1:1 Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ, according to [the] command of
 God our Saviour, and of Christ Jesus our hope,
1:2 to Timotheus, [my] true child in faith: grace, mercy, peace,
 from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
1:3 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,
1:4 nor to turn their minds to fables and interminable
 genealogies, which bring questionings rather than [further]
 God's dispensation, which [is] in faith.
1:5 But the end of what is enjoined is love out of a pure heart
 and a good conscience and unfeigned faith;
1:6 which [things] some having missed, have turned aside to vain
 discourse,
1:7 desiring to be law-teachers, not understanding either what
 they say or concerning what they [so] strenuously affirm.
1:8 Now we know that the law [is] good if any one uses it
 lawfully,
1:9 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,
1:10 fornicators, sodomites, kidnappers, liars, perjurers; and
 if any other thing is opposed to sound teaching,
1:11 according to the glad tidings of the glory of the blessed
 God, with which *I* have been entrusted.
1:12 [And] I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me
 power, that he has counted me faithful, appointing to ministry
 him
1:13 who before was a blasphemer and persecutor, and an insolent
 overbearing [man]: but mercy was shewn me because I did it
 ignorantly, in unbelief.
1:14 But the grace of our Lord surpassingly over-abounded with
 faith and love, which [is] in Christ Jesus.
1:15 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.
1:16 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.
1:17 Now to the King of the ages, [the] incorruptible,
 invisible, only God, honour and glory to the ages of ages.
 Amen.
1:18 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,
1:19 maintaining faith and a good conscience; which [last] some,
 having put away, have made shipwreck as to faith;
1:20 of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered
 to Satan, that they may be taught by discipline not to
 blaspheme.
2:1 I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications,
 prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings be made for all men;
2:2 for kings and all that are in dignity, that we may lead a
 quiet and tranquil life in all piety and gravity;
2:3 for this is good and acceptable before our Saviour God,
2:4 who desires that all men should be saved and come to [the]
 knowledge of [the] truth.
2:5 For God is one, and [the] mediator of God and men one, [the]
 man Christ Jesus,
2:6 who gave himself a ransom for all, the testimony [to be
 rendered] in its own times;
2:7 to which *I* have been appointed a herald and apostle, (I
 speak [the] truth, I do not lie,) a teacher of [the] nations in
 faith and truth.
2:8 I will therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting
 up pious hands, without wrath or reasoning.
2:9 In like manner also that the women in decent deportment and
 dress adorn themselves with modesty and discretion, not with
 plaited [hair] and gold, or pearls, or costly clothing,
2:10 but, what becomes women making profession of the fear of
 God, by good works.
2:11 Let a woman learn in quietness in all subjection;
2:12 but I do not suffer a woman to teach nor to exercise
 authority over man, but to be in quietness;
2:13 for Adam was formed first, then Eve:
2:14 and Adam was not deceived; but the woman, having been
 deceived, was in transgression.
2:15 But she shall be preserved in childbearing, if they
 continue in faith and love and holiness with discretion.
3:1 The word [is] faithful: if any one aspires to exercise
 oversight, he desires a good work.
3:2 The overseer then must be irreproachable, husband of one
 wife, sober, discreet, decorous, hospitable, apt to teach;
3:3 not given to excesses from wine, not a striker, but mild,
 not addicted to contention, not fond of money,
3:4 conducting his own house well, having [his] children in
 subjection with all gravity;
3:5 (but if one does not know how to conduct his own house, how
 shall he take care of the assembly of God?)
3:6 not a novice, that he may not, being inflated, fall into
 [the] fault of the devil.
3:7 But it is necessary that he should have also a good
 testimony from those without, that he may fall not into
 reproach and [the] snare of the devil.
3:8 Ministers, in like manner, grave, not double-tongued, not
 given to much wine, not seeking gain by base means,
3:9 holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
3:10 And let these be first proved, then let them minister,
 being without charge [against them].
3:11 [The] women in like manner grave, not slanderers, sober,
 faithful in all things.
3:12 Let [the] ministers be husbands of one wife, conducting
 [their] children and their own houses well:
3:13 for those who shall have ministered well obtain for
 themselves a good degree, and much boldness in faith which [is]
 in Christ Jesus.
3:14 These things I write to thee, hoping to come to thee more
 quickly;
3:15 but if I delay, in order that thou mayest know how one
 ought to conduct oneself in God's house, which is [the]
 assembly of [the] living God, [the] pillar and base of the
 truth.
3:16 And confessedly the mystery of piety is great. God has been
 manifested in flesh, has been justified in [the] Spirit, has
 appeared to angels, has been preached among [the] nations, has
 been believed on in [the] world, has been received up in glory.
4:1 But the Spirit speaks expressly, that in latter times some
 shall apostatise from the faith, giving their mind to deceiving
 spirits and teachings of demons
4:2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, cauterised as to their own
 conscience,
4:3 forbidding to marry, [bidding] to abstain from meats, which
 God has created for receiving with thanksgiving for them who
 are faithful and know the truth.
4:4 For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing [is] to be
 rejected, being received with thanksgiving;
4:5 for it is sanctified by God's word and freely addressing
 [him].
4:6 Laying these things before the brethren, thou wilt be a good
 minister of Christ Jesus, nourished with the words of the faith
 and of the good teaching which thou hast fully followed up.
4:7 But profane and old wives' fables avoid, but exercise
 thyself unto piety;
4:8 for bodily exercise is profitable for a little, but piety is
 profitable for everything, having promise of life, of the
 present one, and of that to come.
4:9 The word [is] faithful and worthy of all acceptation;
4:10 for, for this we labour and suffer reproach, because we
 hope in a living God, who is preserver of all men, specially of
 those that believe.
4:11 Enjoin and teach these things.
4:12 Let no one despise thy youth, but be a model of the
 believers, in word, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
4:13 Till I come, give thyself to reading, to exhortation, to
 teaching.
4:14 Be not negligent of the gift [that is] in thee, which has
 been given to thee through prophecy, with imposition of the
 hands of the elderhood.
4:15 Occupy thyself with these things; be wholly in them, that
 thy progress may be manifest to all.
4:16 Give heed to thyself and to the teaching; continue in them;
 for, doing this, thou shalt save both thyself and those that
 hear thee.
5:1 Rebuke not an elder sharply, but exhort [him] as a father,
 younger [men] as brethren,
5:2 elder women as mothers, younger women as sisters, with all
 purity.
5:3 Honour widows who are really widows;
5:4 but if any widow h
