For there is, one, God, one, mediator also, between God and men, - a man - Christ Jesus:

Howbeit, the Spirit, expressly saith - that, in later seasons, some will revolt from the faith, giving heed unto seducing spirits, and unto teachings of demons -

I exhort, therefore, first of all, that there be made - supplications, prayers, intercessions, thankgivings, in behalf of all men,

If anyone, for oversight, is eager, a noble work, doth he covet: -

And, confessedly great, is the sacred secret of godliness, - Who was made manifest in flesh, was declared righteous in spirit, was made visible unto messengers, was proclaimed among nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.

Let, no one, despise, thy youth, but, an ensample, become thou of the faithful, - in discourse, in behaviour, in love, in faith, in chastity.

But, if I should tarry, that thou mayest know - how it behoveth, in a house of God, to behave oneself, - the which, is an assembly a of a Living God, a pillar and basement of the truth; -

Whereas, if anyone, over his own house, cannot, preside, how, of an assembly of God, shall he take care?

For, nothing, brought we into the world, neither, to take anything out, are we able; -

Let, a woman, in quietness, be learning in all submission;

In the same way, that, the women, in seemly attire, with modesty and sober-mindedness, be adorning themselves, - not with plaitings and ornamentation of gold, or with pearls, or with costly apparel, -

For, a root of all the vices, is the love of money, which, some, being eager for, have been seduced from the faith, and have pierced, themselves, about with many pangs.

Faithful, the saying! and, of all acceptance, worthy, - that, Christ Jesus, came into the world, sinners, to save: of whom, the chief, am, I; -

Now it is a great means of gain - godliness, with a sufficiency of ones own;

Who willeth, all men, to be saved, and, unto a personal knowledge of truth, to come;

It is needful, then, for, the overseer, to be irreproachable, a husband, of one wife, sober, of sound mind, orderly, hospitable, apt in teaching,

Not to be teaching otherwise, nor yet to be giving heed to stories and endless genealogies, - the which, bring, arguings, rather than that stewardship of God which is with faith; -

But, teaching - unto a woman, I do not permit, nor yet to have authority over a man, - but to be in quietness;

For it is hallowed by the word of God and intercession,

And, having sustenance and covering, we shall be content;

Now, unto the King of the ages, - incorruptible, invisible, alone God, be honour and glory, unto the ages of ages, Amen!

Whereas, she that runneth riot, while living, is, dead:

If, however, anyone, for his own, and specially them of his household, taketh not forethought, his faith, hath he denied, and is worse, than one without faith!

Let, the well presiding elders, of double honour, be accounted worthy, especially they who toil in discourse and teaching;

Upon them who are rich in the present age, lay thou charge - not to be high-minded, nor to have set their hope on, riches', uncertainty, - but on God, who offereth us all things richly for enjoying,

Even as I exhorted thee to remain in Ephesus, when I was journeying into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some -

I am minded, therefore, that - the men in every place be offering prayer, uplifting hands of lovingkindness, apart from anger and disputings;

Grateful, am I unto him that empowered me, Christ Jesus our Lord, in that, faithful, he accounted me, putting me into ministry, -

Which some, missing, have turned them aside unto idle talk,

Not a new convert, lest, being beclouded, into the sentence of the adversary, he fall;

Desiring to be law-teachers, - not understanding, either what they say or whereof they confidently affirm.

This, is comely and acceptable before our Saviour God,

If anyone doth otherwise teach, and doth not adhere to healthful discourses - those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the teaching that is, according to godliness,

According to the glad-message of the glory of the happy God, with which entrusted am, I.

Ministers, in the same way, - dignified, not double-tongued, not, to much wine, given, not greedy of base gain,

That thou keep the commandment without spot, free from reproach, until the forthshining of our Lord Jesus Christ -

Though, formerly, a defamer, and persecutor, and insulter; nevertheless mercy was shown me, because, without knowledge, I acted, in unbelief:

O Timothy! that which hath been entrusted, do thou guard, avoiding the profane pratings and oppositions of falsely named knowledge, -

Be contesting the noble contest of the faith, - lay hold of the age-abiding life - unto which thou wast called, and didst make the noble confession before many witnesses.

