1 Timothy

1Timothy 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Savior, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;AKJV — 1Timothy 1:1

2 To Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.AKJV — 1Timothy 1:2

3 As I sought you to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that you might charge some that they teach no other doctrine,AKJV — 1Timothy 1:3

4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.AKJV — 1Timothy 1:4

5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:AKJV — 1Timothy 1:5

6 From which some having swerved have turned aside to vain jangling;AKJV — 1Timothy 1:6

7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.AKJV — 1Timothy 1:7

8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;AKJV — 1Timothy 1:8

9 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 murderers,AKJV — 1Timothy 1:9

10 For fornicators, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for enslavers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;AKJV — 1Timothy 1:10

11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.AKJV — 1Timothy 1:11

12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;AKJV — 1Timothy 1:12

13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.AKJV — 1Timothy 1:13

14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.AKJV — 1Timothy 1:14

15 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.AKJV — 1Timothy 1:15

16 However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.AKJV — 1Timothy 1:16

17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.AKJV — 1Timothy 1:17

18 This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on you, that you by them might war a good warfare;AKJV — 1Timothy 1:18

19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:AKJV — 1Timothy 1:19

20 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.AKJV — 1Timothy 1:20
