ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,

as the waters cover the sea.

Copyright (c) 1985-2007

1Timothy 1

1. Paul <3972>, an apostle <0652> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>

by the commandment <2003> of God <2316> our Saviour <4990>, and

Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, [which <3588> is] our

hope <1680>;

2 Unto Timothy <5095>, [my] own <1103> son <5043> in the faith

<4102>: Grace <5485>, mercy <1656>, [and] peace <1515>, from God

<2316> our Father <3962> and Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> our Lord

<2962>.

3 As I besought <3870> thee to abide <4357> still <4357> at

<1722> Ephesus <2181>, when I went <4198> into <1519> Macedonia

<3109>, that thou mightest charge <3853> some <5100> that they

teach <2085> no <3361> other <2085> doctrine,

4 Neither <3366> give heed <4337> to fables <3454> and endless

<0562> genealogies <1076>, which <3748> minister <3930>

questions <2214>, rather <3123> than <2228> godly <2316>

edifying <3618> which <3588> is in faith <4102>: [so do].

5. Now <1161> the end <5056> of the commandment <3852> is

charity <0026> out of a pure <2513> heart <2588>, and [of] a

good <0018> conscience <4893>, and [of] faith <4102> unfeigned

<0505>:

6 From which <3739> some <5100> having swerved <0795> have

turned <1824> aside <1824> unto vain <3150> jangling <3150>;

7 Desiring <2309> to be teachers <3547> of the law <3547>;

understanding <4920> neither <3383> what <3739> they say <3004>,

nor <3383> whereof <5101> they affirm <1226>.

8 But we know <1492> that the law <3551> [is] good <2570>, if

<1437> a man <5100> use <5530> it lawfully <3545>;

9 Knowing <1492> this <5124>, that the law <3551> is not made

<2749> for a righteous <1342> man, but for the lawless <0459>

and disobedient <0506>, for the ungodly <0765> and for sinners

<0268>, for unholy <0462> and profane <0952>, for murderers

<3964> of fathers <3964> and murderers <3389> of mothers <3389>,

for manslayers <0409>,

10 For whoremongers <4205>, for them that defile <0733>

themselves with mankind <0733>, for menstealers <0405>, for

liars <5583>, for perjured <1965> persons <0678>, and if <1487>

there be any <1536> other <2087> thing that is contrary <0480>

to sound <5198> doctrine <1319>;

11 According <2596> to the glorious <1391> gospel <2098> of

the blessed <3107> God <2316>, which <3739> was committed <4100>

to my trust <4100>.

12. And I thank <5485> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> our Lord

<2962>, who <3588> hath enabled <1743> me, for that he counted

<2233> me faithful <4103>, putting <5087> me into <1519> the

ministry <1248>;

13 Who <3588> was before <4386> a blasphemer <0989>, and a

persecutor <1376>, and injurious <5197>: but I obtained <1653>

mercy <1653>, because <3754> I did [it] ignorantly <0050> in

unbelief <0570>.

14 And the grace <5485> of our Lord <2962> was exceeding

<5250> abundant <5250> with faith <4102> and love <0026> which

<3588> is in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>.

15 This <3588> [is] a faithful <4103> saying <3056>, and

worthy <0514> of all <3956> acceptation <0594>, that Christ

<5547> Jesus <2424> came <2064> into <1519> the world <2889> to

save <4982> sinners <0268>; of whom <3739> I am <1510> chief

<4413>.

16 Howbeit <0235> for this <5124> cause <1223> I obtained

<1653> mercy <1653>, that in me first <4413> Jesus <2424> Christ

<5547> might shew <1731> forth <1731> all <3956> longsuffering

<3115>, for a pattern <5296> to them which should <3195>

hereafter <3195> believe <4100> on <1909> him to life <2222>

everlasting <0166>.

17 Now <1161> unto the King <0935> eternal <0165>, immortal

<0862>, invisible <0517>, the only <3441> wise <4680> God <2316>,

[be] honour <5092> and glory <1391> for ever <0165> and ever

<0165>. Amen <0281>.

