1 Timothy 6:11-13
EasyEnglish Bible

Continue to serve God

11 But you, Timothy, are a servant of God. So keep away from all bad things like that. Instead, always try to do what is right. Serve God in a way that pleases him. Choose to trust God and to love other people. Continue to be strong when you have trouble. Be kind to people. 12 Continue to believe God's true message. Be like someone who fights well to keep it safe. God has chosen you to live with him for ever. You stood in front of many people and said clearly that you believed in Jesus Christ. So live in a way that shows that you belong to him.

13 Christ Jesus himself spoke God's true message clearly when he stood in front of Pontius Pilate.[a] I now say this to you, in front of God who causes all things to be alive, and in front of Jesus.
