        1 Timothy 1
      
    </p>

<p>

      
         1.  Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ 
      
      
        <b>by the commandment of </b>
      
      
        <b>God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ</b>
      
      
        , which is our hope;
      
    <br/>

      
         2.  Unto Timothy, 
      
      
        <b>my own son in the faith</b>
      
      
        : Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        3.  As I besought thee to
      
      
        <b> abide still at Ephesus, </b>
      
      
        when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other 
        doctrine,
      
    <br/>

      
         4.  Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather 
        than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
      
    <br/>

      
         5.  Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good 
        conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
      
    <br/>

      
         6.  From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
      
    <br/>

      
         7.  Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof 
        they affirm.
      
    <br/>

      
         8.  But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>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,</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 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;</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         11.  According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
      
    <br/>

      
         12.  And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me 
        faithful, putting me into the ministry;
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>13.  Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained 
        mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 14.  And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in 
        Christ Jesus.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         15.  This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that 
      
      
        <b>Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         16.  Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that 
      
      
        <b>in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them 
        which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         17.  Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and 
        glory for ever and ever. Amen.
      
    <br/>

      
         18.  This charge I commit unto thee,
      
      
        <b> son Timothy</b>
      
      
        , 
      
      
        <b>according to the prophecies which went before on thee</b>
      
      
        , that thou by them mightest 
      
      
        <b>war a good warfare;</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         19.  Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith 
        have made shipwreck:
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>20.  Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they 
        may learn not to blaspheme.</b>
      
      
        <b> </b>
