What’s Happening
Paul addresses servants and masters briefly, urging conduct that honors God. He then confronts false teachers who treat godliness as financial gain. Paul contrasts greed with contentment and commands Timothy to pursue righteousness and fight the good fight of faith. He ends with a majestic description of God’s sovereignty and a warning to the wealthy.

Verse 1
Let those who labor under strain
Serve with honor, not disdain.
So God’s own name be not defamed,
In quiet faith His truth proclaimed.
Some suppose that godliness
Is gain wrapped up in earthly dress.
But we brought nothing to this land,
And nothing leaves within our hand.
Pre-Chorus
If we have food and clothes to wear,
Let grateful hearts replace despair.
Chorus
Fight the good fight of faith,
Lay hold of eternal grace.
The love of money wounds the soul,
But Christ alone can make you whole.
Flee from pride, pursue what’s right —
Righteousness, love, endurance in light.
Keep the charge till He appears,
The King of kings beyond the years.
Verse 2
Desire for riches snares the heart,
Piercing souls and tearing apart.
But you, O man of God, stand clear,
Let holy purpose conquer fear.
Guard what’s been entrusted true,
Not empty talk the proud pursue.
Avoid the knowledge falsely named,
Where faith is lost and truth is shamed.
Bridge
Before the Lord who gives all breath,
Before the Christ who conquered death,
Keep this command without a stain —
Till glory breaks His reign.
Final Chorus
Fight the good fight, steady and strong,
Your hope is not where gold belongs.
He dwells in unapproachable light,
Immortal King of power and might.
Rich in good works, ready to share —
Store up treasure beyond compare.
Grace be with you, stand upright —
And finish well the faithful fight.
