I have thanks for Him Who empowered me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because He accounted me faithful, putting me into His service,

Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief;

of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered up to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.

for kings, and all who are in high position, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity.

Who wisheth all men to be saved, and to come into a full knowledge of truth.

Who gave Himself a ransom for all, the testimony for its own times,

forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods, which God created for reception with thanksgiving by those who believe and have full knowledge of the truth.

For to this end we labor and strive, because we have set our hope on the living God, Who is Savior of all men, especially of believers.

Take heed to yourself, and to the teaching; continue in them; for, doing this, you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

Honor widows who are widows indeed.

But she who lives in pleasure, though living, has died.

If any believing woman has widows, let her relieve them, and let not the assembly be burdened, in order that it may relieve those who are really widows.

Let elders who preside well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in word and teaching.

Those who sin reprove before all, that the rest also may have fear.

And let those having believing masters not despise them, because they are brethren; but let them serve them the more, because they are faithful and beloved, who are partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.

I charge you before God who preserves alive all things, and Christ Jesus Who before Pontius Pilate testified a good confession,

Who only hath immortality, inhabiting light unapproachable, Whom no man ever saw or is able to see; to Whom be honor and dominion eternal. Amen.

Charge those who are rich in this present age, not to be high-minded, nor to have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, Who giveth us richly all things for enjoyment;
