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

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

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

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

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

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; -

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;

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

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;

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

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

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

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.