18. This <5026> charge <3852> I commit <3908> unto thee, son

<5043> Timothy <5095>, according <2596> to the prophecies <4394>

which went <4254> before <4254> on <1909> thee, that thou by

them mightest war <4754> a good <2570> warfare <4752>;

19 Holding <2192> faith <4102>, and a good <0018> conscience

<4893>; which <3739> some <5100> having put <0683> away <0683>

concerning <4012> faith <4102> have made <3489> shipwreck <3489>:

20 Of whom <3739> is Hymenaeus <5211> and Alexander <0223>;

whom <3739> I have delivered <3860> unto Satan <4567>, that they

may learn <3811> not to blaspheme <0987>.

1Timothy 2

1. I exhort <3870> therefore <3767>, that, first <4412> of all

<3956>, supplications <1162>, prayers <4335>, intercessions

<1783>, [and] giving of thanks <2169>, be made <4160> for all

<3956> men <0444>;

2 For kings <0935>, and [for] all <3956> that are in authority

<5247>; that we may lead <1236> a quiet <2263> and peaceable

<2272> life <0979> in all <3956> godliness <2150> and honesty

<4587>.

3 For this <5124> [is] good <2570> and acceptable <0587> in

the sight <1799> of God <2316> our Saviour <4990>;

4 Who <3739> will <2309> have all <3956> men <0444> to be

saved <4982>, and to come <2064> unto the knowledge <1922> of

the truth <0225>.

5 For [there is] one <1520> God <2316>, and one <1520>

mediator <3316> between God <2316> and men <0444>, the man

<0444> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>;

6 Who <3588> gave <1325> himself <1438> a ransom <0487> for

all <3956>, to be testified <3142> in due <2398> time <2540>.

7 Whereunto <3739> I am ordained <5087> a preacher <2783>, and

an apostle <0652>, (I speak <3004> the truth <0225> in Christ

<5547>, [and] lie <5574> not;) a teacher <1320> of the Gentiles

<1484> in faith <4102> and verity <0225>.

8 I will <1014> therefore <3767> that men <0435> pray <4336>

every <3956> where <5117>, lifting <1869> up holy <3741> hands

<5495>, without <5565> wrath <3709> and doubting <1261>.

9. In like <5615> manner also <2532>, that women <1135> adorn

<2885> themselves <1438> in modest <2887> apparel <2689>, with

shamefacedness <0127> and sobriety <4997>; not with broided

<4117> hair <4117>, or <2228> gold <5557>, or <2228> pearls

<3135>, or <2228> costly <4185> array <2441>;

10 But (which <3739> becometh <0516> women <1135> professing

<1861> godliness <2317>) with good <0018> works <2041>.

11 Let the woman <1135> learn <3129> in silence <2271> with

all <3956> subjection <5292>.

12 But I suffer <2010> not a woman <1135> to teach <1321>, nor

<3761> to usurp <0831> authority <0831> over the man <0435>, but

to be in silence <2271>.

13 For Adam <0076> was first <4413> formed <4111>, then <1534>

Eve <2096>.

14 And Adam <0076> was not deceived <0538>, but the woman

<1135> being deceived <0538> was in the transgression <3847>.

15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved <4982> in childbearing

<5042>, if <1437> they continue <3306> in faith <4102> and

charity <0026> and holiness <0038> with sobriety <4997>.

1Timothy 3

1. This <3588> [is] a true <4103> saying <3056>, If <1487> a

man <5100> desire <3713> the office <1984> of a bishop <1984>,

he desireth <1937> a good <2570> work <2041>.