But, they who are determined to be rich, fall into temptation, and a snare, and many foolish and hurtful covetings, the which, sink men into ruin and destruction, -

It is needful, moreover, to have, an honourable testimony also, from them who are without, lest, into reproach, he fall, and the snare of the adversary.

And, these things, be giving in charge, that, without reproach, they may be;

Yet exceeding abundant was the favour of our Lord, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

Nevertheless, on this account, was mercy shewn me, - that, in me, the chief, Christ Jesus might shew forth his entire longsuffering, for an ensample of them about to believe on him unto life age-abiding.

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

Let, a widow, be put on the list - having become, not less than sixty years old, one man's, wife,

Holding the sacred secret of the faith in a pure conscience;

Of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may be taught by discipline not to be defaming.

I charge thee, before God, who engendereth life in all things, and Christ Jesus, who, before Pontius Pilate, witnessed the noble confession,

Holding faith and a good conscience, - which some, thrusting from them, concerning their faith, have made shipwreck: -

In noble works, being well-attested; - if she hath nourished children, if she hath shewn hospitality, if, saints feet, she hath washed, if, them who were in tribulation, she hath succoured, if, in every good, work she hath followed on:

Treasuring up for themselves a good foundation for the future, that they may lay hold on the life which is life indeed.

But let, these also, be proved first, then, let them be ministering, being, unaccusable:

Let, ministers, be husbands of, one wife, over children, presiding, well, and over their own houses;

But, younger widows, decline thou; for, as soon as they wax wanton against the Christ, to marry, are they determined, -

These things, unto thee, I am writing, hoping to come unto theeshortly, -

To be doing good, to be rich in noble works, to be, generous in giving, ready for fellowship, -

At the same time, to be idlers, are they learning, going about from house to house; and, not only idlers, but, gossips, also, and, busybodies, - saying the things they ought not,

Faithful, the saying! and, of all acceptance, worthy;

For, they who have ministered well, a good degree for themselves, are acquiring, and great freedom of speech in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

Which, some professing, concerning the faith, have missed the mark! Favour be with you.

For, already, some have turned aside after Satan:

They, however, that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are, brethren but, the more, be doing them service, because, believing and beloved, are they who, from the good workmanship, receive advantage. These things, be teaching, and exhorting: -

Be giving these things in charge, and be teaching: -

But, them who are sinning, before all, do thou reprove, that, the rest also, may have, fear: -

I am minded, therefore, that, the younger ones, marry, bear children, be mistress of the house, - giving, no single occasion, unto the opposer, as a cause, of reviling;

Not given to wine, not ready to wound, but considerate, averse to contention, not fond of money,

Having, as sentence, - that, their first faith, they have set at nought;

If any, believing woman, hath widows, let her be giving them succour, and not suffer the assembly to be burdened, - that, them who are indeed widows, it may itself succour.

He is beclouded, knowing, nothing, rightly, but is diseased about questionings, and word-battles - out of which spring envy, strife, defamations, wicked surmising,

Widows, honour thou - who indeed are widows: -

Hands, suddenly, upon no one, lay, neither have fellowship with sins of strangers: thyself, keep, chaste: -

I adjure thee, before God, and Christ Jesus, and the chosen messengers, that, these things, thou observe, apart from prejudgment, doing, nothing, by partiality.

Elderly women, as mothers, younger women, as sisters, in all chastity.

But, she who is indeed a widow, and is left alone, hath turned her hope towards God, and is giving attendance unto the supplications and the prayers, night and day, -

Howbeit, if, any widow, hath, children or grandchildren, let them be learning - first, unto their own house, to be shewing reverence, and, returns, to be making unto their progenitors; for, this, is acceptable before God;

Unto which, I, have been appointed proclaimer and apostle - Truth I speak, I utter no falsehood - a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.

