1TI 01:01  Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of

God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, [which is] our hope; 01:

02

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

peace,

from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

1TI 01:03  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 01:04  Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies,

which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in

faith: [so do].

1TI 01:05  Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a

pure

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

1TI 01:06  From which some having swerved have turned aside unto

vain jangling;

1TI 01:07  Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding

neither

what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

1TI 01:08  But we know that the law [is] good, if a man use it

lawfully;

1TI 01:09  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 01:10  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 01:11  According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God,

which was committed to my trust.

1TI 01:12  And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled

me,

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

1TI 01:13  Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and

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

unbelief.

1TI 01:14  And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with

faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

1TI 01:15  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 01:16  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 01:17  Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the

only

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

1TI 01:18  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 01:19  Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some

having

put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:

1TI 01:20  Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have

delivered

unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

1TI 02:01  I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications,

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

men;

1TI 02:02  For kings, and [for] all that are in authority; that

we

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

1TI 02:03  For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of God

our

Saviour;

1TI 02:04  Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto

the

knowledge of the truth.

1TI 02:05  For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God

and

men, the man Christ Jesus;

1TI 02:06  Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in

due

time.

1TI 02:07  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 02:08  I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up

holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

1TI 02:09  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 02:10  But (which becometh women professing godliness) with

good

works.

1TI 02:11  Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

1TI 02:12  But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp

authority

over the man, but to be in silence.

1TI 02:13  For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

1TI 02:14  And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being

deceived

was in the transgression.

1TI 02:15  Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if

they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

1TI 03:01  This [is] a true saying, If a man desire the office

of a

bishop, he desireth a good work.

1TI 03:02  A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one

wife,

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

teach;

1TI 03:03  Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy

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

1TI 03:04  One that ruleth well his own house, having his

children

in subjection with all gravity;

1TI 03:05  (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how

shall he take care of the church of God?)

1TI 03:06  Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall

into the condemnation of the devil.

1TI 03:07  Moreover he must have a good report of them which are

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

1TI 03:08  Likewise [must] the deacons [be] grave, not

doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy

lucre;

1TI 03:09  Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

1TI 03:10  And let these also first be proved; then let them use

the

office of a deacon, being [found] blameless.

1TI 03:11  Even so [must their] wives [be] grave, not slanderers,

sober, faithful in all things.

1TI 03:12  Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling

their

children and their own houses well.

1TI 03:13  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 03:14  These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto

thee

shortly:

1TI 03:15  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 03:16  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 04:01  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 04:02  Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience

seared with a hot iron;

1TI 04:03  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 04:04  For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be

refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

1TI 04:05  For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

1TI 04:06  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 04:07  But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise

thyself [rather] unto godliness.

1TI 04:08  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 04:09  This [is] a faithful saying and worthy of all

acceptation.

1TI 04:10  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 04:11  These things command and teach.

1TI 04:12  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 04:13  Till I come, give attendance to reading, to

exhortation,

to doctrine.

1TI 04:14  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 04:15  Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to

them;

that thy profiting may appear to all.

1TI 04:16  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 05:01  Rebuke not an elder, but entreat [him] as a father;

[and]

the younger men as brethren;

1TI 05:02  The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters,

with

all purity.

1TI 05:03  Honour widows that are widows indeed.

1TI 05:04  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 05:05  Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate,

trusteth in

God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.

1TI 05:06  But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she

liveth.

1TI 05:07  And these things give in charge, that they may be

blameless.

1TI 05:08  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 05:09  Let not a widow be taken into the number under

threescore

years old, having been the wife of one man,

1TI 05:10  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 05:11  But the younger widows refuse: for when they have

begun

to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;

1TI 05:12  Having damnation, because they have cast off their

first

faith.

1TI 05:13  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 05:14  I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear

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

speak reproachfully.

1TI 05:15  For some are already turned aside after Satan.

1TI 05:16  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 05:17  Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of

double

honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

1TI 05:18  For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox

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

reward.

1TI 05:19  Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before

two or three witnesses.

1TI 05:20  Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may

fear.

1TI 05:21  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 05:22  Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of

other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

1TI 05:23  Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy

stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.

1TI 05:24  Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to

judgment; and some [men] they follow after.

1TI 05:25  Likewise also the good works [of some] are manifest

beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

1TI 06:01  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 06:02  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 06:03  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 06:04  He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about

questions

and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil

surmisings,

1TI 06:05  Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and

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

such

withdraw thyself.

1TI 06:06  But godliness with contentment is great gain.

1TI 06:07  For we brought nothing into [this] world, [and it is]

certain we can carry nothing out.

1TI 06:08  And having food and raiment let us be therewith

content.

1TI 06:09  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 06:10  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 06:11  But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow

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

1TI 06:12  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 06:13  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 06:14  That thou keep [this] commandment without spot,

unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

1TI 06:15  Which in his times he shall show, [who is] the blessed

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

1TI 06:16  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 06:17  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 06:18  That they do good, that they be rich in good works,

ready

to distribute, willing to communicate;

1TI 06:19  Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation

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

1TI 06:20  O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust,

avoiding profane [and] vain babblings, and oppositions of science

falsely so called:

1TI 06:21  Which some professing have erred concerning the faith.

Grace [be] with thee. Amen.