2 A bishop <1985> then <3767> must <1163> be blameless <0483>,

the husband <0435> of one <3391> wife <1135>, vigilant <3524>,

sober <4998>, of good behaviour <2887>, given to hospitality

<5382>, apt <1317> to teach <1317>;

3 Not given <3943> to wine <3943>, no <3361> striker <4131>,

not greedy <0866> of filthy lucre <0866>; but patient <1933>,

not a brawler <0269>, not covetous <0866>;

4 One that ruleth <4291> well <2573> his own <2398> house

<3624>, having <2192> his children <5043> in subjection <5292>

with all <3956> gravity <4587>;

5 (For if <1487> a man <5100> know <1492> not how to rule

<4291> his own <2398> house <3624>, how <4459> shall he take

care <1959> of the church <1577> of God <2316>?)

6 Not a novice <3504>, lest <3361> being lifted <5188> up with

pride <5187> he fall <1706> into <1519> the condemnation <2917>

of the devil <1228>.

7 Moreover <1161> he must <1163> have <2192> a good <2570>

report <3141> of them which are without <1855>; lest <3361> he

fall into <1519> reproach <3680> and the snare <3803> of the

devil <1228>.

8. Likewise <5615> [must] the deacons <1249> [be] grave <4586>,

not doubletongued <1351>, not given <4337> to much <4183> wine

<3631>, not greedy <0146> of filthy lucre <0146>;

9 Holding <2192> the mystery <3466> of the faith <4102> in a

pure <2513> conscience <4893>.

10 And let these <3778> also <2532> first <4412> be proved

<1381>; then <1534> let them use the office <1247> of a deacon

<1247>, being <5607> [found] blameless <0410>.

11 Even <5615> so <5615> [must their] wives <1135> [be] grave

<4586>, not slanderers <1228>, sober <3524>, faithful <4103> in

all <3956> things.

12 Let the deacons <1249> be the husbands <0435> of one <3391>

wife <1135>, ruling <4291> their children <5043> and their own

<2398> houses <3624> well <2573>.

13 For they that have used <1247> the office <1247> of a

deacon <1247> well <2573> purchase <4046> to themselves <1438> a

good <2570> degree <0898>, and great <4183> boldness <3954> in

the faith <4102> which <3588> is in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>.

14. These <5023> things write <1125> I unto thee, hoping <1679>

to come <2064> unto thee shortly <5032>:

15 But if <1437> I tarry <1019> long, that thou mayest know

<1492> how <4459> thou oughtest <1163> to behave <0390> thyself

in the house <3624> of God <2316>, which <3748> is the church

<1577> of the living <2198> God <2316>, the pillar <4769> and

ground <1477> of the truth <0225>.

16 And without <3672> controversy <3672> great <3173> is the

mystery <3466> of godliness <2150>: God <2316> was manifest

<5319> in the flesh <4561>, justified <1344> in the Spirit

<4151>, seen <3700> of angels <0032>, preached <2784> unto the

Gentiles <1484>, believed <4100> on in the world <2889>,

received <0353> up into <1722> glory <1391>.

1Timothy 4

1. Now <1161> the Spirit <4151> speaketh <3004> expressly

<4490>, that in the latter <5305> times <2540> some <5100> shall

depart <0868> from the faith <4102>, giving heed <4337> to

seducing <4108> spirits <4151>, and doctrines <1319> of devils

<1140>;

2 Speaking <5573> lies <5573> in hypocrisy <5272>; having

their conscience <4893> seared <2743> with a hot <2743> iron;

3 Forbidding <2967> to marry <1060>, [and commanding] to

abstain <0567> from meats <1033>, which <3739> God <2316> hath

created <2936> to be received <3336> with thanksgiving <2169> of

them which believe <4103> and know <1921> the truth <0225>.

4 For every <3956> creature <2938> of God <2316> [is] good

<2570>, and nothing <3762> to be refused <0579>, if it be

received <2983> with thanksgiving <2169>:

5 For it is sanctified <0037> by the word <3056> of God <2316>

and prayer <1783>.

6. If thou put <5294> the brethren <0080> in remembrance <5294>

of these <5023> things, thou shalt be a good <2570> minister

<1249> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, nourished <1789> up in the

words <3056> of faith <4102> and of good <2570> doctrine <1319>,

whereunto <3739> thou hast attained <3877>.

