It is a true saying, in which all may put their faith, that Christ Jesus came into the world to give salvation to sinners, of whom I am the chief:

But for this reason I was given mercy, so that in me, the chief of sinners, Jesus Christ might make clear all his mercy, as an example to those who in the future would have faith in him to eternal life.

This is the charge which I entrust to you, my son Timothy, in accordance with the inspired instructions concerning you which were given me long ago, that being equipped with them as your armour you may be continually fighting the good fight,

Such are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have given up to Satan, so that they may say no more evil words against God.

My desire is, first of all, that you will make requests and prayers and give praise for all men;

who did give himself a ransom for all -- the testimony in its own times --

to give which testimony I have been appointed a preacher and an apostle; (I speak the truth, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faithfulness and in truth.

It is my desire, then, that in every place men may give themselves to prayer, lifting up holy hands, without wrath or argument.

A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

(If a man does not know how to rule his own household, how shall he have the Church of God given into his care?)

Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;

Wives, in the same way, - dignified, not given to intrigue, sober, faithful in all things.

And without argument, great is the secret of religion: He who was seen in the flesh, who was given God's approval in the spirit, was seen by the angels, of whom the good news was given among the nations, in whom the world had faith, who was taken up in glory.

The spirit speaketh evidently that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, and shall give heed unto spirits of error,

who forbid people to marry and insist on abstinence from certain kinds of food that God created for men who believe and understand the truth to enjoy and give thanks for.

But have nothing to do with unclean and foolish stories. Give yourself training in religion:

Give these orders and teach these lessons.

don't give occasion to any to despise your youth: but be a pattern to believers in your discourse, in your behaviour, by your charity, faith and chastity.

Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.

Give heed to thyself and to the teaching; continue in them; for, doing this, thou shalt save both thyself and those that hear thee.

Honor and help those widows who are truly widowed [alone, and without support].

and if any widow have children or grandchildren, let them learn first to their own house to show piety, and to give back a recompense to the parents, for this is right and acceptable before God.

and she who is given to luxury, living -- hath died;

And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.

She must have been true to her one husband, and well reported of for good deeds, as having brought up children, received strangers hospitably, washed the feet of God's people, given relief to the distressed, and devoted herself to good works of every kind.

But the younger widows reject: for when they give themselves to wantonness contrary to Christ, they will marry;

I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

As it is, some widows have already turned after Satan. ??16 Any believer, man or woman, who has widowed relatives, must give them relief; the church is not to be burdened with them; she has to relieve the widows who really need relief.

If any woman of the faith has relations who are widows, let her give them help, so that the care of them does not come on the church, and so it may give help to those who are truly widowed.

Do not take as true any statement made against one in authority, but only if two or three give witness to it.

I give you orders before God and Christ Jesus and the angels of God's selection, to keep these orders without giving thought to one side more than another.

[Give up being a total abstainer; take a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent attacks of illness.]

Let all who are servants under the yoke give all honour to their masters, so that no evil may be said against the name of God and his teaching.

And let those whose masters are of the faith have respect for them because they are brothers, working for them the more readily, because those who take part in the good work are of the faith and are dear. Give orders and teaching about these things.

If any man gives different teaching, not in agreement with the true words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the teaching which is in agreement with true religion,

he is puffed up with pride and has no true knowledge, but is crazy over discussions and controversies about words which give rise to envy, quarrelling, revilings, ill-natured suspicions,

I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;

Give orders to those who have money and goods in this life, not to be lifted up in their minds, or to put their hope in the uncertain chances of wealth, but in God who gives us in full measure all things for our use;

And to do good, having wealth in good works, being quick to give, taking part with one another;

O Timothy, take good care of that which is given to you, turning away from the wrong and foolish talk and arguments of that knowledge which is falsely so named;

To Timothy, my dear Child, from Paul who, by the will of God, is an Apostle of Christ Jesus, charged to proclaim the Life that comes from union with Christ Jesus. May God, the Father, and Christ Jesus, our Lord, bless you, and be merciful to you, and give you peace.

to my dear child Timothy; God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord bless you and be merciful to you and give you peace.

