1:1
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;
1:2
Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
1:3
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,
1:4
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
1:5
Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
1:6
From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
1:7
Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
1:8
But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
1:9
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,
1:10
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;
1:11
According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
1:12
And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
1:13
Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
1:14
And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
1:15
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.
1:16
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.
1:17
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
1:18
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;
1ti:6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
2ti:2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
1ti:6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
2ti:4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
1:18 (tw) 我兒提摩太阿、我照從前指著你的豫言、將這命令交託你、叫你因此可以打那美好的仗.
1:18 (cn) 我儿提摩太阿,我照从前指着你的豫言,将这命令交托你,叫你因此可以打那美好的杖。
1:19
Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
1:20
Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
