| 1:1 |
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Savior, and Lord Jesus Christ, [who is] our hope;
|
| 1:2 |
To Timothy, [my] own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
|
| 1:3 |
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,
|
| 1:4 |
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith; [so do].
|
| 1:5 |
Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and [of] a good conscience, and [of] faith unfeigned:
|
| 1:6 |
From which some having swerved, have turned aside to vain jangling;
|
| 1:7 |
Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor concerning what they affirm.
|
| 1:8 |
But we know that the law [is] good, if a man useth it lawfully;
|
| 1:9 |
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 man-slayers,
|
| 1:10 |
For lewd persons, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,
|
| 1:11 |
According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
|
| 1:12 |
And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
|
| 1:13 |
Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did [it] ignorantly in unbelief:
|
| 1:14 |
And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
|
| 1:15 |
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.
|
| 1:16 |
However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to them who should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
|
| 1:17 |
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, God the only wise, [be] honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
|
| 1:18 |
This charge I commit to thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mayest war a good warfare;
|
| 1:19 |
Holding faith and a good conscience; which some having put away, concerning faith have made shipwreck:
|
| 1:20 |
Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander; whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
