Book 54: 1 Timothy   By: King James Version

Book 54 1 Timothy

54:001:001 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;

54:001:002 Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

54:001:003 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,

54:001:004 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

54:001:005 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

54:001:006 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;

54:001:007 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

54:001:008 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;

54:001:009 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,

54:001:010 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;