I give praise to God, whose servant I have been, with a heart free from sin, from the time of my fathers, because in my prayers at all times the thought of you is with me, night and day

For this reason I say to you, Let that grace of God which is in you, given to you by my hands, have living power.

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

And for which I undergo these things: but I have no feeling of shame. For I have knowledge of him in whom I have faith, and I am certain that he is able to keep that which I have given into his care till that day.

That good thing which was given to you keep safe, through the Holy Spirit which is in us.

The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:

may the Lord give to him to find kindness from the Lord in that day; and how many things in Ephesus he did minister thou dost very well know.

And the things which I have said to you before a number of witnesses, give to those of the faith, so that they may be teachers of others.

Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

Keep in mind Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, who came back from the dead, as my good news gives witness:

Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth.

Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God [which He has laid] stands [sure and unshaken despite attacks], bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord stand apart from wickedness and withdraw from wrongdoing.”

But avoid foolish and unlearned questions, knowing that they give birth to strifes.

In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, uplifted in pride, given to bitter words, going against the authority of their fathers, never giving praise, having no religion,

without natural affection, accepting no truce, given to intrigue, without self-control, uncivilized, unfriendly to good men,

But see that you keep to the teaching you have been given and the things of which you are certain, conscious of who has been your teacher;

and how from childhood you have known the sacred writings (Hebrew Scriptures) which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus [surrendering your entire self to Him and having absolute confidence in His wisdom, power and goodness].

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

I give you orders, before God and Christ Jesus, who will be the judge of the living and the dead, and by his revelation and his kingdom;

Be preaching the word at all times, in every place; make protests, say sharp words, give comfort, with long waiting and teaching;

and shall turn their ears from the truth, and shall be given unto fables:

But be self-controlled in all things, do without comfort, go on preaching the good news, completing the work which has been given you to do.

Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

Give diligence to come shortly unto me:

Alexander the copper-worker did me much wrong: the Lord will give him the reward of his works:

But the Lord was by my side and gave me strength; so that through me the news might be given out in full measure, and all the Gentiles might give ear: and I was taken out of the mouth of the lion.

The Lord will keep me safe from every evil work and will give me salvation in his kingdom in heaven: to whom be glory for ever and ever. So be it.

Give my greetings to Prisca and Aquila, and to the household of Onesiphorus.

Give diligence to come before winter. Eubulus saluteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.

and gives the expectation of eternal life, which the God of veracity promised so many ages ago;

To Titus, my true Child in our one Faith: May God, the Father, and Christ Jesus, our Savior, bless you and give you peace.

Men having a good record, husbands of one wife, whose children are of the faith, children of whom it may not be said that they are given to loose living or are uncontrolled.

For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;

but given to hospitality, as lover of good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled;

He must hold firmly to the trustworthy word [of God] as it was taught to him, so that he will be able both to give accurate instruction in sound [reliable, error-free] doctrine and to refute those who contradict [it by explaining their error].

not paying attention to Jewish myths and the commandments and rules of men who turn their backs on the truth.

The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

they must give good counsel, so that the young women may be trained to love their husbands and children,

To the young men give orders to be wise and serious-minded:

let the instruction that you give be sound and above reproach, so that the enemy may be ashamed when he fails to find anything bad to say about us.

Urge bond-servants to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be pleasing and not talk back,

It instructs us to give up ungodly living and worldly desires and to live sensible, righteous and godly lives in this present age,

who did give himself for us, that he might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works;

On all these points give teaching and help, and make clear what is right with all authority. Let all men give you honour.

To say no evil of any man, not to be fighters, to give way to others, to be gentle in behaviour to all men.

So that, having been given righteousness through grace, we might have a part in the heritage, the hope of eternal life.

This is a true saying; and it is my desire that you may give certain witness about these things, so that those who have had faith in God may give attention to good works. These things are good and of profit to men;

A man that is given to heresy, after the first and the second admonition; avoid,

When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, give diligence to come unto me to Nicopolis: for there I have determined to winter.

Give a hearty send-off to Zenas the jurist and Apollos; see that they want for nothing.

All who are with me send you their love. Give our love to our friends in the faith. Grace be with you all.

May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.

I give thanks to my God, always making mention of thee in my prayers,