7 But refuse <3868> profane <0952> and old <1126> wives

<1126>' fables <3454>, and exercise <1128> thyself <4572>

[rather] unto godliness <2150>.

8 For bodily <4984> exercise <1129> profiteth <5624> little

<3641>: but godliness <2150> is profitable <5624> unto all

<3956> things, having <2192> promise <1860> of the life <2222>

that now <3568> is, and of that which is to come <3195>.

9 This <3588> [is] a faithful <4103> saying <3056> and worthy

<0514> of all <3956> acceptation <0594>.

10 For therefore <5124> we both <2532> labour <2872> and

suffer reproach <3679>, because <3754> we trust <1679> in the

living <2198> God <2316>, who <3739> is the Saviour <4990> of

all <3956> men <0444>, specially <3122> of those that believe

<4103>.

11 These <5023> things command <3853> and teach <1321>.

12 Let no <3367> man <3367> despise <2706> thy youth <3503>;

but be thou an example <5179> of the believers <4103>, in word

<3056>, in conversation <0391>, in charity <0026>, in spirit

<4151>, in faith <4102>, in purity <0047>.

13 Till <2193> I come <2064>, give attendance <4337> to

reading <0320>, to exhortation <3874>, to doctrine <1319>.

14 Neglect <0272> not the gift <5486> that is in thee, which

<3739> was given <1325> thee by prophecy <4394>, with the laying

<1936> on <1936> of the hands <5495> of the presbytery <4244>.

15 Meditate <3191> upon these <5023> things; give <2468>

thyself wholly <1722> to them; that thy profiting <4297> may

appear <5600> to all <3956>.

16 Take heed <1907> unto thyself <4572>, and unto the doctrine

<1319>; continue <1961> in them: for in doing <4160> this <5124>

thou shalt both <2532> save <4982> thyself <4572>, and them that

hear <0191> thee.

1Timothy 5

1. Rebuke <1969> not an elder <4245>, but intreat <3870> [him]

as a father <3962>; [and] the younger <3501> men as brethren

<0080>;

2 The elder <4245> women as mothers <3384>; the younger <3501>

as sisters <0079>, with all <3956> purity <0047>.

3. Honour <5091> widows <5503> that are widows <5503> indeed

<3689>.

4 But if <1487> any <5100> widow <5503> have <2192> children

<5043> or <2228> nephews <1549>, let them learn <3129> first

<4412> to shew <2151> piety <2151> at home <2398>, and to

requite <0287> their parents <4269>: for that is good <2570> and

acceptable <0587> before <1799> God <2316>.

5 Now <1161> she that is a widow <5503> indeed <3689>, and

desolate <3443>, trusteth <1679> in God <2316>, and continueth

<4357> in supplications <1162> and prayers <4335> night <3571>

and day <2250>.

6 But she that liveth <2198> in pleasure <4684> is dead <2348>

while she liveth <2198>.

7 And these <5023> things give in charge <3853>, that they may

be blameless <0483>.

8 But if <1487> any <5100> provide <4306> not for his own

<2398>, and specially <3122> for those <3588> of his own <2398>

house <3609>, he hath denied <0720> the faith <4102>, and is

worse <5501> than an infidel <0571>.

9 Let not a widow <5503> be taken <2639> into the number

<2639> under <1640> threescore <1835> years <2094> old, having

been <1096> the wife <1135> of one <1520> man <0435>,

10 Well <3140> reported <3140> of for good <2570> works <2041>;

if <1487> she have brought <5044> up children <5044>, if <1487>

she have lodged <3580> strangers <3580>, if <1487> she have

washed <3538> the saints <0040>' feet <4228>, if <1487> she have

relieved <1884> the afflicted <2346>, if <1487> she have

diligently followed <1872> every <3956> good <0018> work <2041>.

