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;

and the grace of our Lord came to me in overflowing fulness, conferring faith on me and the love which is in Christ Jesus.

This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

for this cause was mercy given unto me, that Jesus Christ should first show on me all long patience, unto the example of them which shall, in time to come, believe on him unto eternal life.

This charge I commit to thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which before came on thee, that by them thou mightest war a good warfare,

keeping hold of faith and a good conscience. Certain individuals have scouted the good conscience and thus come to grief over their faith ??20 including Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have made over to Satan. That will teach them to stop their blasphemous ongoings!

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

and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, into transgression came,

He ought not to be a new convert, for fear he should be blinded with pride and come under the same condemnation as the Devil.

These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:

For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

You have a gift that came to you transmitted by the prophets, when the presbytery laid their hands upon you; do not neglect that gift.

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.

If any teach otherwise, and come not up to the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine according to devotion;

he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and word-striving, out of which doth come envy, strife, evil-speakings, evil-surmisings,

For we came into the world with nothing, and we are not able to take anything out;

which appearing, when the time is come, he shall show that is blessed and mighty only, King of Kings, and Lord of lords,

Who only has life for ever, living in light to which no man may come near; whom no man has seen or is able to see: to whom be honour and power for ever. So be it.

Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
