes again. God will make that happen at the right time. God
is the blessed and only Ruler. God is the King of all kings and the Lord of all
lords (rulers). God is the only One who never dies. God lives in light so bright
that men cannot go near it. No person has ever seen God. No person is able to see
God. Honor to God and power forever. Amen.

Give this command to the people who are rich with the things this world has. Tell
them not to be proud. Tell those rich people to hope in God, not their money. Money
cannot be trusted. But God takes care of us richly. He gives us everything to enjoy.
Tell the rich people to do good. Tell them to be rich in doing good things. And
tell them to be happy to give and ready to share. By doing that they will be saving
a treasure for themselves [in heaven]. That treasure will be a strong foundation--their
future life can be built on that treasure. Then they will be able to have the life
that is true life. 1 Timothy 6:6-19 (ERV)
