The Christian Standard Bible aims to draw readers into a deeper, more meaningful relationship with God. By translating Scripture into the clearest possible modern English, the CSB allows readers to experience God’s Word at its fullest. Developed by 100 scholars from 17 denominations, the Christian Standard Bible faithfully and accurately captures the Bible’s original meaning without compromising readability. The CSB was created using Optimal Equivalence, a translation philosophy that balances linguistic precision to the original languages and readability in contemporary English. In the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for- word rendering is clearly understandable, a literal translation is used. When a word- for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, a more dynamic translation is used. This process assures that both the words and thoughts contained in the original text are conveyed as accurately as possible for today’s readers. The CSB provides a highly accurate text for sermon preparation and serious study, translated from the biblical languages by scholars who love God’s Word. Yet it doesn’t compromise readability and clarity for those who may be less familiar with the traditional (and sometimes difficult) vocabulary retained in some translations. Research shows the CSB is both highly literal to the original languages and highly readable, achieving an optimal balance of the two. Pastors and laypeople can read and share the Christian Standard Bible with confidence, knowing truth of God’s Word will be communicated effectively. For a more information, visit CSBible.com

All who are under the yoke as slaves should regard their own masters  as worthy of all respect, so that God’s name  and his teaching will not be blasphemed. Let those who have believing masters not be disrespectful to them because they are brothers, but serve them even better, since those who benefit from their service are believers and dearly loved.  ,

Teach and encourage these things. If anyone teaches false doctrine and does not agree with the sound teaching of our Lord  Jesus Christ and with the teaching that promotes godliness,  he is conceited and understands nothing, but has an unhealthy interest in disputes and arguments over words.  From these come envy,  quarreling,  slander,  evil suspicions, and constant disagreement among people whose minds are depraved and deprived of the truth, who imagine that godliness is a way to material gain.  , But godliness with contentment is great gain.  For we brought nothing into the world, and  we can take nothing out.  If we have food and clothing,  we will be content with these. But those who want to be rich fall into temptation, a trap, and many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root  of all kinds of evil, and by craving it, some have wandered away from the faith  and pierced themselves with many griefs.

But you, man of God, flee from these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love,  endurance,  and gentleness. Fight the good fight  of the faith. Take hold of eternal life  to which you were called and about which you have made a good confession in the presence of many witnesses. In the presence of God, who gives life to all,  and of Christ Jesus, who gave a good confession before Pontius Pilate,  I charge you to keep this command without fault or failure until the appearing  of our Lord  Jesus Christ. God will bring this about in his own time.  He is the blessed and only  Sovereign, the King of kings,  and the Lord of lords,  who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light,  whom no one has seen or can see,  to him be honor and eternal power.  Amen. 

Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be arrogant  or to set their hope on the uncertainty of wealth, but on God,  who richly provides us with all things  to enjoy. Instruct them to do what is good, to be rich in good works,  to be generous and willing to share,  storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the coming age,  so that they may take hold of what is truly life.

Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you,  avoiding  irreverent and empty speech and contradictions from what is falsely called knowledge.  By professing it, some  people have departed from the faith. 
Grace be with you all.
