1TI-11 Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of
God our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ which is our hope 12 Unto
Timothy my own son in the faith Grace mercy and peace from God
our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord .
1TI-13 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-14 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies
which minister questions rather than godly edifying which is in
faith so do .
1TI-15 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure
heart and of a good conscience and of faith unfeigned .
1TI-16 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto
vain jangling .
1TI-17 Desiring to be teachers of the law understanding neither
what they say nor whereof they affirm .
1TI-18 But we know that the law is good if a man use it
lawfully .
1TI-19 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-110 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-111 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God
which was committed to my trust .
1TI-112 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who hath enabled me
for that he counted me faithful putting me into the ministry .
1TI-113 Who was before a blasphemer and a persecutor and
injurious but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in
unbelief .
1TI-114 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with
faith and love which is in Christ Jesus .
1TI-115 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-116 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-117 Now unto the King eternal immortal invisible the only
wise God be honour and glory for ever and ever Amen .
1TI-118 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-119 Holding faith and a good conscience which some having
put away concerning faith have made shipwreck .
1TI-120 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander whom I have
delivered unto Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme .
* 1TI-21 I exhort therefore that first of all supplications
prayers intercessions and giving of thanks be made for all men .
1TI-22 For kings and for all that are in authority that we may
lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty .
1TI-23 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our
Saviour .
1TI-24 Who will have all men to be saved and to come unto the
knowledge of the truth .
1TI-25 For there is one God and one mediator between God and
men the man Christ Jesus .
1TI-26 Who gave himself a ransom for all to be testified in due
time .
1TI-27 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-28 I will therefore that men pray every where lifting up
holy hands without wrath and doubting .
1TI-29 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-210 But which becometh women professing godliness with good
works .
1TI-211 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection .
1TI-212 But I suffer not a woman to teach nor to usurp
authority over the man but to be in silence .
1TI-213 For Adam was first formed then Eve .
1TI-214 And Adam was not deceived but the woman being deceived
was in the transgression .
1TI-215 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing if
they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety .
* 1TI-31 This is a true saying If a man desire the office of a
bishop he desireth a good work .
1TI-32 A bishop then must be blameless the husband of one wife
vigilant sober of good behaviour given to hospitality apt to
teach .
1TI-33 Not given to wine no striker not greedy of filthy lucre
but patient not a brawler not covetous .
1TI-34 One that ruleth well his own house having his children
in subjection with all gravity .
1TI-35 For if a man know not how to rule his own house how
shall he take care of the church of God .
1TI-36 Not a novice lest being lifted up with pride he fall
into the condemnation of the devil .
1TI-37 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are
without lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil .
1TI-38 Likewise must the deacons be grave not doubletongued not
given to much wine not greedy of filthy lucre .
1TI-39 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience .
1TI-310 And let these also first be proved then let them use
the office of a deacon being found blameless .
1TI-311 Even so must their wives be grave not slanderers sober
faithful in all things .
1TI-312 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife ruling
their children and their own houses well .
1TI-313 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-314 These things write I unto thee hoping to come unto thee
shortly .
1TI-315 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-316 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-41 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-42 Speaking lies in hypocrisy having their conscience
seared with a hot iron .
1TI-43 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-44 For every creature of God is good and nothing to be
refused if it be received with thanksgiving .
1TI-45 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer .
1TI-46 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-47 But refuse profane and old wives' fables and exercise
thyself rather unto godliness .
1TI-48 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-49 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation .
1TI-410 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-411 These things command and teach .
1TI-412 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-413 Till I come give attendance to reading to exhortation
to doctrine .
1TI-414 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-415 Meditate upon these things give thyself wholly to them
that thy profiting may appear to all .
1TI-416 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-51 Rebuke not an elder but entreat him as a father and
the younger men as brethren .
1TI-52 The elder women as mothers the younger as sisters with
all purity .
1TI-53 Honour widows that are widows indeed .
1TI-54 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-55 Now she that is a widow indeed and desolate trusteth in
God and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day .
1TI-56 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth
.
1TI-57 And these things give in charge that they may be
blameless .
1TI-58 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-59 Let not a widow be taken into the number under
threescore years old having been the wife of one man .
1TI-510 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-511 But the younger widows refuse for when they have begun
to wax wanton against Christ they will marry .
1TI-512 Having damnation because they have cast off their first
faith .
1TI-513 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-514 I will therefore that the younger women marry bear
children guide the house give none occasion to the adversary to
speak reproachfully .
1TI-515 For some are already turned aside after Satan .
1TI-516 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-517 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of
double honour especially they who labour in the word and
doctrine .
1TI-518 For the scripture saith Thou shalt not muzzle the ox
that treadeth out the corn And The labourer is worthy of his
reward .
1TI-519 Against an elder receive not an accusation but before
two or three witnesses .
1TI-520 Them that sin rebuke before all that others also may
fear .
1TI-521 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-522 Lay hands suddenly on no man neither be partaker of
other men's sins keep thyself pure .
1TI-523 Drink no longer water but use a little wine for thy
stomach's sake and thine often infirmities .
1TI-524 Some men's sins are open beforehand going before to
judgment and some men they follow after .
1TI-525 Likewise also the good works of some are manifest
beforehand and they that are otherwise cannot be hid .
* 1TI-61 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-62 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-63 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-64 He is proud knowing nothing but doting about questions
and strifes of words whereof cometh envy strife railings evil
surmisings .
1TI-65 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds and
destitute of the truth supposing that gain is godliness from
such withdraw thyself .
1TI-66 But godliness with contentment is great gain .
1TI-67 For we brought nothing into this world and it is certain
we can carry nothing out .
1TI-68 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content .
1TI-69 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-610 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-611 But thou O man of God flee these things and follow
after righteousness godliness faith love patience meekness .
1TI-612 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-613 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-614 That thou keep this commandment without spot
unrebukeable until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ .
1TI-615 Which in his times he shall show who is the blessed and
only Potentate the King of kings and Lord of lords .
1TI-616 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-617 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-618 That they do good that they be rich in good works ready
to distribute willing to communicate .
1TI-619 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation
against the time to come that they may lay hold on eternal life .
1TI-620 O Timothy keep that which is committed to thy trust
avoiding profane and vain babblings and oppositions of science
falsely so called .
1TI-621 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith
Grace be with thee Amen .
