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

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

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; -

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

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

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

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

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:

This, is comely and acceptable before our Saviour God,

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

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

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

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.

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;

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

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

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.

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;

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, -

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:

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

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.

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: -

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

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

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,

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

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