54:001:004 Neither give heed to fables and endless
genealogies, which
minister
questions, rather than godly edifying which is in
faith:
so do.
54:001:005 Now the end of the commandment is charity
out of a pure heart,
and
of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
54:001:006 From which some having swerved have turned
aside unto vain
jangling;
54:001:007 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding
neither what
they
say, nor whereof they affirm.
54:001:008 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
54:001:009 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,
54:001:010 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;
54:001:011 According to the glorious gospel of the
blessed God, which was
committed
to my trust.
54:001:012 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who
hath enabled me, for
that
he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
54:001:013 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor,
and injurious:
but
I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
54:001:014 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding
abundant with faith
and
love which is in Christ Jesus.
54:001:015 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.
54:001:016 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.
54:001:017 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible,
the only wise
God,
be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
54:001:018 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;
54:001:019 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which
some having put
away
concerning faith have made shipwreck:
54:001:020 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom
I have delivered unto
Satan,
that they may learn not to blaspheme.
54:002:001 I exhort therefore, that, first of all,
supplications,
prayers,
intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all
men;
