Paul{G3972}, an apostle{G652} of Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547} by{G2596} the commandment{G2003} of God{G2316} our{G2257} Saviour{G4990}, and{G2532} Lord{G2962} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547}, which{G3588} is our{G2257} hope{G1680};

Unto Timothy{G5095}, my own{G1103} son{G5043} in{G1722} the faith{G4102}: Grace{G5485}, mercy{G1656}, and peace{G1515}, from{G575} God{G2316} our{G2257} Father{G3962} and{G2532} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547} our{G2257} Lord{G2962}.

As{G2531} I besought{G3870}{(G5656)} thee{G4571} to abide still{G4357}{(G5658)} at{G1722} Ephesus{G2181}, when I went{G4198}{(G5740)} into{G1519} Macedonia{G3109}, that{G2443} thou mightest charge{G3853}{(G5661)} some{G5100} that they teach{G2085} no{G3361} other doctrine{G2085}{(G5721)},

Neither{G3366} give heed{G4337}{(G5721)} to fables{G3454} and{G2532} endless{G562} genealogies{G1076}, which{G3748} minister{G3930}{(G5719)} questions{G2214}, rather{G3123} than{G2228} godly{G2316} edifying{G3620} which{G3588} is in{G1722} faith{G4102}: so do.

Now{G1161} the end{G5056} of the commandment{G3852} is{G2076}{(G5748)} charity{G26} out of{G1537} a pure{G2513} heart{G2588}, and{G2532} of a good{G18} conscience{G4893}, and{G2532} of faith{G4102} unfeigned{G505}:

From which{G3739} some{G5100} having swerved{G795}{(G5660)} have turned aside{G1624}{(G5648)} unto{G1519} vain jangling{G3150};

Desiring{G2309}{(G5723)} to be{G1511}{(G5750)} teachers of the law{G3547};{G3361} understanding{G3539}{(G5723)} neither{G3383} what{G3739} they say{G3004}{(G5719)}, nor{G3383} whereof{G4012}{G5101} they affirm{G1226}{(G5736)}.

But{G1161} we know{G1492}{(G5758)} that{G3754} the law{G3551} is good{G2570}, if{G1437} a man{G5100} use{G5530}{(G5741)} it{G846} lawfully{G3545};

Knowing{G1492}{(G5761)} this{G5124}, that{G3754} the law{G3551} is{G2749} not{G3756} made{G2749}{(G5736)} for a righteous man{G1342}, but{G1161} for the lawless{G459} and{G2532} disobedient{G506}, for the ungodly{G765} and{G2532} for sinners{G268}, for unholy{G462} and{G2532} profane{G952}, for murderers of fathers{G3964} and{G2532} murderers of mothers{G3389}, for manslayers{G409},

For whoremongers{G4205}, for them that defile themselves with mankind{G733}, for menstealers{G405}, for liars{G5583}, for perjured persons{G1965}, and{G2532} if there be any{G1536} other thing{G2087} that is contrary{G480}{(G5736)} to sound{G5198}{(G5723)} doctrine{G1319};

According{G2596} to the glorious{G1391} gospel{G2098} of the blessed{G3107} God{G2316}, which{G3739} was committed to{G4100} my{G1473} trust{G4100}{(G5681)}.

And{G2532} I thank{G2192}{(G5719)}{G5485} Christ{G5547} Jesus{G2424} our{G2257} Lord{G2962}, who{G3588} hath enabled{G1743}{(G5660)} me{G3165}, for{G3754} that he counted{G2233}{(G5662)} me{G3165} faithful{G4103}, putting me{G5087}{(G5642)} into{G1519} the ministry{G1248};

Who{G3588} was{G5607}{(G5752)} before{G4386} a blasphemer{G989}, and{G2532} a persecutor{G1376}, and{G2532} injurious{G5197}: but{G235} I obtained mercy{G1653}{(G5681)}, because{G3754} I did{G4160}{(G5656)} it ignorantly{G50}{(G5723)} in{G1722} unbelief{G570}.

And{G1161} the grace{G5485} of our{G2257} Lord{G2962} was exceeding abundant{G5250}{(G5656)} with{G3326} faith{G4102} and{G2532} love{G26} which{G3588} is in{G1722} Christ{G5547} Jesus{G2424}.

This is a faithful{G4103} saying{G3056}, and{G2532} worthy{G514} of all{G3956} acceptation{G594}, that{G3754} Christ{G5547} Jesus{G2424} came{G2064}{(G5627)} into{G1519} the world{G2889} to save{G4982}{(G5658)} sinners{G268}; of whom{G3739} I{G1473} am{G1510}{(G5748)} chief{G4413}.

Howbeit{G235} for this{G5124} cause{G1223} I obtained mercy{G1653}{(G5681)}, that{G2443} in{G1722} me{G1698} first{G4413} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547} might shew forth{G1731}{(G5672)} all{G3956} longsuffering{G3115}, for{G4314} a pattern{G5296} to them which should hereafter{G3195}{(G5723)} believe{G4100}{(G5721)} on{G1909} him{G846} to{G1519} life{G2222} everlasting{G166}.

Now{G1161} unto the King{G935} eternal{G165}, immortal{G862}, invisible{G517}, the only{G3441} wise{G4680} God{G2316}, be honour{G5092} and{G2532} glory{G1391} for{G1519} ever{G165} and ever{G165}. Amen{G281}.

This{G5026} charge{G3852} I commit{G3908}{(G5731)} unto thee{G4671}, son{G5043} Timothy{G5095}, according to{G2596} the prophecies{G4394} which went before{G4254}{(G5723)} on{G1909} thee{G4571}, that{G2443} thou{G4754} by{G1722} them{G846} mightest war{G4754}{(G5735)} a good{G2570} warfare{G4752};

Holding{G2192}{(G5723)} faith{G4102}, and{G2532} a good{G18} conscience{G4893}; which{G3739} some{G5100} having put away{G683}{(G5666)} concerning{G4012} faith{G4102} have made shipwreck{G3489}{(G5656)}:

Of whom{G3739} is{G2076}{(G5748)} Hymenaeus{G5211} and{G2532} Alexander{G223}; whom{G3739} I have delivered{G3860}{(G5656)} unto Satan{G4567}, that{G2443} they may learn{G3811}{(G5686)} not{G3361} to blaspheme{G987}{(G5721)}.
