To Timothy,
my
true
child in the

, and
peace from God the
Father and Christ Jesus our Lord .
to Timotheus
--
genuine
child in faith: Grace, kindness
, peace ,
from God our
Father ,
and Christ Jesus 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
according
as I did
exhort
thee
to remain
in
Ephesus --
I
going
on
to Macedonia
--
that
thou
mightest
charge
certain not to teach any
other
thing,
or
devote
themselves
to myths
and endless genealogies, which
promote
speculation
rather than the stewardship
of God’s
work,
which
is by
faith .
nor
to give
heed
to
fables
and endless genealogies, that
cause
questions
rather than the building
up
of God
that
is in
faith :
--
The goal
of our
instruction
is
the love that
comes
from
a pure heart, a clear
conscience, and a
sincere
faith .
And
the end
of the charge
is
love 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
certain,
having
swerved,
did
turn
aside to vain
discourse,
They
want
to be teachers of the
law, but
they
do
not understand
what
they are
saying
or
that
which
they so
confidently
assert.
willing
to be teachers of law, not understanding
either
the
things
they say,
nor
concerning
what
they asseverate,
Now
we know
that the law is good, if one uses
it legitimately.
and
we have
known
that the law `
is '
good, if any
one may
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
,
having
known
this,
that for
a
righteous
man
law is not set
, but for lawless and insubordinate
persons
, ungodly and sinners
, impious
and profane, parricides
and
matricides
, men-slayers
,
for
the
sexually
immoral
, for
homosexuals
, for
slave
traders
and
liars and
perjurers
, and for
anyone
else
who
is
averse
to sound teaching
whoremongers
, sodomites
, men-stealers,
liars, perjured
persons,
and if
there
be
any
other
thing
that
to sound doctrine
is
adverse,
that
agrees
with
the glorious
gospel
of the blessed God, with which I have
been
entrusted.
according
to
the good
news
of the glory
of
the
blessed God, with which I was
entrusted.
I thank
Christ Jesus our Lord ,
who
has
strengthened
me,
that He considered
me faithful
and
appointed
me to service.
And
I give
thanks
to
him
who
enabled
me
--
Christ Jesus our Lord --
that he did
reckon
me stedfast,
having
put
`
me '
to the
ministration,
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
before
was speaking
evil
, and
persecuting
, and insulting,
but
I
found
kindness,
because ,
being
ignorant,
I did
`it'
in unbelief,
And the grace of our Lord overflowed
to
me
, along
with the
faith and love that are
in Christ Jesus .
and exceedingly
abound
did
the grace of our Lord, with faith and love that `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.
stedfast
`
is '
the
word
, and
of all
acceptation
worthy,
that
Christ Jesus came to
the world to save sinners --
first
of whom I am ;
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 .
but because
of
this I found
kindness
, that in me first
Jesus Christ
might shew
forth
all
long-suffering,
for
a
pattern
of
those about
to
believe on
him to
life age-during:
Now
to the King eternal
, immortal
, and
invisible, the
only God, be
honor
and glory forever
and
ever.
Amen.
and
to the King of
the
ages
, the
incorruptible
, invisible, only wise
God, `is'
honour
and glory --
to
the
ages
of
the
ages!
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
to
thee
, child Timotheus
, according
to
the prophesies
that
went
before
upon
thee
, that thou
mayest
war
in
them the good warfare
,
holding
on
to
faith and a good conscience, which some
have
rejected
and
thereby
shipwrecked
their
faith .
having
faith and a good conscience, which certain
having
thrust
away,
concerning
the
faith did
make
shipwreck,
Among
them
are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have
handed
over
to
Satan
to be taught
not to blaspheme
.
of
whom
are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I did
deliver
to the
Adversary,
that
they
might
be instructed
not to speak
evil
.
