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 exhorted you when going to Macedonia, [fn]remain on at Ephesus so that you may command certain ones not to teach a different doctrine,

Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:4 - nor to [fn]pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to mere speculation rather than furthering the stewardship from God which is by faith.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:5 - But the goal of our command is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and an unhypocritical faith.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:6 - For some, straying from these things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion,

Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:8 -

But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully,

Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:9 - knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and godless, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers,

I am grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He regarded me faithful, putting me into service,

Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:13 - even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief;
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:14 - and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:15 - It is a trustworthy saying and deserving full acceptance: that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:16 - Yet for this reason I was shown mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Christ Jesus might demonstrate all His patience as an example for those [fn]who are going to believe upon Him for eternal life.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:17 - Now to the King of the [fn]ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory [fn]forever and ever. Amen.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:18 -

This command I entrust to you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may fight the good fight,

Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:19 - keeping faith and a good conscience, which some, having rejected, suffered shipwreck in regard to [fn]their faith.
Unchecked Copy Box1Ti 1:20 - [fn]Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan, so that they will be taught not to blaspheme.
