earn their own living.

As I
besought thee to
abide still at Ephesus, when I went into
Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that
they teach no other doctrine,
As I urged you on my departure to
Macedonia, you should stay on at Ephesus to
instruct certain men not to teach false doctrines
Neither give
heed to fables and endless
genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly
edifying which is in faith: so do.

devote themselves to myths and endless
genealogies, which promote speculation rather than
the stewardship of God’s work, which is by faith.
Now
the end of
the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith
unfeigned:

sincere faith.
Some have
strayed from
these ways and turned aside to empty talk.
Desiring to be teachers of
the law; understanding neither what
they say, nor
whereof they affirm.
They want to be teachers of
the law, but
they do not understand what
they are saying or that which
they so
confidently assert.
But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it legitimately.
Knowing 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,
We
realize that law is not
enacted for
the righteous, but for
the lawless and
rebellious, for
the ungodly and sinful, for
the unholy and
profane, for killers of father or mother, for murderers,
For whoremongers, for
them that
defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for
perjured persons, and if
there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
for
the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave traders and liars and perjurers, and for
anyone else who is
averse to sound teaching
According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
that agrees with the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.

thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into
the ministry;

thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, that He considered me faithful and appointed me to service.

And the grace of our Lord overflowed to me, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all
acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into
the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
This is a
trustworthy saying, worthy of full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into
the world to save sinners, of whom I am
the worst.
But for this very reason I was shown mercy, so that in me,
the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display His perfect
patience as an example to those who would believe in Him for eternal life.
Now unto
the King eternal,
immortal, invisible,
the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever.

This charge I commit unto
thee, son
Timothy, according to
the prophecies which went before on
thee, that thou by
them mightest war a good warfare;
Timothy, my child, I
entrust you with this command in keeping with
the previous
prophecies about you, so that by
them you may fight
the good fight,

shipwreck:

Satan, that
they may learn not to
blaspheme.

them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to
Satan to be taught not to
blaspheme.
I
exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of
thanks, be made for all men;
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
This is good and pleasing in
the sight of God our
Savior,
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

everyone to be saved and to come to
the knowledge of
the truth.
For
there is one God, and one
mediator between God and men,
the man Christ Jesus;

there is one
mediator between God and men,
the man Christ Jesus,

ransom for all—
the testimony that was given at just
the right time.
Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak
the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of
the Gentiles in faith and
verity.

the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or
dissension.
Likewise, I want
the women to
adorn themselves with respectable
apparel, with
modesty, and with self-control, not with
braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to
usurp authority over
the man, but to be in silence.
I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; she is to remain quiet.
For Adam was first formed,
then Eve.

For if someone does not know how to
manage his own household, how can he care for
the church of God?
He must not be a recent convert, or he may become
conceited and fall under
the same
condemnation as
the devil.
Moreover he must have a good report of
them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and
the snare of
the devil.
Furthermore, he must have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into
the snare of
the devil.
Likewise must
the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not
greedy of
filthy lucre;

the mystery of
the faith in a pure conscience.

the mystery of
the faith with a clear conscience.
And let
these also first be proved;
then let
them use
the office of a
deacon, being found
blameless.
Additionally, they must first be tested. Then, if they are above reproach, let them serve as deacons.
Even so must
their wives be grave, not slanderers,
sober, faithful in all things.
In
the same way,
the women must be
dignified, not slanderers, but temperate and faithful in all things.
Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
A
deacon must be
the husband of but one wife, a good
manager of his children and of his own household.

they that have used
the office of a
deacon well purchase to
themselves a good degree, and great boldness in
the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
For those who have served well as deacons acquire for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:
Although I hope to come to you soon, I am writing you these things

the church of
the living God,
the pillar and ground of
the truth.

And without controversy great is
the mystery of
godliness: God was manifest in
the flesh, justified in
the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto
the Gentiles, believed on in
the world, received up into glory.
By common confession,
the mystery of
godliness is great: He appeared in
the flesh, was
vindicated by
the Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed among
the nations, was believed in throughout
the world, was taken up in glory.
Now
the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in
the latter times some shall depart from
the faith, giving
heed to
seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Now
the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will
abandon the faith to follow
deceitful spirits and
the teachings of demons,
Speaking lies in
hypocrisy; having
their conscience
seared with a hot iron;
influenced by
the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences are
seared with a hot iron.

abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with

For bodily exercise profiteth little: but
godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of
the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
For physical exercise is of limited value, but
godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for
the present life and for
the one to come.
For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

strive, because we have set our hope on
the living God, who is
the Savior of
everyone, and especially of those who believe.
These things command and teach.
Command and teach these things.

despise thy youth; but be thou an example of
the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

