Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and Christ Jesus our hope; |
2
|
unto Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. |
3
|
As I exhorted thee to tarry at Ephesus, when I was going into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge certain men not to teach a different doctrine, |
4
|
neither to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, the which minister questionings, rather than a dispensation of God which is in faith; {cf15i so do I now}. |
5
|
But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned: |
6
|
from which things some having swerved have turned aside unto vain talking; |
7
|
desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor whereof they confidently affirm. |
8
|
But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully, |
9
|
as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, |
10
|
for fornicators, for abusers of themselves with men, for menstealers, for liars, for false swearers, and if there be any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine; |
11
|
according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust. |
12
|
I thank him that enabled me, {cf15i even} Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he counted me faithful, appointing me to {cf15i his} service; |
13
|
though I was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: howbeit I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief; |
14
|
and the grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. |
15
|
Faithful is the 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 as chief might Jesus Christ shew forth all his longsuffering, for an ensample of them which should hereafter believe on him unto eternal life. |
17
|
Now unto the King eternal, incorruptible, invisible, the only God, {cf15i be} honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. |
18
|
This charge I commit unto thee, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that by them thou mayest war the good warfare; |
19
|
holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust from them made shipwreck concerning the faith: |
20
|
of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I delivered unto Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme. |
