Chapter 1
1 Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ, according to [the] command of God our Saviour, and of Christ Jesus our hope,
9:15; 9:15; 1:1; 1:1; 1:11; 1:11; 1:27; 1:27; 2:3; 2:3; 4:10; 4:10; 1:3; 1:3; 2:10; 2:10; 13:4; 13:4; 1:25; 1:25;
2 to Timotheus, [my] true child in faith: grace, mercy, peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
16:1; 16:1; 4:17; 4:17; 1:3; 1:3; 2:19; 2:19; 3:2; 3:2; 1:2; 1:2; 1:4; 1:4; 1:2; 1:2;
3 Even as I begged thee to remain in Ephesus, [when I was] going to Macedonia, that thou mightest enjoin some not to teach other doctrines,
20:1; 20:1; 20:3; 20:3; 1:6; 1:6; 1:7; 1:7; 2:24; 2:24; 6:3; 6:3; 6:10; 6:10;
4 nor to turn their minds to fables and interminable genealogies, which bring questionings rather than [further] God's dispensation, which [is] in faith.
4:7; 4:7; 6:4; 6:4; 6:4; 6:20; 6:20; 2:14; 2:14; 16:23; 16:23; 1:14; 1:14; 3:9; 3:9;
5 But the end of what is enjoined is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith;
13:8; 13:8; 13:10; 13:10; 5:14; 5:14; 2:22; 2:22;
6 which [things] some having missed, have turned aside to vain discourse,
7 desiring to be law-teachers, not understanding either what they say or concerning what they [so] strenuously affirm.
8 Now we know that the law [is] good if any one uses it lawfully,
9 knowing this, that law has not its application to a righteous person, but to [the] lawless and insubordinate, to [the] impious and sinful, to [the] unholy and profane, to smiters of fathers and smiters of mothers; to murderers,
10 fornicators, sodomites, kidnappers, liars, perjurers; and if any other thing is opposed to sound teaching,
6:3; 6:3; 4:3; 4:3; 2:1; 2:1; 4:9; 4:9;
11 according to the glad tidings of the glory of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.
9:17; 9:17; 2:7; 2:7; 1:25; 1:25; 2:4; 2:4; 2:7; 2:7; 6:15; 6:15; 1:11; 1:11; 1:3; 1:3;
12 [And] I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me power, that he has counted me faithful, appointing to ministry him
7:25; 7:25; 3:5; 3:5; 3:6; 3:6; 4:1; 4:1; 12:9; 12:9; 1:25; 1:25;
13 who before was a blasphemer and persecutor, and an insolent overbearing [man]: but mercy was shewn me because I did it ignorantly, in unbelief.
23:34; 23:34; 9:39; 9:39; 9:41; 9:41; 3:17; 3:17; 8:3; 8:3; 9:1; 9:1; 26:9; 26:9; 9:19; 9:19; 3:6; 3:6;
14 But the grace of our Lord surpassingly over-abounded with faith and love, which [is] in Christ Jesus.
7:47; 7:47; 5:20; 5:20; 15:10; 15:10; 1:13; 1:13;
15 Faithful [is] the word, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am [the] first.
9:13; 9:13; 2:17; 2:17; 5:32; 5:32; 19:10; 19:10; 5:8; 5:8; 3:1; 3:1; 4:9; 4:9; 2:11; 2:11; 3:8; 3:8; 3:5; 3:5;
16 But for this reason mercy was shewn me, that in me, [the] first, Jesus Christ might display the whole long-suffering, for a delineation of those about to believe on him to life eternal.
17 Now to the King of the ages, [the] incorruptible, invisible, only God, honour and glory to the ages of ages. Amen.
29:11; 29:11; 10:16; 10:16; 145:13; 145:13; 7:14; 7:14; 1:18; 1:18; 1:23; 1:23; 16:27; 16:27; 6:15; 6:15; 6:16; 6:16; 11:27; 11:27; 14:12; 14:12; 1:25; 1:25;
18 This charge, [my] child Timotheus, I commit to thee, according to the prophecies as to thee preceding, in order that thou mightest war by them the good warfare,
4:14; 4:14; 6:12; 6:12; 6:13; 6:13; 6:14; 6:14; 6:20; 6:20; 2:2; 2:2; 2:3; 2:3; 4:7; 4:7;
19 maintaining faith and a good conscience; which [last] some, having put away, have made shipwreck as to faith;
20 of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may be taught by discipline not to blaspheme.
