1 Timothy 1 — Scripture text (King James Version)
3972, an apostle652 of 2424 5547 by2596 the commandment2003 of God2316 our2257 Saviour4990, and2532 Lord2962 2424 5547, which3588 is our2257 hope1680; Unto 5095, my own1103 son5043 in1722 the 4102: 5485, 1656, and peace1515, from575 God2316 our2257 Father3962 and2532 2424 5547 our2257 Lord2962. As2531 I besought3870 thee4571 to abide still4357 at1722 2181, when I went4198 into1519 3109, that2443 thou mightest charge3853 some5100 that they teach2085 no3361 other doctrine2085, Neither3366 give heed4337 to fables3454 and2532 endless562 genealogies1076, which3748 minister3930 questions2214, rather3123 than2228 godly2316 edifying3620 which3588 is in1722 4102: so do. Now1161 the end5056 of the commandment3852 is2076 charity26 out of1537 a pure2513 heart2588, and2532 of a good18 conscience4893, and2532 of 4102 unfeigned505: From which3739 some5100 having swerved795 have turned aside1624 unto1519 vain jangling3150; having: or, not aiming at Desiring2309 to be1511 teachers of 3547;3361 understanding3539 neither3383 what3739 they say3004, nor3383 whereof4012 5101 they affirm1226. But1161 we know1492 that3754 3551 is good2570, if1437 a man5100 use5530 it846 lawfully3545; Knowing1492 this5124, that3754 3551 is2749 not3756 made2749 for a righteous man1342, but1161 for the lawless459 and2532 disobedient506, for the ungodly765 and2532 for sinners268, for unholy462 and2532 profane952, for murderers of fathers3964 and2532 murderers of mothers3389, for manslayers409, For whoremongers4205, for them that defile themselves with mankind733, for menstealers405, for liars5583, for perjured persons1965, and2532 if there be any1536 other thing2087 that is contrary480 to sound5198 doctrine1319; According2596 to the glorious1391 2098 of the blessed3107 God2316, which3739 was committed to4100 my1473 trust4100. And2532 I thank2192 5485 5547 2424 our2257 Lord2962, who3588 hath enabled1743 me3165, for3754 that he counted2233 me3165 faithful4103, putting me5087 into1519 the ministry1248; Who3588 was5607 before4386 a blasphemer989, and2532 a persecutor1376, and2532 injurious5197: but235 I obtained 1653, because3754 I did4160 it ignorantly50 in1722 unbelief570. And1161 the 5485 of our2257 Lord2962 was exceeding abundant5250 with3326 4102 and2532 love26 which3588 is in1722 5547 2424. This is a faithful4103 saying3056, and2532 worthy514 of all3956 acceptation594, that3754 5547 2424 came2064 into1519 the world2889 to save4982 sinners268; of whom3739 I1473 am1510 chief4413. Howbeit235 for this5124 cause1223 I obtained 1653, that2443 in1722 me1698 first4413 2424 5547 might shew forth1731 all3956 longsuffering3115, for4314 a pattern5296 to them which should hereafter3195 believe4100 1909 him846 to1519 life2222 everlasting166. Now1161 unto the King935 eternal165, immortal862, invisible517, the only3441 wise4680 God2316, be honour5092 and2532 1391 for1519 ever165 and ever165. Amen281. This5026 charge3852 I commit3908 unto thee4671, son5043 5095, according to2596 the prophecies4394 which went before4254 1909 thee4571, that2443 thou4754 by1722 them846 mightest war4754 a good2570 warfare4752; Holding2192 4102, and2532 a good18 conscience4893; which3739 some5100 having away683 concerning4012 4102 have made shipwreck3489: Of whom3739 is2076 Hymenaeus5211 and2532 Alexander223; whom3739 I have delivered3860 unto 4567, that2443 they may learn3811 not3361 to blaspheme987.
