11 Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of Godour Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ which is our hope . 12 Unto Timothy my own son in the faith Grace mercy and peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord . 13 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 . 14 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies which minister questions rather than godly edifying which is in faith so do . 15 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart and of a good conscience and of faith unfeigned . 16 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling . 17 Desiring to be teachers of the law understanding neither what they say nor whereof they affirm . 18 But we know that the law is good if a man use it lawfully . 19 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 . 110 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 . 111 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust . 112 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who hath enabled me for that he counted me faithful putting me into the ministry . 113 Who was before a blasphemer and a persecutor and injurious but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief . 114 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus . 115 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 . 116 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 . 117 Now unto the King eternal immortal invisible the only wise God be honour and glory for ever and ever Amen . 118 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 . 119 Holding faith and a good conscience which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck . 120 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander whom I have delivered unto Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme . * 21 I exhort therefore that first of all supplications prayers intercessions and giving of thanks be made for all men . 22 For kings and for all that are in authority that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty . 23 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour . 24 Who will have all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth . 25 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men the man Christ Jesus . 26 Who gave himself a ransom for all to be testified in due time . 27 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth in Christ and lie not a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity . 28 I will therfore that men pray every where lifting up holy hands without wrath and doubting . 29 In like manner also that women adorn themselves in modest apparel with shamefacedness and sobriety not with broided hair or gold or pearls or costly array . 210 But (which becometh women professing godliness with good works . 211 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection . 212 But I suffer not a woman to teach nor to usurp authority over the man but to be in silence . 213 For Adam was first formed then Eve . 214 And Adam was not deceived but the woman being deceived was in the transgression . 215 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety . * 31 This is a true saying If a man desire the office of a bishop he desireth a good work . 32 A bishop then must be blameless the husband of one wife vigilant sober of good behaviour given to hospitality apt to teach . 33 Not given to wine no striker not greedy of filthy lucre but patient not a brawler not covetous . 34 One that ruleth well his own house having his children in subjection with all gravity . 35 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house how shall he take care of the church of God . 36 Not a novice lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil . 37 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil . 38 Likewise must the deacons be grave not doubletongued not given to much wine not greedy of filthy lucre . 39 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience . 310 And let these also first be proved then let them use the office of a deacon being found blameless . 311 Even so must their wives be grave not slanderers sober faithful in all things . 312 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife ruling their children and their own houses well . 313 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus . 314 These things write I unto thee hoping to come unto thee shortly . 315 But if I tarry long that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God which is the church of the living God the pillar and ground of the truth . 316 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness God was manifest in the flesh justified in the Spirit seen of angels preached unto the Gentiles believed on in the world received up into glory . * 41 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils . 42 Speaking lies in hypocrisy having their conscience seared with a hot iron . 43 Forbidding to marry and commanding to abstain from meats which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth . 44 For every creature of God is good and nothing to be refused if it be received with thanksgiving . 45 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer . 46 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine whereunto thou hast attained . 47 But refuse profane and old wives' fables and exercise thyself rather unto godliness . 48 For bodily exercise profiteth little but godliness is profitable unto all things having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come . 49 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation . 410 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach because we trust in the living God who is the Saviour of all men specially of those that believe . 411 These things command and teach . 412 Let no man despise thy youth but be thou an example of the believers in word in conversation in charity in spirit in faith in purity . 413 Till I come give attendance to reading to exhortation to doctrine . 414 Neglect not the gift that is in thee which was given thee by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery . 415 Meditate upon these things give thyself wholly to them that thy profiting may appear to all . 416 Take heed unto thyself and unto the doctrine continue in them for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee . * 51 Rebuke not an elder but intreat him as a father and the younger men as brethren . 52 The elder women as mothers the younger as sisters with all purity . 53 Honour widows that are widows indeed . 54 But if any widow have children or nephews let them learn first to shew piety at home and to requite their parents for that is good and acceptable before God . 55 Now she that is a widow indeed and desolate trusteth in God and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day . 56 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth . 57 And these things give in charge that they may be blameless . 58 But if any provide not for his own and specially for those of his own house he hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel . 59 Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old having been the wife of one man . 510 Well reported of for good works if she have brought up children if she have lodged strangers if she have washed the saints' feet if she have relieved the afflicted if she have diligently followed every good work . 511 But the younger widows refuse for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ they will marry . |
