1 Timothy 1

1PaulG3972, an apostleG652 of ChristG5547 JesusG2424 accordingG2596 to the commandmentG2003 of GodG2316 our Saviour, and ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our hopeG1680; 2unto TimothyG5095, my trueG1103 childG5043 in faithG4102: GraceG5485, mercyG1656, peaceG1515, from GodG2316 the FatherG3962 and ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962.

3As I exhortedG3870 thee to tarry at EphesusG2181, when I was goingG4198 into MacedoniaG3109, that thou mightest chargeG3853 certainG5100 men not to teach a different doctrine, 4neither to giveG3930 heed to fables and endless genealogiesG1076, which minister questionings, ratherG3123 than a dispensation of GodG2316 which is in faithG4102; so do I now. 5But the endG5056 of the chargeG3852 isG1510 loveG26 out of a pureG2513 heartG2588 and a goodG18 conscienceG4893 and faithG4102 unfeigned: 6from which thingsG3739 some having swerved have turnedG1624 asideG1624 unto vain talking; 7desiringG2309 to beG1510 teachersG3547 of the lawG3547, though they understandG3539 neither what they sayG3004, nor whereof they confidently affirm. 8But we know that the lawG3551 is goodG2570, if a man useG5530 it lawfullyG3545, 9as knowing this, that lawG3551 is not made for a righteousG1342 manG3778, but for the lawlessG459 and unruly, for the ungodlyG765 and sinnersG268, for the unholyG462 and profaneG952, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10for fornicatorsG4205, for abusers of themselves with men, for menstealers, for liarsG5583, for false swearers, and if there be any otherG2087 thing contrary to the soundG5198 doctrineG1319; 11accordingG2596 to the gospelG2098 of the gloryG1391 of the blessed GodG2316, which was committed to my trust.

12I thankG5485 him that enabled me, even ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962, for that he counted me faithfulG4103, appointing me to his serviceG1248; 13though I wasG1510 before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: howbeit I obtained mercyG1653, because I did it ignorantly in unbeliefG570; 14and the graceG5485 of our LordG2962 abounded exceedingly with faithG4102 and loveG26 which is in ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 15FaithfulG4103 isG1510 the sayingG3056, and worthyG514 of all acceptation, that ChristG5547 JesusG2424 cameG2064 into the worldG2889 to saveG4982 sinnersG268; of whom I amG1510 chief: 16howbeit for this cause I obtained mercyG1653, that in me as chief might JesusG2424 ChristG5547 showG1731 forth all his longsuffering, for an ensample of them that should thereafter believeG4100 on him unto eternalG166 lifeG2222. 17NowG1161 unto the KingG935 eternal, immortalG862, invisibleG517, the onlyG3441 GodG2316, be honorG5092 and gloryG1391 for ever and ever. AmenG281.

18This chargeG3852 I commitG3908 unto thee, my childG5043 TimothyG5095, accordingG2596 to the propheciesG4394 which led the way to thee, that by them thou mayest warG4754 the goodG2570 warfareG4752; 19holdingG2192 faithG4102 and a goodG18 conscienceG4893; which some having thrust from them made shipwreck concerningG4012 the faithG4102: 20of whom isG1510 Hymenæus and AlexanderG223; whom I deliveredG3860 unto SatanG4567, that they might beG1510 taught not to blasphemeG987.
