1 Timothy 6:13-16 CEV
(13) Now I ask you to make a promise. Make it in the presence of God, who gives life to all, and in the presence of Jesus Christ, who openly told Pontius Pilate about his faith.
(14) Promise to obey completely and fully all that you have been told until our Lord Jesus Christ returns.
(15) The glorious God is the only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords. At the time that God has already decided, he will send Jesus Christ back again.
(16) Only God lives forever (is immortal)! And he lives in light that no one can come near. No human has ever seen God or ever can see him. God will be honored, and his power will last forever. Amen.
1 Timothy 6:13-16 GNB
Before God, who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus, who firmly professed his faith before Pontius Pilate, I command you (14) to obey your orders and keep them faithfully until the Day when our Lord Jesus Christ will appear. (15) His appearing will be brought about at the right time by God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and the Lord of lords. (16) He alone is immortal; he lives in the light that no one can approach. No one has ever seen him; no one can ever see him. To him be honor and eternal power! Amen.
1 Timothy 6:13-16 YLT
(13) I charge thee, before God, who is making all things alive, and of Christ Jesus, who did testify before Pontius Pilate the right profession,
(14) that thou keep the command unspotted, unblameable, till the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
(15) which in His own times He shall shew--the blessed and only potentate, the King of the kings and Lord of the lords,
(16) who only is having immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, whom no one of men did see, nor is able to see, to whom is honour and might age-during! Amen.
1 Timothy 6:13-16 ALT
(13) I am giving strict orders to you before God, the One giving life to all [things], and [before] Christ Jesus, the One having testify before Pontius Pilate the good confession,
(14) [for] you to keep the commandment spotless [and] blameless [or, above reproach], until the Appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
(15) which He will reveal in His own times, the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of the ones being kings and Lord of the ones exercising lordship,
(16) the only One having immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no one of people saw nor is able to see, to whom [is] honor and eternal might [or, dominion]! So be it!
1 Timothy 6:13-16 NWT
13 In the sight of God, who preserves all things alive, and of Christ Jesus, who as a witness made the fine public declaration before Pontius Pilate, I give you orders 14 that you observe the commandment in a spotless and irreprehensible way until the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 This [manifestation] the happy and only Potentate will show in its own appointed times, [he] the King of those who rule as kings and Lord of those who rule as lords, 16 the one alone having immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom not one of men has seen or can see. To him be honor and might everlasting. Amen.
1 Timothy 6:13-16 BBE
(13) I give you orders before God, the giver of life, and Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate gave witness to the faith,
(14) To keep the word untouched by evil, clear from all shame, till the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ:
(15) Which at the right time he will make clear, who is the eternal and only Ruler, King of kings, and Lord of lords;
(16) Who only has life for ever, living in light to which no man may come near; whom no man has seen or is able to see: to whom be honour and power for ever. So be it.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
