1 | Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope; | our hope |
2 | Unto Timothy, my own son in
the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and
Jesus
Christ our Lord.

Timothy |
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, | abide still at Ephesus doctrine |
4 | Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. | fables and endless genealogies |
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; | defile themselves with mankind menstealers |
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. | a faithful saying 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. | only wise God |
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: | good conscience |
20 | Of whom is
Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they
may
learn not to blaspheme.
|
Hymenaeus delivered unto Satan |
