1 Timothy
1
:
1
Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the command of God our Saviour, and of Christ Jesus our hope,
(DB)
1 Timothy
1
:
2
to Timotheus, my true child in faith: grace, mercy, peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
(DB)
1 Timothy
1
:
3
Even as I begged thee to remain in Ephesus, when I was going to Macedonia, that thou mightest enjoin some not to teach other doctrines,
(DB)
1 Timothy
1
:
4
nor to turn their minds to fables and interminable genealogies, which bring questionings rather than further God's dispensation, which is in faith.
(DB)
1 Timothy
1
:
5
But the end of what is enjoined is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith;
(DB)
1 Timothy
1
:
6
which things some having missed, have turned aside to vain discourse,
(DB)
1 Timothy
1
:
7
desiring to be law-teachers, not understanding either what they say or concerning what they so strenuously affirm.
(DB)
1 Timothy
1
:
8
Now we know that the law is good if any one uses it lawfully,
(DB)
1 Timothy
1
:
9
knowing this, that law has not its application to a righteous person, but to the lawless and insubordinate, to the impious and sinful, to the unholy and profane, to smiters of fathers and smiters of mothers; to murderers,
(DB)
1 Timothy
1
:
10
fornicators, sodomites, kidnappers, liars, perjurers; and if any other thing is opposed to sound teaching,
(DB)
1 Timothy
1
:
11
according to the glad tidings of the glory of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.
(DB)
1 Timothy
1
:
12
And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me power, that he has counted me faithful, appointing to ministry him
(DB)
1 Timothy
1
:
13
who before was a blasphemer and persecutor, and an insolent overbearing man: but mercy was shewn me because I did it ignorantly, in unbelief.
(DB)
1 Timothy
1
:
14
But the grace of our Lord surpassingly over-abounded with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus.
(DB)
1 Timothy
1
:
15
Faithful is the word, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the first.
(DB)
1 Timothy
1
:
16
But for this reason mercy was shewn me, that in me, the first, Jesus Christ might display the whole long-suffering, for a delineation of those about to believe on him to life eternal.
(DB)
1 Timothy
1
:
17
Now to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only God, honour and glory to the ages of ages. Amen.
(DB)
1 Timothy
1
:
18
This charge, my child Timotheus, I commit to thee, according to the prophecies as to thee preceding, in order that thou mightest war by them the good warfare,
(DB)
1 Timothy
1
:
19
maintaining faith and a good conscience; which last some, having put away, have made shipwreck as to faith;
(DB)
1 Timothy
1
:
20
of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may be taught by discipline not to blaspheme.
