1 Timothy Chapter 1 / KJV

Authorized Version
1 Timothy, Chapter 1

   1: Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;
   2: Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
   3: 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,
   4: Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
   5: Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
   6: From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
   7: Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
   8: But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
   9: 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,
   10: 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;
   11: According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
   12: And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
   13: Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
   14: And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
   15: 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.
   16: Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
   17: Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
   18: 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;
   19: Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
   20: Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
