As I exhorted
you to stay
at

when
I
was
going
into
Macedonia, that
you might
charge
certain men not to teach a
different
doctrine,
As I urged
you on
my
departure
to Macedonia, you should
stay
on
at

stewardship, which is in
faith --

themselves
to myths and endless genealogies, which promote

out
of
a pure heart and
a good
conscience and unfeigned
faith ;
The goal
of our
instruction

love that
comes

having
missed
the
mark,
have turned aside to vain

desiring
to be teachers of the law, though
they understand neither
what they say,
nor
about
what
they strongly
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
.

we know that the law is good, if a
man
uses it lawfully,

we know that the law is good, if one
uses it legitimately.
as
knowing
this,
that law is not made

, for the ungodly and sinners
, for the 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 the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave -
traders ,
for
liars ,
for
perjurers, and for any
other
thing
contrary
to the
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 Gospel of the glory
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 him
who
enabled
me,
Christ Jesus our Lord, because
he counted
me faithful ,
appointing
me to service ;
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who
has
strengthened
me,
that
He considered
me faithful and

although
I was before
a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent.
However,
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
.
The grace of our Lord abounded
exceedingly
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.
The
saying
is faithful
and
worthy of all
acceptance ,
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
.
However,
for this cause
I obtained
mercy, that in me first
, Jesus
Christ might display all
his patience ,
for
an example of
those who were
going
to
believe in him for eternal life.
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 to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to
God who
alone
is
wise
, be honor and glory forever 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
to
you
, my child Timothy
, according
to
the prophecies which
led
the
way
to
you, that by them you may wage
the 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
thrust
away
made
a
shipwreck
concerning
the
faith ;
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 delivered
to Satan ,
that
they
might
be taught not to blaspheme.
Among
them
are
Hymenaeus and Alexander ,
whom I have
handed
over
to Satan to
be taught not to blaspheme.
