(1ti 1:1) Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, {which is} our hope;
(1ti 1:2) Unto Timothy, {my} own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, {and} peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
(1ti 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,
(1ti 1:4) Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: {so do}.
(1ti 1:5) Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and {of} a good conscience, and {of} faith unfeigned:
(1ti 1:6) From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
(1ti 1:7) Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
(1ti 1:8) But we know that the law {is} good, if a man use it lawfully;
(1ti 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 manslayers,
(1ti 1:10) 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;
(1ti 1:11) According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
(1ti 1:12) And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
(1ti 1:13) Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did {it} ignorantly in unbelief.
(1ti 1:14) And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
(1ti 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.
(1ti 1:16) 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.
(1ti 1:17) Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, {be} honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
(1ti 1:18) 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;
(1ti 1:19) Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
(1ti 1:20) Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
