1. Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and Christ Jesus our hope;
|
2. unto Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
|
3. As I exhorted thee to tarry at Ephesus, when I was going into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge certain men not to teach a different doctrine,
|
4. neither to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questionings, rather than a dispensation of God which is in faith; [so do I now].
|
5. But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned:
|
6. from which things some having swerved have turned aside unto vain talking;
|
7. desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor whereof they confidently affirm.
|
8. But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully,
|
9. as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
|
10. for fornicators, for abusers of themselves with men, for menstealers, for liars, for false swearers, and if there be any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;
|
11. according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
|
12. I thank him that enabled me, [even] Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he counted me faithful, appointing me to [his] service;
|
13. though I was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: howbeit I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief;
|
14. and the grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
|
15. Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief:
|
16. howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me as chief might Jesus Christ show forth all his longsuffering, for an ensample of them that should thereafter believe on him unto eternal life.
|
17. Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, [be] honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
|
18. This charge I commit unto thee, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to thee, that by them thou mayest war the good warfare;
|
19. holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust from them made shipwreck concerning the faith:
|
20. of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I delivered unto Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
