To Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Or to give attention to stories and long lists of generations, from which come questionings and doubts, in place of God's ordered way of life which is in faith;

But the effect of the order is love coming from a clean heart, and a knowledge of what is right, and true faith:

Though I had said violent words against God, and done cruel acts, causing great trouble: but I was given mercy, because I did it without knowledge, not having faith;

And the grace of our Lord was very great, with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

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.

Keeping faith, and being conscious of well-doing; for some, by not doing these things, have gone wrong in relation to the faith:

And of this I became a preacher and an Apostle (what I say is true, not false,) and a teacher of the Gentiles in the true faith.

But if they go on in faith and love and holy self-control, she will be kept safe at the time of childbirth.

Keeping the secret of the faith in a heart free from sin.

For those who have done good work as Deacons get for themselves a good position and become free from fear in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

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.

But the Spirit says clearly that in later times some will be turned away from the faith, giving their minds to spirits of deceit, and the teachings of evil spirits,

Who keep men from being married and from taking food which God made to be taken with praise by those who have faith and true knowledge.

If you keep these things before the minds of the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, trained in the words of the faith and of the right teaching which has been your guide:

This is a true saying, in which all may put their faith.

And this is the purpose of all our work and our fighting, because our hope is in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, and specially of those who have faith.

Let no one make little of you because you are young, but be an example to the church in word, in behaviour, in love, in faith, in holy living.

If anyone has no care for his family and those in his house, he is false to the faith, and is worse than one who has no faith.

And they are judged because they have been false to their first faith;

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.

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.

Bitter talk of men who, being evil in mind and dead to what is true, take the faith to be a way of making profit.

But true faith, with peace of mind, is of great profit:

For the love of money is a root of all evil: and some whose hearts were fixed on it have been turned away from the faith, and been wounded with unnumbered sorrows.

But you, O man of God, keep yourself from these things, and go after righteousness, religion, faith, love, a quiet mind, gentle behaviour.

Be fighting the good fight of the faith; take for yourself the life eternal, for which you were marked out, and of which you gave witness in the eyes of all.

I give you orders before God, the giver of life, and Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate gave witness to the faith,

Through which some, who gave their minds to it, have been turned away from the faith. Grace be with you.
