King James Version |   | |
 |
| |
| | 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.
