* Paul , an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour , and Lord Jesus Christ , which is our hope ; * Unto Timothy , my own son in the faith : Grace , mercy , and peace , from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord . * As I besought (5656 ) thee to abide still (5658 ) at Ephesus , when I went (5740 ) into Macedonia , that thou mightest charge (5661 ) some that they teach no other doctrine (5721 ), * Neither give heed (5721 ) to fables and endless genealogies , which minister (5719 ) questions , rather than godly edifying which is in faith : so do . * Now the end of the commandment is (5748 ) charity out of a pure heart , and of a good conscience , and of faith unfeigned : * From which some having swerved (5660 ) have turned aside (5648 ) unto vain jangling ; * Desiring (5723 ) to be (5750 ) teachers of the law ; understanding (5723 ) neither what they say (5719 ), nor whereof they affirm (5736 ). * But we know (5758 ) that the law is good , if a man use (5741 ) it lawfully ; * Knowing (5761 ) this , that the law is not made (5736 ) 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 , * 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 (5736 ) to sound (5723 ) doctrine ; * According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God , which was committed to my trust (5681 ). * And I thank (5719 ) Christ Jesus our Lord , who hath enabled (5660 ) me , for that he counted (5662 ) me faithful , putting me (5642 ) into the ministry ; * Who was (5752 ) before a blasphemer , and a persecutor , and injurious : but I obtained mercy (5681 ), because I did (5656 ) it ignorantly (5723 ) in unbelief . * And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant (5656 ) with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus . * This is a faithful saying , and worthy of all acceptation , that Christ Jesus came (5627 ) into the world to save (5658 ) sinners ; of whom I am (5748 ) chief . * Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy (5681 ), that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth (5672 ) all longsuffering , for a pattern to them which should hereafter (5723 ) believe (5721 ) on him to life everlasting . * Now unto the King eternal , immortal , invisible , the only wise God , be honour and glory for ever and ever . Amen . * This charge I commit (5731 ) unto thee , son Timothy , according to the prophecies which went before (5723 ) on thee , that thou by them mightest war (5735 ) a good warfare ; * Holding (5723 ) faith , and a good conscience ; which some having put away (5666 ) concerning faith have made shipwreck (5656 ): * Of whom is (5748 ) Hymenaeus and Alexander ; whom I have delivered (5656 ) unto Satan , that they may learn (5686 ) not to blaspheme (5721 ).
