Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;1 Timothy 1:1

Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.1 Timothy 1:2

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,1 Timothy 1:3

Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.1 Timothy 1:4

Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:1 Timothy 1:5

From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;1 Timothy 1:6

Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.1 Timothy 1:7

But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;1 Timothy 1:8

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,1 Timothy 1:9

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;1 Timothy 1:10

According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.1 Timothy 1:11

And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;1 Timothy 1:12

Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.1 Timothy 1:13

And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.1 Timothy 1:14

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.1 Timothy 1:15

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.1 Timothy 1:16

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.1 Timothy 1:17

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;1 Timothy 1:18

Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:1 Timothy 1:19

Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.1 Timothy 1:20
