1TI-1:1  Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of

God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is] our hope; 1:2  

Unto Timothy, my] own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and] peace,

 from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

1TI-1:3  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,

1TI-1:4  Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies,

which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in

faith: so do].

1TI-1:5  Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure

heart, and of] a good conscience, and of] faith unfeigned:

1TI-1:6  From which some having swerved have turned aside unto

vain jangling;

1TI-1:7  Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding

neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

1TI-1:8  But we know that the law is] good, if a man use it

lawfully;

1TI-1:9  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,

1TI-1:10  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;

1TI-1:11  According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God,

which was committed to my trust.

1TI-1:12  And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me,

 for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

1TI-1:13  Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and

injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it] ignorantly in

unbelief.

1TI-1:14  And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with

faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

1TI-1:15  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.

1TI-1:16  Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me

first Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering, for a

pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life

everlasting.

1TI-1:17  Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the

only wise God, be] honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

1TI-1:18  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;

1TI-1:19  Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some

having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:

1TI-1:20  Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have

delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

1TI-2:1  I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications,

prayers, intercessions, and] giving of thanks, be made for all

men;

1TI-2:2  For kings, and for] all that are in authority; that we

may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

1TI-2:3  For this is] good and acceptable in the sight of God

our Saviour;

1TI-2:4  Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the

knowledge of the truth.

1TI-2:5  For there is] one God, and one mediator between God and

men, the man Christ Jesus;

1TI-2:6  Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in

due time.

1TI-2:7  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.

1TI-2:8  I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up

holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

1TI-2:9  In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in

modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with

broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

1TI-2:10  But which becometh women professing godliness) with

good works.

1TI-2:11  Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

1TI-2:12  But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp

authority over the man, but to be in silence.

1TI-2:13  For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

1TI-2:14  And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being

deceived was in the transgression.

1TI-2:15  Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if

they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

1TI-3:1  This is] a true saying, If a man desire the office of a

bishop, he desireth a good work.

1TI-3:2  A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one

wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality,

apt to teach;

1TI-3:3  Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy

lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

1TI-3:4  One that ruleth well his own house, having his children

in subjection with all gravity;

1TI-3:5  For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how

shall he take care of the church of God?)

1TI-3:6  Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall

into the condemnation of the devil.

1TI-3:7  Moreover he must have a good report of them which are

without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

1TI-3:8  Likewise must] the deacons be] grave, not doubletongued,

 not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;

1TI-3:9  Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

1TI-3:10  And let these also first be proved; then let them use

the office of a deacon, being found] blameless.

1TI-3:11  Even so must their] wives be] grave, not slanderers,

sober, faithful in all things.

1TI-3:12  Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling

their children and their own houses well.

1TI-3:13  For they that have used the office of a deacon well

purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the

faith which is in Christ Jesus.

1TI-3:14  These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto

thee shortly:

1TI-3:15  But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou

oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the

church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

1TI-3:16  And without controversy great is the mystery of

godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the

Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on

in the world, received up into glory.

1TI-4:1  Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter

times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing

spirits, and doctrines of devils;

1TI-4:2  Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience

seared with a hot iron;

1TI-4:3  Forbidding to marry, and commanding] to abstain from

meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving

of them which believe and know the truth.

1TI-4:4  For every creature of God is] good, and nothing to be

refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

1TI-4:5  For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

1TI-4:6  If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things,

 thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in

the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast

attained.

1TI-4:7  But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise

thyself rather] unto godliness.

1TI-4:8  For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is

profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now

is, and of that which is to come.

1TI-4:9  This is] a faithful saying and worthy of all

acceptation.

1TI-4:10  For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach,

because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all

men, specially of those that believe.

1TI-4:11  These things command and teach.

1TI-4:12  Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example

of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in

spirit, in faith, in purity.

1TI-4:13  Till I come, give attendance to reading, to

exhortation, to doctrine.

1TI-4:14  Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given

thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the

presbytery.

1TI-4:15  Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to

them; that thy profiting may appear to all.

1TI-4:16  Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine;

continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself,

 and them that hear thee.

1TI-5:1  Rebuke not an elder, but entreat him] as a father; and]

the younger men as brethren;

1TI-5:2  The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters,

with all purity.

1TI-5:3  Honour widows that are widows indeed.

1TI-5:4  But if any widow have children or nephews, let them

learn first to show piety at home, and to requite their parents:

for that is good and acceptable before God.

1TI-5:5  Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth

in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and

day.

1TI-5:6  But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she

liveth.

1TI-5:7  And these things give in charge, that they may be

blameless.

1TI-5:8  But if any provide not for his own, and specially for

those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse

than an infidel.

1TI-5:9  Let not a widow be taken into the number under

threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,

1TI-5:10  Well reported of for good works; if she have brought

up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed

the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she

have diligently followed every good work.

1TI-5:11  But the younger widows refuse: for when they have

begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;

1TI-5:12  Having damnation, because they have cast off their

first faith.

1TI-5:13  And withal they learn to be] idle, wandering about

from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and

busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

1TI-5:14  I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear

children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary

to speak reproachfully.

1TI-5:15  For some are already turned aside after Satan.

1TI-5:16  If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let

them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it

may relieve them that are widows indeed.

1TI-5:17  Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of

double honour, especially they who labour in the word and

doctrine.

1TI-5:18  For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox

that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is] worthy of his

reward.

1TI-5:19  Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before

two or three witnesses.

1TI-5:20  Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may

fear.

1TI-5:21  I charge thee] before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ,

and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without

preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.

1TI-5:22  Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of

other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

1TI-5:23  Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy

stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.

1TI-5:24  Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to

judgment; and some men] they follow after.

1TI-5:25  Likewise also the good works of some] are manifest

beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

1TI-6:1  Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their

own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his]

doctrine be not blasphemed.

1TI-6:2  And they that have believing masters, let them not

despise them], because they are brethren; but rather do them]

service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the

benefit. These things teach and exhort.

1TI-6:3  If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to

wholesome words, even] the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and

to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

1TI-6:4  He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about

questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife,

railings, evil surmisings,

1TI-6:5  Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and

destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from

such withdraw thyself.

1TI-6:6  But godliness with contentment is great gain.

1TI-6:7  For we brought nothing into this] world, and it is]

certain we can carry nothing out.

1TI-6:8  And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

1TI-6:9  But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a

snare, and into] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men

in destruction and perdition.

1TI-6:10  For the love of money is the root of all evil: which

while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and

pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

1TI-6:11  But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow

after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

1TI-6:12  Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal

life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good

profession before many witnesses.

1TI-6:13  I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth

all things, and before] Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate

witnessed a good confession;

1TI-6:14  That thou keep this] commandment without spot,

unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

1TI-6:15  Which in his times he shall show, who is] the blessed

and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

1TI-6:16  Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which

no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to

whom be] honour and power everlasting. Amen.

1TI-6:17  Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be

not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living

God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

1TI-6:18  That they do good, that they be rich in good works,

ready to distribute, willing to communicate;

1TI-6:19  Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation

against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

1TI-6:20  O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust,

avoiding profane and] vain babblings, and oppositions of science

falsely so called:

1TI-6:21  Which some professing have erred concerning the faith.

Grace be] with thee. Amen.