Some men's sins, are, openly evident, leading on into judgment, with some, however, they even follow after;

But, which becometh women promising godliness, through means of good works.

In the same way, the noble works also, are openly evident, - and, they that are otherwise, cannot be hid.

in hypocrisy, speaking falsehood, of demons cauterised in their own conscience, -

These things, be thy care, in these things, be thou, that, thine advancement, may be, manifest, unto all:

In behalf of kings, and all them who are, in eminent station; in order that, an undisturbed, and quiet life, we may lead, in all godliness and gravity:

Because, every creature of God, is good, and nothing to be cast away, if, with thanksgiving, it be received, -

Forbidding to marry, commanding to abstain from foods which, God, created to be received with thanksgiving by them who believe and personally know the truth;

But, thou, O man of God! from these things, flee! and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, meekness;

Now, the end of the charge, is love - out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and faith unfeigned, -

Be giving heed to thyself, and to thy teaching, - abide still in them; for, this doing, both, thyself, shalt thou save, and them that hearken to thee.

Let, as many as are servants under a yoke, be counting, their own masters, worthy, of all honour, lest, the name of God and the teaching, be defamed.

But, from the profane and old-wives' stories, excuse thyself, and be training thyself unto godliness;

Knowing this - that, to a righteous man, law, doth not apply, but to the lawless and insubordinate, ungodly and sinful, irreligious and profane, smiters of fathers and smiters of mothers, murderers,

Be not careless of the gift of favour, that is in thee, which was given thee through means of prophesying, along with a laying on of the hands of the eldership.

fornicators, sodomites, man-stealers, liars, false- swearers, - and, if anything else, unto the healthful teaching, is opposed; -

Which, in its own fit times, the happy and only Potentate will shew - the King of them that reign, and Lord of them that wield lordship,

For, to this end, are we toiling and contending, because we have set our hope on a Living God, Who is Saviour of all men - specially, of such as believe.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus - by injunction of God our Saviour and Christ Jesus our hope, -

While I am coming, be giving heed - to the reading, to the exhorting, to the teaching:

Now we know that, excellent, is the law, if one put it to a lawful use: -

For, the bodily training, for little, is profitable, whereas, godliness, for all things is profitable, - having, promise, of life - the present and the coming.

Who alone hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable, - Whom no man hath seen - nor can see: unto whom, be honour and might age-abiding. Amen.

These things, submitting to the brethren, thou shall be, a noble, minister of Christ Jesus, nourishing thyself with the words of the faith, and of the noble teaching which thou hast closely studied.

No longer, be a water-drinker, but, of a little wine, make use, because of thy stomach and thy, frequent, sicknesses.

An elderly man, do not thou reprimand, but beseech him, as though he were thy father, - younger men, as brothers,

This charge, I commit unto thee, child Timothy, According to the prophecies, running before on thee, in order that thou mightest war, with them, the noble warfare.

She shall be saved, however, through means of the child-bearing, - if they abide in faith, and love, and holiness, with sobermindedness. Faithful, the saying.

For the scripture saith - A threshing ox, shalt thou not muzzle, and - Worthy, is the workman, of his hire.

Over his own house, presiding, well, having, children, in submission, with all dignity;

Against an elder, entertain not, an accusation, except at, the mouth of two, or three, witnesses;

Who gave himself a ransom in behalf of all, - the testimony, in its own fit times:

For, Adam, first was formed, then Eve,

unto Timothy, my true child in faith: favour, mercy, peace, from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.

And, Adam, was not deceived, whereas, the woman, having been wholly deceived, hath come to be, in transgression;

incessant quarrellings of men wholly corrupt in their mind and bereft of the truth, - supposing godliness to be, a means of gain!
