Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:1 - From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:2 - to Timothy, my genuine child in the faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:3 - As I urged you when I was leaving for Macedonia, stay on in Ephesus to instruct certain people not to spread false teachings,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:4 - nor to occupy themselves with myths and interminable genealogies. Such things promote useless speculations rather than God's redemptive plan that operates by faith.

Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:6 - Some have strayed from these and turned away to empty discussion.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:7 - They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not understand what they are saying or the things they insist on so confidently.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:8 - But we know that the law is good if someone uses it legitimately,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:9 - realizing that law is not intended for a righteous person, but for lawless and rebellious people, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:10 - sexually immoral people, practicing homosexuals, kidnappers, liars, perjurers - in fact, for any who live contrary to sound teaching.

Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:12 - I am grateful to the one who has strengthened me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he considered me faithful in putting me into ministry,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:13 - even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor, and an arrogant man. But I was treated with mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief,
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:14 - and our Lord's grace was abundant, bringing faith and love in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:15 - This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance: "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners" - and I am the worst of them!
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:16 - But here is why I was treated with mercy: so that in me as the worst, Christ Jesus could demonstrate his utmost patience, as an example for those who are going to believe in him for eternal life.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:17 - Now to the eternal king, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever! Amen.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:18 - I put this charge before you, Timothy my child, in keeping with the prophecies once spoken about you, in order that with such encouragement you may fight the good fight.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:19 - To do this you must hold firmly to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck in regard to the faith.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:20 - Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme.
