to Timotheus his lawful son in the faith: grace, mercy, peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

I transmit these instructions to you, Timotheus my son, in accordance with what the prophets said who first directed me to you; fight the good fight on these lines,

and Adam was not deceived, it was Eve who was deceived and who fell into sin.

And who does not admit how profound is the divine truth of our religion? ??it is He who was "manifest in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by the angels, preached among the nations, believed on throughout the world, taken up to glory."

Those who are guilty of sin you must expose in public, to overawe the others.

Some people's sins are notorious and call for judgment, but in some cases sin only comes out afterwards.

who alone has immortality, who dwells in light that none can approach, whom no man has ever seen or can see. To him be honour and eternal dominion: Amen.
