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

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

for kings and all who are in authority; in order that we may lead a peaceable and quiet life in all godliness and honesty.

who wishes all men to be saved, and to come to the perfect knowledge of the truth.

And assuredly great is the mystery of godliness; Who is manifested in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, was seen of angels, was preached among the Gentiles, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.

For unto this we toil and agonize, because we have hope in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of the faithful.

Take heed to yourself and the teaching: continue in these things; for doing this you will indeed save yourself and those who hear you.

Honor widows who are truly widows.

She who is truly a widow, and left alone, hopes in God, and abides in prayers and supplication night and day;

but she who is wanton is dead though living.

If any faithful woman has widows, let her support them, and let not the church be burdened; in order that she may give her attention to those who are truly widows.

Let the elders who stand before the people beautifully, be considered worthy of double remuneration, especially those laboring in the word and teaching.

Convict those who sin before all, in order that the rest may also have fear.

Let the servants so many as are under the yoke, esteem those who are their masters worthy of all honor, in order that the name and doctrine of God may not be blasphemed.

But let those that have faithful masters not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather let them serve them, because they are the faithful and beloved who are partaking of the benefaction. Command these things and exhort them.

I charge you before God, who creates life in all things, and Jesus Christ, who witnessed a beautiful testimony before Pontius Pilate,

he alone having immortality, inhabiting light unapproachable; whom no one of men has seen, or is able to see: to whom be honor and power eternal. Amen.

Charge the rich in this world not to think high things, nor to hope in uncertain riches, but in God, who richly supplies us all things for our enjoyment;
