As I requested you to remain at Ephesus, when going into Macedonia, that you might charge some not to preach another doctrine,

knowing this, that a law is not made for a righteous man, but for the wicked and disorderly, the impious and sinful, the unholy and profane, murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers and murderers of their fellow-men,

but on this account I obtained mercy, that Jesus Christ might exhibit in me first all long-suffering, for an example to those who should hereafter believe in him to life eternal.

of which I was made a herald and an apostle,?? speak the truth, I lie not,?? teacher of nations in faith and truth.

who forbid to marry, [command] to abstain from meat, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by the faithful and those who know the truth.

Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were called and made the good profession before many witnesses.

I charge you before the God who gives life to all [creatures], and Christ Jesus who made the good profession before Pontius Pilate,
