1TI 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our *3972 *0652 *2424 *5547 *2003 *2316 Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope; *4990 *2962 *2424 *5547 *3588 *1680 2 Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from *5095 *1103 *5043 *4102 *5485 *1656 *1515 God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. *2316 *3962 *2424 *5547 *2962 3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into *3870 *4357 *4357 *1722 *2181 *4198 *1519 Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other *3109 *3853 *5100 *2085 *3361 *2085 doctrine, 4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister *3366 *4337 *3454 *0562 *1076 *3748 *3930 questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. *2214 *3123 *2228 *2316 *3618 *3588 *4102 5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a *1161 *5056 *3852 *0026 *2513 *2588 good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: *0018 *4893 *4102 *0505 6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; *3739 *5100 *0795 *1824 *1824 *3150 *3150 7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, *2309 *2547 *3547 *4920 *3383 *3739 *3004 nor whereof they affirm. *3383 *5101 *1226 8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; *1492 *3551 *2570 *1437 *5100 *5530 *3545 9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the *1492 *5124 *3551 *2749 *1342 lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and *0459 *0506 *0765 *0268 *0462 profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, *0952 *3964 *3964 *3389 *3389 *0409 10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for *4205 *0733 *0733 menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other *0405 *5583 *1965 *0678 *1487 *1536 *2087 thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; *0480 *1319 11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed *2596 *1391 *2098 *3107 *2316 *3739 *4100 to my trust. *4100 12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he *5485 *5547 *2424 *2962 *3588 *1743 counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; *2233 *4103 *5087 *1519 *1248 13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I *3588 *4386 *0989 *1376 *5197 obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. *1653 *1653 *3754 *0050 *0570 14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love *5485 *2962 *5250 *5250 *4102 *0026 which is in Christ Jesus. *3588 *5547 *2424 15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ *3588 *4103 *3056 *0514 *3956 *0594 *5547 Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. *2424 *2064 *1519 *2889 *4982 *0268 *3739 *1510 *4413 16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ *0235 *5124 *1223 *1653 *1653 *4413 *2424 *5547 might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should *1731 *1731 *3956 *3115 *5296 *3195 hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. *3195 *4100 *1909 *2222 *0166 17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be *1161 *0935 *0165 *0862 *0517 *3441 *4680 *2316 honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. *5092 *1391 *0165 *0165 *0281 18 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the *5026 *3852 *3908 *5043 *5095 *2596 prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a *4394 *4254 *4254 *1909 *4754 good warfare; *2570 *4752 19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away *2192 *4102 *0018 *4893 *3739 *5100 *0683 *0683 concerning faith have made shipwreck: *4012 *4102 *3489 *3489 20 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, *3739 *5211 *0223 *3739 *3860 *4567 that they may learn not to blaspheme. *3811 *0987 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, *3870 *3767 *4412 *3956 *1162 *4335 intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; *1783 *2169 *4160 *3956 *0444 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet *0935 *3956 *5247 *1236 *2263 and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. *2272 *0979 *3956 *2150 *4587 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; *5124 *2570 *0587 *1799 *2316 *4990 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of *3739 *2309 *3956 *0444 *4982 *2064 *1922 the truth. *0225 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man *1520 *2316 *1520 *3316 *2316 *0444 *0444 Christ Jesus; *5547 *2424 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. *3588 *1325 *1438 *0487 *3956 *3142 *2398 *2540 7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in *3739 *5087 *2783 *0652 *3004 *0225 Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. *5547 *5574 *1320 *1484 *4102 *0225 8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, *1014 *3767 *0435 *4336 *3956 *5117 *1869 *3741 *5495 without wrath and doubting. *5565 *3709 *1261 9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with *5615 *2532 *1135 *2885 *1438 *2887 *2689 shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, *0127 *4997 *4117 *4117 *2228 *5557 *2228 *3135 or costly array; *2228 *4185 *2441 10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. *3739 *0516 *1135 *1861 *2317 *0018 *2041 11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. *1135 *3129 *2271 *3956 *5292 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, *2010 *1135 *1321 *3761 *0831 *0831 *0435 but to be in silence. *2271 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. *0076 *4413 *4111 *1534 *2096 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the *0076 *0538 *1135 *0538 transgression. *3847 15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue *4982 *5042 *1437 *3306 in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. *4102 *0026 *0038 *4997 3:1 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he *3588 *4103 *3056 *1487 *5100 *3713 *1984 *1984 desireth a good work. *1937 *2570 *2041 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, *1985 *3767 *1163 *0483 *0435 *3391 *1135 *3524 sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; *4998 *2887 *5382 *1317 *1317 3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, *3943 *3943 *3361 *4131 *0866 *0866 *1933 not a brawler, not covetous; *0269 *0866 4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection *4291 *2573 *2398 *3624 *2192 *5043 *5292 with all gravity; *3956 *4587 5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take *1487 *5100 *1492 *4291 *2398 *3624 *4459 care of the church of God?) *1959 *1577 *2316 6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the *3504 *3361 *5188 *5187 *1706 *1519 condemnation of the devil. *2917 *1228 7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he *1161 *1163 *2192 *2570 *3141 *1855 *3361 fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. *1519 *3680 *3803 *1228 8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much *5615 *1249 *4586 *1351 *4337 *4183 wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; *3631 *0146 *0146 9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. *2192 *3466 *4102 *2513 *4893 10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a *3778 *2532 *4412 *1381 *1534 *1247 deacon, being found blameless. *1247 *5607 *0410 11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in *5615 *1135 *4586 *1228 *3524 *4103 all things. *3956 12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and *1249 *0435 *3391 *1135 *4291 *5043 their own houses well. *2398 *3624 *2573 13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to *1247 *1247 *1247 *2573 *4046 themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in *1438 *2570 *0898 *4183 *3954 *4102 *3588 Christ Jesus. *5547 *2424 14 These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: *5023 *1125 *1679 *2064 *5032 15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to *1437 *1019 *1492 *4459 *1163 behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, *0390 *3624 *2316 *3748 *1577 *2198 *2316 the pillar and ground of the truth. *4769 *1477 *0225 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was *3672 *3672 *3173 *3466 *2150 *2316 manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached *5319 *4561 *1344 *4151 *3700 *0032 *2784 unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. *1484 *4100 *2889 *0353 *1722 *1391 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall *1161 *4151 *3004 *4490 *5305 *2540 *5100 depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of *0868 *4102 *4337 *4108 *4151 *1319 devils; *1140 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot *5573 *5573 *5272 *4893 *2743 *2743 iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath *2967 *1060 *0567 *1033 *3739 *2316 created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the *2936 *3336 *2169 *4103 *1921 truth. *0225 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be *3956 *2938 *2316 *2570 *3762 *0579 received with thanksgiving: *2983 *2169 5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. *0037 *3056 *2316 *1783 6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a *5294 *0080 *5294 *5023 good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of *2570 *1249 *2424 *5547 *1789 *3056 *4102 good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. *2570 *1319 *3739 *3877 7 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather *3868 *0952 *1126 *1126 *3454 *1128 *4572 unto godliness. *2150 8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto *4984 *1129 *2076 *3641 *2150 *5624 all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is *3956 *2192 *1860 *2222 *3568 to come. *3195 9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. *3588 *4103 *3056 *0514 *3956 *0594 10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in *5124 *2532 *2872 *3679 *3754 *1679 the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that *2198 *2316 *3739 *4990 *3956 *0444 *3122 believe. *4103 11 These things command and teach. *5023 *1321 12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, *3367 *3367 *2706 *3503 *5179 *4103 in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. *3056 *0391 *0026 *4151 *4102 *0047 13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. *2193 *2064 *4337 *0320 *3874 *1319 14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, *0272 *5486 *3739 *1325 *4394 with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. *1936 *1936 *5495 *4244 15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy *3191 *5023 *2468 *1722 profiting may appear to all. *4297 *5600 *3956 16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in *1907 *4572 *1319 *1961 doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. *4160 *5124 *2532 *4982 *4572 *0191 5:1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as *1969 *4245 *3870 *3962 *3501 brethren; *0080 2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity. *4245 *3384 *3501 *0079 *3956 *0047 3 Honour widows that are widows indeed. *5091 *5503 *5503 *3689 4 But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to *1487 *5100 *5503 *2192 *5043 *2228 *1549 *3129 *4412 shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and *2151 *2151 *2398 *0287 *4269 *2570 acceptable before God. *0587 *1799 *2316 5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and *1161 *5503 *3689 *3443 *1679 *2316 continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. *4357 *1162 *4335 *3571 *2250 6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. *2198 *4684 *2348 *2198 7 And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless. *5023 *3853 *0483 8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own *1487 *5100 *4306 *2398 *3122 *3588 *2398 house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. *3609 *0720 *4102 *5501 *0571 9 Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, *5503 *2639 *2639 *1640 *1835 *2094 having been the wife of one man. *1096 *1135 *1520 *0435 10 Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if *3140 *3140 *2570 *2041 *1487 *5044 *5044 *1487 she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she *3580 *3580 *1487 *3538 *0040 *4228 *1487 have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good *1884 *2346 *1487 *1872 *3956 *0018 work. *2041 11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton *3501 *5503 *3868 *3752 *2691 *2691 *2691 against Christ, they will marry; *2691 *5547 *2309 *1060 12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith. *2192 *2917 *3754 *0114 *0114 *4413 *4102 13 And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; *0260 *3129 *0692 *4022 *4022 *3614 *3614 and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which *3440 *0692 *5397 *2532 *4021 *2980 *3588 they ought not. *1163 14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the *1014 *3767 *3501 *1060 *5041 *5041 *3616 house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. *3616 *1325 *3361 *0874 *0480 *5484 15 For some are already turned aside after Satan. *5100 *2235 *1824 *1824 *3694 *4567 16 If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve *1487 *1536 *2228 *4103 *2192 *5503 *1884 them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are *1577 *0916 *1884 widows indeed. *5503 *3689 17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, *4245 *4291 *2573 *0515 *0515 *1362 *5092 especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. *3122 *2872 *3056 *1319 18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth *1124 *3004 *5392 *1016 *0248 out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward. *2040 *0514 *3408 19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three *2596 *4245 *3858 *2724 *1909 *1417 *2228 *5140 witnesses. *3144 20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. *0264 *1651 *1799 *3956 *3062 *2532 *2192 21 I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect *1263 *1799 *2316 *2962 *2424 *5547 *1588 angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before *0032 *5442 *5023 *5565 *4299 *4299 another, doing nothing by partiality. *4299 *4160 *3367 *4346 22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's *2007 *5495 *5030 *2007 *3367 *3367 *3366 *2841 *0245 sins: keep thyself pure. *0266 *5083 *4572 *0053 23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake *5202 *3370 *3370 *5203 *5530 *3641 *3631 *4751 and thine often infirmities. *4675 *4437 *0769 24 Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some *5100 *0266 *4271 *4271 *4254 *4254 *2920 *5100 men they follow after. *0444 *1872 *1872 25 Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they *5615 *2532 *2570 *2041 *4271 *4271 that are otherwise cannot be hid. *0247 *1410 *2928 6:1 Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters *3745 *1401 *5259 *2218 *2233 *2398 *1203 worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not *0514 *3956 *5092 *3686 *2316 *1319 blasphemed. *0987 2 And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because *2192 *4103 *1203 *2706 *3754 they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful *0080 *3123 *1398 *1398 *3754 *4103 and beloved, partakers of the benefit.
