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