The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy

Return to Index

Chapter 1

1


 

  Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Savior, and Lord Jesus Christ, who is our hope;  

 

 

--

2


 

  To 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 to vain jangling;  

 

 

--

7


 

  Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor concerning what they affirm.  

 

 

--

8


 

  But we know that the law is good, if a man useth 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 man-slayers,  

 

 

--

10


 

  For lewd persons, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there is 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


 

  However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to them who should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.  

 

 

--

17


 

  Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, God the only wise, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.  

 

 

--

18


 

  This charge I commit to thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mayest 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 Hymeneus and Alexander; whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.  

 

 

--

1st Timothy 2
