From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain talk;

Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made it shipwreck:

Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have authority over the man, but to be in silence.

Moreover he must have a good report of them who are outside; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

For they that have used the office of a deacon well gain for themselves a good standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

If you put the brethren in remembrance of these things, you shall be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, which you have attained.

But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to grow wanton against Christ, they will marry;

Having judgment, because they have cast off their first faith.

And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are believers and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you are also called, and have professed a good profession before many witnesses.

Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.
