1 Timothy 1:18-20 - Paul's Charge To Timothy

¹⁸ 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. ¹⁹ Holding faith and a good conscience, - which some, thrusting from them, concerning their faith, have made shipwreck: - ²⁰ Of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may be taught by discipline not to be defaming.

¹ I adjure thee before God, and Christ Jesus - Who is about to be judging living and dead, - both as to his forthshining and his kingdom, ² Proclaim the word, take thy position - in season, out of season, - convince, rebuke, encourage, - with all long-suffering and teaching. ³ For there will be a season - when, the healthful teaching, they will not endure, but, according to their own covetings, will, unto themselves, heap up teachers, because they have an itching ear, ⁴ And, from the truth, indeed, their ear, will they turn away, while, unto stories, they will turn themselves aside. ⁵ But, thou, - be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do, the work, of an evangelist, thy ministry, completely fulfill;

⁶ For, I, already, am being poured out as a drink-offering, and, the season of my release, is at hand, - ⁷ The noble contest, have I contested, the race, have I finished, the faith, have I kept: ⁸ Henceforth, lieth by for me - the crown, of righteousness, which the Lord will render unto me in that, day, - The righteous judge, - Ye, not alone unto me, but unto all them also who have loved his forthshining.
