Paul,G3972 an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 by the commandmentG2003 of GodG2316 our Savior,G4990 and LordG2962 JesusG2424 Christ,G5547 whichG3588 is our hope;G1680
2
To Timothy,G5095 my ownG1103 sonG5043 in the faith:G4102 Grace,G5485 mercy,G1656 and peace,G1515 from GodG2316 our FatherG3962 and JesusG2424 ChristG5547 our Lord.G2962
3
As I soughtG3870 you to abideG4357 stillG4357 atG1722 Ephesus,G2181 when I wentG4198 intoG1519 Macedonia,G3109 that you might chargeG3853 someG5100 that they teachG2085 noG3361 otherG2085 doctrine,
4
NeitherG3366 give heedG4337 to fablesG3454 and endlessG562 genealogies,G1076 whichG3748 ministerG3930 questions,G2214 ratherG3123 thanG2228 godlyG2316 edifyingG3618 whichG3588 is in faith:G4102 so do.
5
NowG1161 the endG5056 of the commandmentG3852 is charityG26 out of a pureG2513 heart,G2588 and of a goodG18 conscience,G4893 and of faithG4102 unfeigned:G505
6
From whichG3739 someG5100 having swervedG795 have turnedG1624 asideG1624 to vainG3150 jangling;G3150
7
DesiringG2309 to be teachersG3547 of the law;G3547 understandingG4920 neitherG3383 whatG3739 they say,G3004 norG3383 whereofG4012 G5101 they affirm.G1226
8
But we knowG1492 that the lawG3551 is good,G2570 ifG1437 a manG5100 useG5530 it lawfully;G3545
9
KnowingG1492 this,G5124 that the lawG3551 is not madeG2749 for a righteousG1342 man, but for the lawlessG459 and disobedient,G506 for the ungodlyG765 and for sinners,G268 for unholyG462 and profane,G952 for murderersG3964 of fathersG3964 and murderersG3389 of mothers,G3389 for murderers,G409
10
For fornicators,G4205 for them that defileG733 themselves with mankind,G733 for enslavers,G405 for liars,G5583 for perjuredG1965 persons,G678 and ifG1487 there be anyG1536 otherG2087 thing that is contraryG480 to soundG5198 doctrine;G1319
11
AccordingG2596 to the gloriousG1391 gospelG2098 of the blessedG3107 God,G2316 whichG3739 was committedG4100 to my trust.G4100
12
And I thankG2192 G5485 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our Lord,G2962 whoG3588 has enabledG1743 me, for that he countedG2233 me faithful,G4103 puttingG5087 me intoG1519 the ministry;G1248
13
WhoG3588 was beforeG4386 a blasphemer,G989 and a persecutor,G1376 and injurious:G5197 but I obtainedG1653 mercy,G1653 becauseG3754 I did it ignorantlyG50 in unbelief.G570
14
And the graceG5485 of our LordG2962 was exceedingG5250 abundantG5250 with faithG4102 and loveG26 whichG3588 is in ChristG5547 Jesus.G2424
15
ThisG3588 is a faithfulG4103 saying,G3056 and worthyG514 of allG3956 acceptation,G594 that ChristG5547 JesusG2424 cameG2064 intoG1519 the worldG2889 to saveG4982 sinners;G268 of whomG3739 I amG1510 chief.G4413
16
However,G235 for thisG5124 causeG1223 I obtainedG1653 mercy,G1653 that in me firstG4413 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 might showG1731 forthG1731 allG3956 long-suffering,G3115 for a patternG5296 to them which shouldG3195 hereafterG3195 believeG4100 onG1909 him to lifeG2222 everlasting.G166
17
NowG1161 to the KingG935 eternal,G165 immortal,G862 invisible,G517 the onlyG3441 wiseG4680 God,G2316 be honorG5092 and gloryG1391 for everG165 and ever.G165 Amen.G281
18
ThisG5026 chargeG3852 I commitG3908 to you, sonG5043 Timothy,G5095 accordingG2596 to the propheciesG4394 which wentG4254 beforeG4254 onG1909 you, that you by them might warG4754 a goodG2570 warfare;G4752
19
HoldingG2192 faith,G4102 and a goodG18 conscience;G4893 whichG3739 someG5100 having putG683 awayG683 concerningG4012 faithG4102 have madeG3489 shipwreck:G3489
20
Of whomG3739 is HymenaeusG5211 and Alexander;G223 whomG3739 I have deliveredG3860 to Satan,G4567 that they may learnG3811 not to blaspheme.G987
