[2]To Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. |
| [3]As I besought thee to abide still in Ephesus, when I departed into Macedonia, so do, that thou mayest command some, that they teach none other doctrine, |
[3]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, |
| [4]Neither that they give heed to fables and genealogies which are endless, which breed questions rather than godly edifying which is by faith. |
[4]Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith; so do. |
| [5]For the end of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned. |
[5]Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: |
| [6]From the which things some have erred, and have turned unto vain jangling. |
[6]From which some having swerved, have turned aside to vain jangling; |
| [7]They would be doctors of the Law, and yet understand not what they speak, neither whereof they affirm. |
[7]Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor concerning what they affirm. |
| [8]And we know, that the Law is good, if a man use it lawfully, |
[8]But we know that the law is good, if a man useth it lawfully; |
| [9]Knowing this, that the Law is not given unto a righteous man, but unto the lawless and disobedient, to the ungodly, and to sinners, to the unholy, and to the profane, to murderers of fathers and mothers, to manslayers, |
[9]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 man-slayers, |
| [10]To whoremongers, to buggerers, to menstealers, to liars, to the perjured, and if there be any other thing, that is contrary to wholesome doctrine, |
[10]For lewd persons, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine, |
| [11]Which is according to the glorious Gospel of the blessed God, which is committed unto me. |
[11]According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust. |
| [12]Therefore I thank him, which hath made me strong, that is, Christ Jesus our Lord: for he counted me faithful, and put me in his service: |
[12]And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; |
| [13]When before I was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and an oppressor: but I was received to mercy: for I did it ignorantly through unbelief. |
[13]Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief: |
| [14]But the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus. |
[14]And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. |
| [15]This is a true saying, and by all means worthy to be received, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. |
[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. |
| [16]Notwithstanding, for this cause was I received to mercy, that Jesus Christ should first show on me all long suffering unto the ensample of them, which shall in time to come believe in him unto eternal life. |
[16]However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to them who should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. |
| [17]Now unto the King everlasting, immortal, invisible, unto God only wise, be honor and glory forever, and ever, Amen. |
[17]Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, God the only wise, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. |
| [18]This commandment commit I unto thee, son Timotheus, according to the prophecies, which went before upon thee, that thou by them shouldest fight a good fight, |
[18]This charge I commit to thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mayest war a good warfare; |
| [19]Having faith and a good conscience, which some have put away, and as concerning faith, have made shipwreck. |
[19]Holding faith and a good conscience; which some having put away, concerning faith have made shipwreck: |
| [20]Of whom is Hymeneus, and Alexander, whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they might learn not to blaspheme. |
[20]Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander; whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme. |
