First Epistle of St. Paul to Timothy
chapter 1
1
Paul,
an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the commandment of God our Savior, and
of Christ Jesus our hope:
2 To Timothy, his beloved son in faith. Grace, mercy,
and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 As I desired thee to remain at Ephesus when I went
into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some not to teach otherwise,
4 Not to give heed to fables and endless genealogies:
which furnish questions rather than the edification of God, which is in faith.
5 Now the end of the commandment is charity, from a
pure heart, and a good conscience, and an unfeigned faith.
6 From which things some going astray, are turned aside
unto vain babbling:
7 Desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding
neither the things 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 the just
man, but for the unjust and disobedient, for the ungodly, and for sinners, for
the wicked and defiled, for murderers of fathers, and murderers of mothers, for
manslayers,
10 For fornicators, for them who defile themselves with
mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and whatever other
thing is contrary to sound doctrine,
11 Which is according to the gospel of the glory of the
blessed God, which hath been committed to my trust.
12 I give thanks who hath strengthened me, even to
Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he hath counted me faithful, putting me in the
ministry;
13 Who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and
contumelious. But I obtained the mercy of God, because I did it ignorantly in
unbelief.
14 Now the grace of our Lord hath abounded exceedingly
with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus.
15 A faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation,
that Christ Jesus came into this world to save sinners, of whom I am the chief.
16 But for this cause have I obtained mercy: that in me
first Christ Jesus might shew forth all patience, for the information of them
that shall believe in him unto life everlasting.
17 Now to the king of ages, immortal, invisible, the
only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
18 This precept I commend to thee, O son Timothy;
according to the prophecies going before on thee, that thou war in them a good
warfare,
19 Having faith and a good conscience, which some
rejecting have made shipwreck concerning the faith.
20 Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have
delivered up to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
