It is a true saying, in which all may put their faith, that Christ Jesus came into the world to give salvation to sinners, of whom I am the chief:

But for this reason I was given mercy, so that in me, the chief of sinners, Jesus Christ might make clear all his mercy, as an example to those who in the future would have faith in him to eternal life.

This order I give to you, Timothy my son, in harmony with the words of the prophets about you, so that by them you may be strong, fighting the good fight,

Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have given over to Satan, so that they may be taught not to blaspheme.

My desire is, first of all, that you will make requests and prayers and give praise for all men;

Who gave himself as an offering for all; witness of which was to be given at the right time;

to give which testimony I have been appointed a preacher and an apostle; (I speak the truth, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faithfulness and in truth.

It is my desire, then, that in every place men may give themselves to prayer, lifting up holy hands, without wrath or argument.

Now an overseer must be blameless and beyond reproach, the husband of one wife, self-controlled, sensible, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,

Not given to wine, not ready to wound, but considerate, averse to contention, not fond of money,

(If a man does not know how to rule his own household, how shall he have the Church of God given into his care?)

Deacons, in the same way, are to be serious in their behaviour, not false in word, not given to taking much wine or greatly desiring the wealth of this world;

Wives, in the same way, - dignified, not given to intrigue, sober, faithful in all things.

And without argument, great is the secret of religion: He who was seen in the flesh, who was given God's approval in the spirit, was seen by the angels, of whom the good news was given among the nations, in whom the world had faith, who was taken up in glory.

Now the Spirit distinctly declares that in later times some will turn away from the faith, because they continuously give their attention to deceiving spirits and the things that demons teach

who forbid people to marry and insist on abstinence from certain kinds of food that God created for men who believe and understand the truth to enjoy and give thanks for.

But have nothing to do with unclean and foolish stories. Give yourself training in religion:

Continue to give these orders and to teach these truths.

don't give occasion to any to despise your youth: but be a pattern to believers in your discourse, in your behaviour, by your charity, faith and chastity.

Until I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.

Stop neglecting the gift you received, which was given you through prophetic utterance when the elders laid their hands upon you.

Have a care for these things; give yourself to them with all your heart, so that all may see how you go forward.

Give attention to yourself and your teaching. Go on in these things; for in doing so you will get salvation for yourself and for those who give hearing to you.

Give honour to widows who are truly widows.

But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to be devoted to their own house, and to give back recompense to their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

while a widow who gives herself up to luxury is really dead though still alive.

Continue to give these directions so that the people may be without reproach.

And if witness is given of her good works; if she has had the care of children, if she has been kind to travellers, washing the feet of the saints, helping those who are in trouble, giving herself to good works.

But the younger widows reject: for when they give themselves to wantonness contrary to Christ, they will marry;

So I would have the younger women marry, have children, and keep house, so as not to give our opponents any occasion for slander.

As it is, some widows have already turned after Satan. ??16 Any believer, man or woman, who has widowed relatives, must give them relief; the church is not to be burdened with them; she has to relieve the widows who really need relief.

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.

Do not take as true any statement made against one in authority, but only if two or three give witness to it.

I give you orders before God and Christ Jesus and the angels of God's selection, to keep these orders without giving thought to one side more than another.

[Give up being a total abstainer; take a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent attacks of illness.]

Let all who are servants under the yoke give all honour to their masters, so that no evil may be said against the name of God and his teaching.

And let those whose masters are of the faith have respect for them because they are brothers, working for them the more readily, because those who take part in the good work are of the faith and are dear. Give orders and teaching about these things.

If any man gives different teaching, not in agreement with the true words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the teaching which is in agreement with true religion,

he is puffed up with conceit and knows nothing, but is doting about disputations and a strife of words. These give rise to envy, quarrels, railings, evil suspicions,

I give you orders before God, the giver of life, and Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate gave witness to the faith,

Give orders to those who have money and goods in this life, not to be lifted up in their minds, or to put their hope in the uncertain chances of wealth, but in God who gives us in full measure all things for our use;

And to do good, having wealth in good works, being quick to give, taking part with one another;

O Timothy, take good care of that which is given to you, turning away from the wrong and foolish talk and arguments of that knowledge which is falsely so named;

To Timothy, my dear Child, from Paul who, by the will of God, is an Apostle of Christ Jesus, charged to proclaim the Life that comes from union with Christ Jesus. May God, the Father, and Christ Jesus, our Lord, bless you, and be merciful to you, and give you peace.

to my dear child Timothy; God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord bless you and be merciful to you and give you peace.

I give praise to God, whose servant I have been, with a heart free from sin, from the time of my fathers, because in my prayers at all times the thought of you is with me, night and day

For this reason I say to you, Let that grace of God which is in you, given to you by my hands, have living power.

