1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God
 our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, [which is] our hope;
1:2 Unto Timothy, [my] own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, [and]
 peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
1:3 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,
1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which
 minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in
 faith: [so do].
1:5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure
 heart, and [of] a good conscience, and [of] faith unfeigned:
1:6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain
 jangling;
1:7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither
 what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
1:8 But we know that the law [is] good, if a man use it
 lawfully;
1:9 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,
1:10 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;
1:11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which
 was committed to my trust.
1:12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for
 that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
1:13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and
 injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did [it] ignorantly
 in unbelief.
1:14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith
 and love which is in Christ Jesus.
1:15 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.
1:16 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.
1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only
 wise God, [be] honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
1:18 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;
1:19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put
 away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
1:20 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered
 unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications,
 prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all
 men;
2:2 For kings, and [for] all that are in authority; that we may
 lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
2:3 For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of God our
 Saviour;
2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the
 knowledge of the truth.
2:5 For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and
 men, the man Christ Jesus;
2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due
 time.
2:7 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.
2:8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy
 hands, without wrath and doubting.
2:9 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;
2:10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good
 works.
2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority
 over the man, but to be in silence.
2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was
 in the transgression.
2:15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they
 continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
3:1 This [is] a true saying, If a man desire the office of a
 bishop, he desireth a good work.
3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife,
 vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt
 to teach;
3:3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre;
 but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
3:4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in
 subjection with all gravity;
3:5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall
 he take care of the church of God?)
3:6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into
 the condemnation of the devil.
3:7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are
 without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
3:8 Likewise [must] the deacons [be] grave, not doubletongued,
 not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
3:9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
3:10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the
 office of a deacon, being [found] blameless.
3:11 Even so [must their] wives [be] grave, not slanderers,
 sober, faithful in all things.
3:12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their
 children and their own houses well.
3:13 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.
3:14 These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee
 shortly:
3:15 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.
3:16 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.
4:1 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;
4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared
 with a hot iron;
4:3 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.
4:4 For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be
 refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
4:5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
4:6 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.
4:7 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise
 thyself [rather] unto godliness.
4:8 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.
4:9 This [is] a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
4:10 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.
4:11 These things command and teach.
4:12 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.
4:13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to
 doctrine.
4:14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee
 by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
4:15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them;
 that thy profiting may appear to all.
4:16 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.
5:1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat [him] as a father; [and]
 the younger men as brethren;
5:2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all
 purity.
5:3 Honour widows that are widows indeed.
5:4 But if any widow have childr
