engKJVCPB: 1 Timothy 1

=> Chapters

[1] Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope; [2] unto 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 at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,  [4] neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.  [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 which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;  [7] desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.  [8] But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;  [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 manslayers,  [10] 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;  [11] according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.  [12] And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;  [13] who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.  [14] And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.  [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] Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.  [17] Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.  [18] 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;  [19] holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away, concerning faith have made shipwrack:  [20] of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