Till I come, give attendance to reading, to
exhortation, to doctrine.
Neglect not
the gift that is in
thee, which was given
thee by prophecy, with
the laying on of
the hands of
the presbytery.
Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given you through the prophecy spoken over you at the laying on of the hands of the elders.
Meditate upon
these things; give
thyself wholly to
them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
Be
diligent in
these matters and absorbed in
them, so that your progress will be evident to all.
Take
heed unto
thyself, and unto
the doctrine; continue in
them: for in doing this thou shalt both save
thyself, and
them that hear
thee.
Pay close attention to your life and to your teaching.
Persevere in
these things, for by so doing you will save both
yourself and those who hear you.
Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and
the younger men as brethren;
Do not
rebuke an older man, but appeal to him as to a father. Treat younger men as brothers,
The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity.
Honour widows that are widows indeed.
Honor the widows who are truly widows.
But if any widow have children or nephews, let
them learn first to
shew piety at home, and to requite
their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.
But if a widow has children or grandchildren,
they must first learn to show
godliness to
their own family and repay
their parents, for this is pleasing in
the sight of God.
Now she that is a widow indeed, and
desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
The widow who is truly in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day in her petitions and prayers.
And
these things give in charge, that
they may be
blameless.
Give these instructions to the believers, so that they will be above reproach.
But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied
the faith, and is worse than an
infidel.
If
anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied
the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
Let not a widow be taken into
the number under
threescore years old, having been
the wife of one man,
A widow should be
enrolled if she is at least sixty years old,
the wife of one man,
Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have
lodged strangers, if she have washed
the saints’ feet, if she have relieved
the afflicted, if she have
diligently followed every good work.
and well known for good deeds such as bringing up children,
entertaining strangers, washing
the feet of
the saints, imparting relief to
the afflicted, and
devoting herself to every good work.
But
the younger widows refuse: for when
they have begun to wax
wanton against Christ,
they will marry;
But refuse to
enroll younger widows. For when
their passions draw
them away from Christ,
they will want to marry,
Having
damnation, because
they have cast off
their first faith.
and thus will
incur judgment because
they are setting aside
their first faith.
And
withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and
busybodies, speaking things which
they ought not.
At
the same time
they will also learn to be idle, going from house to house and being not only idle, but also gossips and
busybodies,
discussing things
they should not mention.
I will
therefore that
the younger women marry, bear children, guide
the house, give none occasion to
the adversary to speak
reproachfully.
If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let
them relieve them, and let not
the church be charged; that it may
relieve them that are widows indeed.
If any believing woman has dependent widows, she must assist them and not allow the church to be burdened, so that it can help the widows who are truly in need.
Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
Elders who lead effectively are worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.
For
the scripture saith, Thou shalt not
muzzle the ox that treadeth out
the corn. And,
The labourer is worthy of his reward.
For
the Scripture says, “Do not
muzzle an ox while it is
treading out
the grain,” and, “
The worker is worthy of his wages.”
Against an elder receive not an
accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
Do not
entertain an
accusation against an elder, except on
the testimony of two or three witnesses.
Them that sin
rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
But those who
persist in sin should be
rebuked in front of
everyone, so that
the others will stand in fear of sin.
I charge
thee before God, and
the Lord Jesus Christ, and
the elect angels, that thou observe
these things without
preferring one before another, doing nothing by
partiality.
I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus and
the elect angels to maintain
these principles without
bias, and to do nothing out of
partiality.
Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be
partaker of other men’s sins: keep
thyself pure.
Do not be too quick in
the laying on of hands and
thereby share in
the sins of others. Keep
yourself pure.
Some men’s sins are open
beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men
they follow after.
The sins of some men are obvious, going
ahead of
them to judgment; but
the sins of others do not surface until later.
Likewise also
the good works of some are manifest
beforehand; and
they that are otherwise cannot be
hid.
In the same way, good deeds are obvious, and even the ones that are inconspicuous cannot remain hidden.
Let as many servants as are under
the yoke count
their own masters worthy of all honour, that
the name of God and his doctrine be not
blasphemed.
All who are under the yoke of slavery should regard their masters as fully worthy of honor, so that God’s name and our teaching will not be discredited.
And
they that have believing masters, let
them not
despise them, because
they are brethren; but rather do
them service, because
they are faithful and beloved, partakers of
the benefit.
These things teach and
exhort.
Those who have believing masters should not show disrespect because
they are brothers, but should serve
them all
the more, since those receiving
their good service are beloved believers. Teach and
encourage these principles.
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to
wholesome words, even
the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to
the doctrine which is according to
godliness;
If
anyone teaches another doctrine and disagrees with
the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and with godly teaching,
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of
the truth, supposing that gain is
godliness: from such withdraw
thyself.
and constant friction between men of
depraved mind who are devoid of
the truth.
These men regard
godliness as a means of gain.
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
For we brought nothing into the world, so we cannot carry anything out of it.
But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.
Those who want to be rich, however, fall into
temptation and become ensnared by many
foolish and
harmful desires that
plunge them into ruin and destruction.
For
the love of money is
the root of all evil: which while some
coveted after,
they have
erred from
the faith, and pierced
themselves through with many sorrows.
For
the love of money is
the root of all kinds of evil. By
craving it, some have
wandered away from
the faith and pierced
themselves with many sorrows.
But you, O man of God,
flee from
these things and pursue righteousness,
godliness, faith, love,
perseverance, and gentleness.
Fight
the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life,
whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made the good confession before many witnesses.
I give
thee charge in
the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius
Pilate witnessed a good confession;
I charge you in
the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who made
the good confession in His testimony before Pontius
Pilate:
That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Keep this commandment without
stain or reproach until
the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ,
