054:Book 54

054: 1

054:Timothy Book 54

054:1

054:Timothy 001:001
Paul,
an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour,
and Lord Jesus Christ,
which is our hope;

054:001:002
Unto Timothy,
my own son in the faith:
Grace,
mercy,
and peace,
from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

054:001:003
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,

054:001:004
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies,
which minister questions,
rather than godly edifying which is in faith:
so do.

054:001:005
Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart,
and of a good conscience,
and of faith unfeigned:

054:001:006
From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;

054:001:007
Desiring to be teachers of the law;
understanding neither what they say,
nor whereof they affirm.

054:001:008
But we know that the law is good,
if a man use it lawfully;

054:001:009
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,

054:001:010
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;

054:001:011
According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God,
which was committed to my trust.

054:001:012
And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord,
who hath enabled me,
for that he counted me faithful,
putting me into the ministry;

054:001:013
Who was before a blasphemer,
and a persecutor,
and injurious:
but I obtained mercy,
because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

054:001:014
And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

054:001:015
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.

054:001:016
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.

054:001:017
Now unto the King eternal,
immortal,
invisible,
the only wise God,
be honour and glory for ever and ever.
Amen.

054:001:018
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;

054:001:019
Holding faith,
and a good conscience;
which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:

054:001:020
Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander;
whom I have delivered unto Satan,
that they may learn not to blaspheme.
