11  Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God 
our 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 .

512  Having damnation because they have cast off their first 
faith .

513  And withal they learn to be idle wandering about from house 
to house and not only idle but tattlers also and busybodies 
speaking things which they ought not .

514  I will therefore that the younger women marry bear children 
guide the house give none occasion to the adversary to speak 
reproachfully .

515  For some are already turned aside after Satan .

516  If any man or woman that believeth have widows let them 
relieve them and let not the church be charged that it may 
relieve them that are widows indeed .

517  Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double 
honour especially they who labour in the word and doctrine .

518  For the scripture saith Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that 
treadeth out the corn And The labourer is worthy of his reward .

519  Against an elder receive not an accusation but before two 
or three witnesses .

520  Them that sin rebuke before all that others also may fear .

521  I charge thee before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the 
elect angels that thou observe these things without preferring 
one before another doing nothing by partiality .

522  Lay hands suddenly on no man neither be partaker of other 
men's sins keep thyself pure .

523  Drink no longer water but use a little wine for thy 
stomach's sake and thine often infirmities .

524  Some men's sins are open beforehand going before to 
judgment and some men they follow after .

525  Likewise also the good works of some are manifest 
beforehand and they that are otherwise cannot be hid .

* 61  Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own 
masters worthy of all honour that the name of God and his 
doctrine be not blasphemed .

62  And they that have believing masters let them not despise 
them because they are brethren but rather do them service 
because they are faithful and beloved partakers of the benefit 
These things teach and exhort .

63  If any man teach otherwise and consent not to wholesome 
words even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ and to the 
doctrine which is according to godliness .

64  He is proud knowing nothing but doting about questions and 
strifes of words whereof cometh envy strife railings evil 
surmisings .

65  Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of 
the truth supposing that gain is godliness from such withdraw 
thyself .

66  But godliness with contentment is great gain .

67  For we brought nothing into this world and it is certain we 
can carry nothing out .

68  And having food and raiment let us be therewith content .

69  But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare 
and into many foolish and hurtful lusts which drown men in 
destruction and perdition .

610  For the love of money is the root of all evil which while 
some coveted after they have erred from the faith and pierced 
themselves through with many sorrows .

611  But thou O man of God flee these things and follow after 
righteousness godliness faith love patience meekness .

612  Fight the good fight of faith lay hold on eternal life 
whereunto thou art also called and hast professed a good 
profession before many witnesses .

613  I give thee charge in the sight of God who quickeneth all 
things and before Christ Jesus who before Pontius Pilate 
witnessed a good confession .

614  That thou keep this commandment without spot unrebukeable 
until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ .

615  Which in his times he shall shew who is the blessed and 
only Potentate the King of kings and Lord of lords .

616  Who only hath immortality dwelling in the light which no 
man can approach unto whom no man hath seen nor can see to whom 
be honour and power everlasting Amen .

617  Charge them that are rich in this world that they be not 
highminded nor trust in uncertain riches but in the living God 
who giveth us richly all things to enjoy .

618  That they do good that they be rich in good works ready to 
distribute willing to communicate .

619  Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against 
the time to come that they may lay hold on eternal life .

620  O Timothy keep that which is committed to thy trust 
avoiding profane and vain babblings and oppositions of science 
falsely so called .

621  Which some professing have erred concerning the faith Grace 
be with thee Amen .