11 But the younger <3501> widows <5503> refuse <3868>: for

when <3752> they have begun <2691> to wax <2691> wanton <2691>

against <2691> Christ <5547>, they will <2309> marry <1060>;

12 Having <2192> damnation <2917>, because <3754> they have

cast <0114> off <0114> their first <4413> faith <4102>.

13 And withal <0260> they learn <3129> [to be] idle <0692>,

wandering <4022> about <4022> from house <3614> to house <3614>;

and not only <3440> idle <0692>, but tattlers <5397> also <2532>

and busybodies <4021>, speaking <2980> things which <3588> they

ought <1163> not.

14 I will <1014> therefore <3767> that the younger <3501>

women marry <1060>, bear <5041> children <5041>, guide <3616>

the house <3616>, give <1325> none <3361> occasion <0874> to the

adversary <0480> to speak reproachfully <5484>.

15 For some <5100> are already <2235> turned <1824> aside

<1824> after <3694> Satan <4567>.

16 If <1487> any <1536> man or <2228> woman that believeth

<4103> have <2192> widows <5503>, let them relieve <1884> them,

and let not the church <1577> be charged <0916>; that it may

relieve <1884> them that are widows <5503> indeed <3689>.

17. Let the elders <4245> that rule <4291> well <2573> be

counted <0515> worthy <0515> of double <1362> honour <5092>,

especially <3122> they who labour <2872> in the word <3056> and

doctrine <1319>.

18 For the scripture <1124> saith <3004>, Thou shalt not

muzzle <5392> the ox <1016> that treadeth <0248> out the corn.

And, The labourer <2040> [is] worthy <0514> of his reward <3408>.

19 Against <2596> an elder <4245> receive <3858> not an

accusation <2724>, but before <1909> two <1417> or <2228> three

<5140> witnesses <3144>.

20 Them that sin <0264> rebuke <1651> before <1799> all <3956>,

that others <3062> also <2532> may fear <2192>.

21 I charge <1263> [thee] before <1799> God <2316>, and the

Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, and the elect <1588>

angels <0032>, that thou observe <5442> these <5023> things

without <5565> preferring <4299> one before <4299> another

<4299>, doing <4160> nothing <3367> by partiality <4346>.

22 Lay <2007> hands <5495> suddenly <5030> on <2007> no <3367>

man <3367>, neither <3366> be partaker <2841> of other <0245>

men's sins <0266>: keep <5083> thyself <4572> pure <0053>.

23 Drink <5202> no <3371> longer <3371> water <5203>, but use

<5530> a little <3641> wine <3631> for thy stomach's <4751> sake

and thine <4675> often <4437> infirmities <0769>.

24 Some <5100> men's sins <0266> are open <4271> beforehand

<4271>, going <4254> before <4254> to judgment <2920>; and some

<5100> [men <0444>] they follow <1872> after <1872>.

25 Likewise <5615> also <2532> the good <2570> works <2041>

[of some] are manifest <4271> beforehand <4271>; and they that

are otherwise <0247> cannot <1410> be hid <2928>.

1Timothy 6

1. Let as many <3745> servants <1401> as are under <5259> the

yoke <2218> count <2233> their own <2398> masters <1203> worthy

<0514> of all <3956> honour <5092>, that the name <3686> of God

<2316> and [his] doctrine <1319> be not blasphemed <0987>.

2 And they that have <2192> believing <4103> masters <1203>,

let them not despise <2706> [them], because <3754> they are

brethren <0080>; but rather <3123> do <1398> [them] service

<1398>, because <3754> they are faithful <4103> and beloved

<0027>, partakers <0482> of the benefit <2108>. These <5023>

things teach <1321> and exhort <3870>.

3 If <1487> any <1536> man teach <2085> otherwise <2085>, and

consent <4334> not to wholesome <5198> words <3056>, [even] the

words of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, and to the

doctrine <1319> which is according <2596> to godliness <2150>;

4 He is proud <5187>, knowing <1987> nothing <3367>, but

doting <3552> about <4012> questions <2214> and strifes <3055>

of words <3055>, whereof <3739> cometh <1096> envy <5355>,

strife <2054>, railings <0988>, evil <4190> surmisings <5283>,

5 Perverse <3859> disputings <3859> of men <0444> of corrupt

<1311> minds <3563>, and destitute <0650> of the truth <0225>,

supposing <3543> that gain <4200> is godliness <2150>: from such

<5108> withdraw <0868> thyself.

