English Bible
1 Timothy 1
Big screen- 1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;
- 2Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
- 3As I besought you to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that you might charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
- 4Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
- 5Now the end of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith sincere:
- 6From which some having miss the mark have turned aside unto vain arguments;
- 7Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
- 8But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
- 9Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
- 10For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers , for liars, for promise breakers, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
- 11According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
- 12And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
- 13Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and prone to cause hurt: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
- 14And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
- 15This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
- 16Nevertheless for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
- 17Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
- 18This charge I commit unto you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on you, that you by them might war a good warfare;
- 19Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
- 20Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