For the Spirit that God has given us does not impart timidity but power and love and self-control.

Who saved us and who called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal.

And for which I undergo these things: but I have no feeling of shame. For I have knowledge of him in whom I have faith, and I am certain that he is able to keep that which I have given into his care till that day.

That good thing which was given to you keep safe, through the Holy Spirit which is in us.

May the Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus because he frequently gave me help, and had no feeling of shame because I was in chains;

may the Lord give to him to find kindness from the Lord in that day; and how many things in Ephesus he did minister thou dost very well know.

And the things which I have said to you before a number of witnesses, give to those of the faith, so that they may be teachers of others.

Consider what I say, for may the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

Keep in mind Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, who came back from the dead, as my good news gives witness:

Give diligence, thyself, approved, to present unto God, - a workman not to be put to shame, skillfully handling the word of truth.

Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God [which He has laid] stands [sure and unshaken despite attacks], bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord stand apart from wickedness and withdraw from wrongdoing.”

But avoid foolish and unlearned questions, knowing that they give birth to strifes.

Gently guiding those who go against the teaching; if by chance God may give them a change of heart and true knowledge,

For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, uplifted in pride, given to bitter words, going against the authority of their fathers, never giving praise, having no religion,

without natural affection, accepting no truce, given to intrigue, without self-control, uncivilized, unfriendly to good men,

But see that you keep to the teaching you have been given and the things of which you are certain, conscious of who has been your teacher;

and that from childhood you have known the sacred Scriptures which can give you wisdom that leads to salvation through the faith that leans on Christ Jesus.

All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will, both publicly and privately—behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage];

I give you orders, before God and Christ Jesus, who will be the judge of the living and the dead, and by his revelation and his kingdom;

Be preaching the word at all times, in every place; make protests, say sharp words, give comfort, with long waiting and teaching;

and shall turn their ears from the truth, and shall be given unto fables:

But be self-controlled in all things, do without comfort, go on preaching the good news, completing the work which has been given you to do.

From now on, the crown of righteousness is made ready for me, which the Lord, the upright judge, Will give to me at that day: and not only to me, but to all those who have had love for his revelation.

Give diligence to come unto me speedily,

Alexander the copper-worker did me much wrong: the Lord will give him the reward of his works:

But the Lord was by my side and gave me strength; so that through me the news might be given out in full measure, and all the Gentiles might give ear: and I was taken out of the mouth of the lion.

The Lord will keep me safe from every evil work and will give me salvation in his kingdom in heaven: to whom be glory for ever and ever. So be it.

Give my greetings to Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.

Give diligence to come, before winter. There salute thee - Eubulus, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and allthe brethren.

and gives the expectation of eternal life, which the God of veracity promised so many ages ago;

to Titus, my true child in our common faith; God our Father and Christ Jesus our Savior bless you and give you peace.

Men having a good record, husbands of one wife, whose children are of the faith, children of whom it may not be said that they are given to loose living or are uncontrolled.

For it is needful that the overseer be - unaccusable, as God's steward, not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, not ready to wound, not seeking gain by base means,

but given to hospitality, as lover of good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled;

Keeping to the true word of the teaching, so that he may be able to give comfort by right teaching and overcome the arguments of the doubters.

by ceasing to give attention to Jewish myths and to the commands of men who turn their backs on the truth.

That old women are to be self-respecting in behaviour, not saying evil of others, not given to taking much wine, teachers of that which is good,

they must give good counsel, so that the young women may be trained to love their husbands and children,

To the young men give orders to be wise and serious-minded:

Let the instruction that you give be sound and above reproach, so that our opponents may be ashamed because they find no evil things to say about us.

Continue urging slaves to practice perfect submission to their masters and to give them perfect satisfaction,

training us to give up godless ways and worldly cravings and live serious, upright, and godly lives in this world,

who did give himself for us, that he might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works;

On all these points give teaching and help, and make clear what is right with all authority. Let all men give you honour.

To say no evil of any man, not to be fighters, to give way to others, to be gentle in behaviour to all men.

So that, having been given righteousness through grace, we might have a part in the heritage, the hope of eternal life.

This is a true saying; and it is my desire that you may give certain witness about these things, so that those who have had faith in God may give attention to good works. These things are good and of profit to men;

A man that is given to heresy, after the first and the second admonition; avoid,

As soon as I shall send Artemus unto thee, or Tychicus, give diligence to come to me unto Nicopolis; for, there, have I determined to winter.

Give a hearty send-off to Zenas the lawyer, and Apollos, so that they may want for nothing.

All who are with me send you their love. Give our love to our friends in the faith. Grace be with you all.

God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.

I give praise to God at all times and make prayer for you,