6. But godliness <2150> with contentment <0841> is great <3173>

gain <4200>.

7 For we brought <1533> nothing <3762> into <1519> [this

<3588>] world <2889>, [and it is] certain <1212> we can <1410>

carry <1627> nothing <5100> out.

8 And having <2192> food <1305> and raiment <4629> let us be

therewith <5125> content <0714>.

9 But they that will <1014> be rich <4147> fall into <1519>

temptation <3986> and a snare <3803>, and [into <1519>] many

<4183> foolish <0453> and hurtful <0983> lusts <1939>, which

<3748> drown <1036> men <0444> in destruction <3639> and

perdition <0684>.

10 For the love <5365> of money <5365> is the root <4491> of

all <3956> evil <2556>: which <3739> while some <5100> coveted

<3713> after, they have erred <0635> from the faith <4102>, and

pierced <4044> themselves <1438> through <4044> with many <4183>

sorrows <3601>.

11 But thou, O man <0444> of God <2316>, flee <5343> these

<5023> things; and follow <1377> after righteousness <1343>,

godliness <2150>, faith <4102>, love <0026>, patience <5281>,

meekness <4236>.

12 Fight <0075> the good <2570> fight <0073> of faith <4102>,

lay <1949> hold <1949> on <1949> eternal <0166> life <2222>,

whereunto <3739> thou art also <2532> called <2564>, and hast

professed <3670> a good <2570> profession <3671> before <1799>

many <4183> witnesses <3144>.

13. I give thee charge <3853> in the sight <1799> of God <2316>,

who <3588> quickeneth <2227> all <3956> things, and [before]

Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, who <3588> before <1909> Pontius

<4194> Pilate <4091> witnessed <3140> a good <2570> confession

<3671>;

14 That thou keep <5083> [this <3588>] commandment <1785>

without <0784> spot <0784>, unrebukeable <0423>, until <3360>

the appearing <2015> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ

<5547>:

15 Which <3739> in his times <2540> he shall shew <1166>, [who

<3588> is] the blessed <3107> and only <3441> Potentate <1413>,

the King <0935> of kings <0936>, and Lord <2962> of lords <2961>;

16 Who <3588> only <3441> hath <2192> immortality <0110>,

dwelling <3611> in the light <5457> which <3739> no <3762> man

can approach <0676> unto; whom <3739> no <3762> man <0444> hath

seen <1492>, nor <3761> can <1410> see <1492>: to whom <3739>

[be] honour <5092> and power <2904> everlasting <0166>. Amen

<0281>.

17 Charge <3853> them that are rich <4145> in this <3568>

world <0165>, that they be not highminded <5309>, nor <3366>

trust <1679> in uncertain <0083> riches <4149>, but in the

living <2198> God <2316>, who <3588> giveth <3930> us richly

<4146> all <3956> things to enjoy <0619>;

18 That they do <0014> good <0014>, that they be rich <4147>

in good <2570> works <2041>, ready <2130> to distribute <2130>,

willing <2843> to communicate <2843>;

19 Laying <0597> up in store <0597> for themselves <1438> a

good <2570> foundation <2310> against <1519> the time <3195> to

come <3195>, that they may lay <1949> hold <1949> on <1949>

eternal <0166> life <2222>.

20 O Timothy <5095>, keep <5442> that which is committed

<3872> to thy trust, avoiding <1624> profane <0952> [and] vain

<2757> babblings <2757>, and oppositions <0477> of science

<1108> falsely <5581> so called <5581>:

21 Which <3739> some <5100> professing <1861> have erred

<0795> concerning <4012> the faith <4102>. Grace <5485> [be]

with thee. Amen <0281>.
