Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and of Christ Jesus, who is our hope;, |
| 1:2 |
toTo Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. |
| 1:3 |
As I urged you upon my departure for Macedonia, remain on at Ephesus, inso order that you may instruct certain men not to teach strange doctrines, |
| 1:9 |
realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous manperson, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers |
| 1:12 |
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service;, |
| 1:13 |
even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. AndYet yet I was shown mercy, because I acted ignorantly in unbelief; |
| 1:16 |
AndYet yet for this reason I found mercy, inso order that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience, as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life. |
| 1:18 |
This command I entrust to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may fight the good fight, |
| 1:20 |
Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have deliveredhanded over to Satan, so that they maywill be taught not to blaspheme. |
| 2:2 |
for kings and all who are in authority, inso order that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. |
| 2:6 |
who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony bornegiven at the proper time. |
| 2:7 |
AndFor for this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle I am telling the truth, I am not lying as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. |
| 2:9 |
Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments;, |
| 2:10 |
but rather by means of good works, as befitsis proper for women making a claim to godliness. |
| 2:11 |
LetA a woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. |
| 2:14 |
And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being quite deceived, fell into transgression. |
| 2:15 |
But women shallwill be preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with self restraint. |
| 3:3 |
not addicted to wine or pugnacious, but gentle, uncontentiouspeaceable, free from the love of money. |
| 3:5 |
but if a man does not know how to manage his own household, how will he take care of the church of God?;?, |
| 3:6 |
and not a new convert, lestso that he will not become conceited and fall into the condemnation incurred by the devil. |
| 3:7 |
And he must have a good reputation with those outside the church, so that he maywill not fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. |
| 3:10 |
AndThese letmen thesemust also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons if they are beyond reproach. |
| 3:12 |
LetDeacons deaconsmust be husbands of only one wife, and good managers of their children and their own households. |
| 3:15 |
but in case I am delayed, I write so that you maywill know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth. |
| 3:16 |
AndBy by common confession, great is the mystery of godliness: He who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, BeheldSeen by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory. |
| 4:3 |
men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods, which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth. |
| 4:4 |
For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with gratitude; |
| 4:14 |
Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was bestowed uponon you through prophetic utterance with the laying on of hands by the presbytery. |
| 4:15 |
Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress maywill be evident to all. |
| 4:16 |
Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things;, for as you do this you will insureensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you. |
| 5:4 |
but if any widow has children or grandchildren, letthey themmust first learn to practice piety in regard to their own family, and to make some return to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God. |
| 5:5 |
Now she who is a widow indeed, and who has been left alone, has fixed her hope on God, and continues in entreaties and prayers night and day. |
| 5:8 |
But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever. |
| 5:9 |
LetA a widow is to be put on the list only if she is not less than sixty years old, having been the wife of one man, |
| 5:13 |
AndAt at the same time they also learn to be idle, as they go around from house to house; and not merely idle, but also gossips and busybodies, talking about things not proper to mention. |
| 5:16 |
If any woman who is a believer has dependent widows, letshe hermust assist them, and let not the church must not be burdened, so that it may assist those who are widows indeed. |
| 5:17 |
LetThe the elders who rule well are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching. |
| 5:20 |
Those who continue in sin, rebuke in the presence of all, so that the rest also maywill be fearful of sinning. |
| 5:22 |
Do not lay hands upon anyone too hastily and thusthereby share responsibility for the sins of others; keep yourself free from sin. |
| 6:1 |
LetAll all who are under the yoke as slaves are to regard their own masters as worthy of all honor so that the name of God and our doctrine maywill not be spoken against. |
| 6:2 |
AndThose let those who have believers as their masters must not be disrespectful to them because they are brethren, but letmust them serve them all the more, because those who partake of the benefit are believers and beloved. Teach and preach these principles. |
| 6:3 |
If anyone advocates a different doctrine, and does not agree with sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine conforming to godliness, |
| 6:6 |
But godliness actually is a means of great gain, when accompanied by contentment. |
| 6:8 |
AndIf if we have food and covering, with these we shall be content. |
| 6:10 |
For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith, and pierced themselves with many a panggriefs. |
| 6:11 |
But flee from these things, you man of God;, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness. |
| 6:15 |
which He will bring about at the proper time —He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of Lords;, |
| 6:16 |
who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light;, whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen. |
| 6:20 |
O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, avoiding worldly and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called knowledge— |
