| 1 | Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ which is our hope; |
| 2 | Unto Timothy my own son in the faith: Grace mercy and peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. |
| 3 | As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus when I went into Macedonia that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine"
1 Timothy14"Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies which minister questions rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. |
| 5 | Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart and of a good conscience and of faith unfeigned: |
| 6 | From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; |
| 7 | Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say nor whereof they affirm. |
| 8 | But we know that the law is good if a man use it lawfully; |
| 9 | Knowing this that the law is not made for a righteous man but for the lawless and disobedient for the ungodly and for sinners for unholy and profane for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers for manslayers"
1 Timothy110"For whoremongers for them that defile themselves with mankind for menstealers for liars for perjured persons and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; |
| 11 | According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust. |
| 12 | And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who hath enabled me for that he counted me faithful putting me into the ministry; |
| 13 | Who was before a blasphemer and a persecutor and injurious: but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. |
| 14 | And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. |
| 15 | This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. |
| 16 | Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. |
| 17 | Now unto the King eternal immortal invisible the only wise God be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. |
| 18 | This charge I commit unto thee son Timothy according to the prophecies which went before on thee that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; |
| 19 | Holding faith and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: |
| 20 | Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme. |
