1 Timothy 6:15
(Wycliffe Bible 1382)
whom the blessid and aloone miyti king of kyngis
and Lord of lordis schal schewe in his tymes.

translation:

whom the blessed and alone mighty King of Kings
and Lord of Lords shall schow in his times.
(which the blessed and only Sovereign One—the King of kings and Lord of lords—will bring about in His own time.)

summary:

Timothy is to “flee” greed, “pursue righteousness…fight the good fight,” and keep the charge “without spot or blame” until Jesus appears. God is “the blessed and only Sovereign…who alone is immortal and dwells in unapproachable light.”

verses 11-14;16 for context:
But you, O man of God, flee from these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made the good confession before many witnesses. 13 I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who made the good confession in His testimony before Pontius Pilate: 14 Keep this commandment without stain or reproach until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ,
16 He alone is immortal and dwells in unapproachable light. No one has ever seen Him, nor can anyone see Him. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.

1 Timothy 6, penned by the Apostle Paul, serves as a final instruction guide in this epistle to Timothy, highlighting Christian conduct, warnings against false teachings, the pitfalls of the love of money, and the duty of the wealthy in their pursuit of godliness. The chapter underscores the importance of maintaining a Christ-centered life amidst the temptations and distractions of the secular world.

Historical Setting
Paul writes from Macedonia to Timothy in Ephesus (1 Timothy 1:3), likely around AD 63-65, sometime after his first Roman imprisonment (Acts 28). Ephesus was a bustling port city known for trade, banking, and the Temple of Artemis, so issues of wealth, status, and false religion were always in the air.

The Charge and the Confession

• “Fight the good fight” (v. 12) anticipates Paul’s own testimony in 2 Timothy 4:7.
• “The good confession before Pontius Pilate” (v. 13) points to John 18:33-37, where Jesus openly declares His kingship.
• Timothy’s public confession (“before many witnesses”) calls back to his baptism and ordination (1 Timothy 4:14).

God’s Majesty Highlighted (vv. 15-16)

• Titles pile up: “the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords.”
• “He alone is immortal” underscores His self-existing life (Psalm 90:2).
• “Dwells in unapproachable light” recalls Exodus 33:20; no mortal can see God in full glory and live.
• The doxology inspires worship and places Timothy’s struggles in the context of God’s unshakable reign.
