Compare all
13 I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus awho witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate,  
14 that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing,
15 which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only1 Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords,  
16 who alone has immortality, dwelling in aunapproachable light, bwhom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen.  

Instructions to the Rich

17 Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain ariches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things bto enjoy.  
18 Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share,
19 astoring up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

What Does 1 Timothy 6:15 Mean?



1 Timothy 6:15

With a description like this, we have only begun to scratch the surface of the sovereignty of God, especially in its importance to our Christian life and growth. Understanding even a tiny portion of God's glory, wisdom and power is much needed because the god of this world's "Christianity"—a miserable, blasphemous creature and a travesty of the truth—has given us a deceptive picture of Jesus Christ, causing us a great deal of misdirection. Some of the concepts of that false Christ, planted before conversion, remain in our minds, influencing our attitudes and choices.

He has presented a portrait of a helpless effeminate, a maudlin, hand-wringing sentimentalist who is desperately trying to save humanity. If He is as He is portrayed, then He must be constantly disappointed, dissatisfied, and discouraged! In His ineptitude He is being defeated by the very creatures He is supposed to have created and be greater than. Is God so weak that Satan and sin in recalcitrant man thwart His purpose for mankind at every turn?
