King James Version
Paul, an apostle of Christ
Jesus by the command
of God our Savior
and of
Christ
Jesus our hope ,
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ
by the commandment
of God our Saviour,
and Lord
Jesus Christ,
which
is
our hope ;
To
Timothy, my true
child
in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the
Father and Christ
Jesus our Lord.
Unto
Timothy, my own
son
in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace ,
from God our
Father and Jesus Christ
our Lord.
As I urged
you
on
my
departure
to Macedonia,
you
should
stay
on
at Ephesus to
instruct
certain
men
not
to
teach false
doctrines
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,
or
devote
themselves
to myths
and endless genealogies, which promote
speculation
rather than the
stewardship
of
God’s
work,
which is by
faith.
Neither
give
heed
to fables
and endless genealogies, which minister
questions,
rather than godly
edifying
which is in
faith :
so
do
.
The goal
of our
instruction
is
the love
that
comes
from
a pure heart, a clear
conscience, and a
sincere
faith .
Now
the end
of the commandment
is
charity
out
of
a pure heart, and
of
a good
conscience, and of
faith unfeigned:
Some have strayed
from
these
ways
and
turned aside to
empty
talk.
From
which
some having
swerved
have turned aside unto
vain
jangling;
They
want
to be teachers of the law ,
but
they
do
not
understand
what they are
saying
or
that
which
they so
confidently
assert
.
Desiring
to be teachers of the law ;
understanding
neither
what they say,
nor
whereof
they affirm
.
Now
we know that the law is good, if one
uses
it legitimately.
But
we know that the law is good, if a
man
use
it lawfully;
We
realize
that law is not enacted
for the
righteous, but for the lawless and rebellious
, for the ungodly and sinful
, for the
unholy and profane, for killers
of father
or
mother
, for murderers
,
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
,
for the
sexually
immoral
, for homosexuals
, for slave
traders
and
liars and
perjurers
, and
for anyone
else
who
is averse
to sound teaching
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;
that
agrees
with
the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with
which I
have
been
entrusted
.
According
to
the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was
committed
to
my
trust
.
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has
strengthened
me, that He considered
me faithful and
appointed
me to
service.
And
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath
enabled
me, for
that he counted
me faithful ,
putting
me into
the
ministry;
I
was formerly
a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a
violent
man;
yet
because I had
acted
in ignorance
and
unbelief ,
I
was
shown
mercy
.
Who
was before
a blasphemer, and
a persecutor, and injurious:
but
I
obtained
mercy,
because I did
it
ignorantly
in unbelief.
And the grace of our Lord overflowed
to
me,
along
with the
faith and love that
are
in Christ Jesus.
And the grace of our Lord was
exceeding
abundant
with faith and love which
is
in Christ Jesus.
This is a trustworthy
saying, worthy of full
acceptance:
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners ,
of whom I am the
worst
.
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
.
But
for this very
reason
I was
shown
mercy, so
that in me ,
the
worst
of
sinners,
Christ
Jesus might display
His
perfect
patience
as
an
example
to those
who
would
believe in
Him for
eternal
life.
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
.
Now to
the King eternal, immortal, and
invisible, the only God, be honor
and glory forever
and ever. Amen.
Now unto
the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise
God, be honour
and glory for
ever
and ever. Amen.
Timothy
, my
child
, I
entrust
you
with
this
command
in
keeping
with
the previous
prophecies about
you
, so
that by them you
may
fight
the
good fight,
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;
holding on
to
faith and a good conscience ,
which some have
rejected
and
thereby
shipwrecked
their
faith .
Holding faith ,
and a good conscience ;
which some having
put
away
concerning
faith have
made
shipwreck:
Among
them
are
Hymenaeus and Alexander ,
whom I have handed
over
to
Satan to
be
taught
not to blaspheme.
Of
whom
is
Hymenaeus and Alexander ;
whom I have delivered
unto
Satan ,
that
they
may
learn
not to blaspheme.
