The Bible, King James version, Book 54: 1 Timothy

      Book 54 1 Timothy

      54:001:001 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;

      54:001:002 Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

      54:001:003 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,

      54:001:004 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

      54:001:005 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

      54:001:006 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;

      54:001:007 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

      54:001:008 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;

      54:001:009 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,

      54:001:010 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;

      54:001:011 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

      54:001:012 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

      54:001:013 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

      54:001:014 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

      54:001:015 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.

      54:001:016 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.

      54:001:017 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

      54:001:018 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;

      54:001:019 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:

      54:001:020 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

      54:002:001 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

      54:002:002 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

      54:002:003 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

      54:002:004 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

      54:002:005 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

      54:002:006 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

      54:002:007 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
