   1) 1 Timothy 1, 1 Timothy 2, 1 Timothy 3, 1 Timothy 4, 1 Timothy 5,   
   1 Timothy 6   
      
   1 Timothy 1   
      
   Salutation   
      
   1 (Titus 1:3; Col 1:27; Lk 1:47) Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by   
   the command of God our Savior, and of the Lord Jesus Christ, our hope,   
   2 (2Ti 1:2; Titus 1:4; Ro 1:7) To Timothy, my true son in the faith:   
   Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.   
      
   [1] Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour,   
   and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;   
   [2] Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God   
   our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.   
      
   Warning Against False Doctrine   
      
   3 (Gal 1:6-7; 1Ti 6:3) As I urged you when I went into Macedonia,   
   continue to remain at Ephesus so that you might command some to teach   
   no other doctrine,   
   4 (1Ti 4:7; Titus 1:14) nor pay attention to fables and endless genealogies,   
   which cause debates rather than godly edifying, which is in faith.   
   5 (2Ti 1:5; 2:22) Now the goal of this command is love from a pure heart,   
   and from a good conscience, and from sincere faith.   
   6 (Titus 1:10) From this, some have lost their way and turned aside   
   to empty talk,   
   7 (1Ti 6:4) desiring to be teachers of the law, and understanding   
   neither what they say nor what they affirm.   
   8 (Ro 7:16) But we know that the law is good if someone uses it lawfully.   
   9 (Gal 5:23; 3:19) And we know that the law is not given for a righteous   
   person, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners,   
   for the unholy and the profane, for those who kill their fathers and mothers,   
   for murderers,   
   10 (2Ti 4:3; Lev 18:22) for the sexually immoral, for sodomites, for slave   
   traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for anything else that is contrary   
   to sound doctrine,   
   11 (Gal 2:7; 2Co 4:4) according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God,   
   which was committed to my trust.   
      
   [3] 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,   
   [4] Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister   
   questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.   
   [5] Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a   
   good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:   
   [6] From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;   
   [7] Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say,   
   nor whereof they affirm.   
   [8] But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;   
   [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 manslayers,   
   [10] 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;   
   [11] According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was   
   committed to my trust.   
      
   Thankfulness for Mercy   
      
   12 (Php 4:13; Ac 9:15) I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has enabled me,   
   because He counted me faithful and appointed me to the ministry.   
   13 (Ac 8:3; 3:17) I was previously a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and an   
   insolent man. But I was shown mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.   
   14 (2Ti 1:13) The grace of our Lord overflowed with the faith   
   and love which is in Christ Jesus.   
   15 (1Ti 3:1; 2Ti 2:11) This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance,   
   that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the worst.   
   16 (1Ti 1:13; Eph 2:7) But I received mercy for this reason, that in me,   
   first, Jesus Christ might show all patience, as an example to those who were   
   to believe in Him for eternal life.   
   17 (Col 1:15; Mt 6:13) Now to the eternal, immortal, invisible King, the only   
   wise God, be honor and glory forever. Amen.   
   18 (1Ti 4:14; 1:2) This command I commit to you, my son Timothy, according   
   to the prophecies that were previously given to you, that by them you might   
   fight a good fight,   
   19 (1Ti 1:5; 3:9) keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have   
   rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith.   
   20 (2Ti 2:17; Ac 13:45) Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have   
   delivered to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.   
      
   [12] And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he   
   counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;   
   [13] Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I   
   obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.   
   [14] And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love   
   which is in Christ Jesus.   
   [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.   
   [16] 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.   
   [17] Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be   
   honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.   
   [18] 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;   
   [19] Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away   
   concerning faith have made shipwreck:   
   [20] Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan,   
   that they may learn not to blaspheme.   
      
   1 Timothy 2   
      
   Instructions Concerning Prayer   
      
   1 Therefore I exhort first of all that you make supplications, prayers,   
   intercessions, and thanksgivings for everyone,   
   2 (Ezr 6:10) for kings and for all who are in authority, that we may lead   
   a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and honesty,   
   3 (1Ti 1:1; Lk 1:47) for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God   
   our Saviour,   
   4 (Eze 18:23; 18:32) who desires all men to be saved and to come   
   to the knowledge of the truth.   
   5 (Gal 3:20; 1Co 8:6; Dt 6:4) There is one God and one mediator between God   
   and men, the Man Christ Jesus,   
   6 (1Co 1:6; 1Ti 6:15) who gave Himself as a ransom for all.   
   This was the testimony given at the proper time.   
   7 (Ac 9:15; 2Ti 1:11) For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle   
   (I speak the truth in Christ and do not lie), a teacher of the Gentiles   
   in faith and truth.   
   8 (Ps 134:2; Jn 4:21) Therefore I desire that the men pray everywhere, lifting   
   up holy hands, without wrath or contentiousness.   
   9 In like manner also, that women clothe themselves in modest clothing, with   
   decency and self-control, not with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive   
   clothing,
