1
Paul,
an
apostle
of
Jesus
Christ
by
the
commandment
of
God
our
Saviour,
and
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
[which
is]
our
hope;
2
Unto
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
unto
vain
jangling;
7
Desiring
to
be
teachers
of
the
law;
understanding
neither
what
they
say,
nor
whereof
they
affirm.
8
But
we
know
that
the
law
[is]
good,
if
a
man
use
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
manslayers,
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;
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
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.
17
Now
unto
the
King
eternal,
immortal,
invisible,
the
only
wise
God,
[be]
honour
and
glory
for
ever
and
ever.
Amen.
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;
19
Holding
faith,
and
a
good
conscience;
which
some
having
put
away
concerning
faith
have
made
shipwreck:
20
Of
whom
is
Hymenaeus
and
Alexander;
whom
I
have
delivered
unto
Satan,
that
they
may
learn
not
to
blaspheme.
