| # Chapter 1
| Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Savior, and Lord Jesus Christ, who is our hope;
| To Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ 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,
| Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith; so do.
| Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
| From which some having swerved, have turned aside to vain jangling;
| Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor concerning what they affirm.
| But we know that the law is good, if a man useth it lawfully;
| 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 man-slayers,
| For lewd persons, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,
| According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
| And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
| 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 was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is 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.
| However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to them who should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
| Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, God the only wise, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
| This charge I commit to thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mayest war a good warfare;
| Holding faith and a good conscience; which some having put away, concerning faith have made shipwreck:
| Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander; whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

1st Timothy 2
