CHAPTER TIMOTHY 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,
4
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,
10
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.
CHAPTER TIMOTHY 2
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions,
and
giving of thanks, be
made for all men;
2
For kings, and
for
all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable
life in all godliness and honesty.
3
For this
is
good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5
For
there is
one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6
Who gave himself a
ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
7
Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle,
