The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to
Timothy
Chapter 1
| 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 wage a good warfare; |
| 19 | Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: |
| 20 | Of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme. |
