Do Modern Bible Versions Intentionally Mistranslate 1 Timothy 6:19?

The YouTube channel “abide in the Word” has recently made a video claiming that modern Bible versions (NIV, ESV, NASB, etc.) have “willfully, flagrantly, knowingly adulterated the word of God” through their translation of 1 Timothy 6:19.
