1 Paul|strong="G3972", an apostle|strong="G0652" of Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547" by|strong="G2596" the commandment|strong="G2003" of God|strong="G2316" our|strong="G2257" Saviour|strong="G4990", and|strong="G2532" Lord|strong="G2962" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547", which is our|strong="G2257" hope|strong="G1680";
2 Unto Timothy|strong="G5095", my own|strong="G1103" son|strong="G5043" in|strong="G1722" the faith|strong="G4102": Grace|strong="G5485", mercy|strong="G1656", and peace|strong="G1515", from|strong="G0575" God|strong="G2316" our|strong="G2257" Father|strong="G3962" and|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547" our|strong="G2257" Lord|strong="G2962".
3 As|strong="G2531" I besought|strong="G3870" thee|strong="G4571" to abide still|strong="G4357" at|strong="G1722" Ephesus|strong="G2181", when I went|strong="G4198" into|strong="G1519" Macedonia|strong="G3109", that|strong="G2443" thou mightest charge|strong="G3853" some|strong="G5100" that they teach|strong="G2085" no|strong="G3361" other doctrine|strong="G2085",
4 Neither|strong="G3366" give heed to|strong="G4337" fables|strong="G3454" and|strong="G2532" endless|strong="G0562" genealogies|strong="G1076", which|strong="G3748" minister|strong="G3930" questions|strong="G2214", rather|strong="G3123" than|strong="G2228" godly|strong="G2316" edifying|strong="G3620" which is|strong="G3588" in|strong="G1722" faith|strong="G4102": so do.
5 Now|strong="G1161" the end|strong="G5056" of the commandment|strong="G3852" is|strong="G2076" charity|strong="G0026" out of|strong="G1537" a pure|strong="G2513" heart|strong="G2588", and|strong="G2532" of a good|strong="G0018" conscience|strong="G4893", and|strong="G2532" of faith|strong="G4102" unfeigned|strong="G0505":
6 From which|strong="G3739" some|strong="G5100" having swerved|strong="G0795" have turned aside|strong="G1624" unto|strong="G1519" vain jangling|strong="G3150";
7 Desiring|strong="G2309" to be|strong="G1511" teachers of the law|strong="G3547"; understanding|strong="G3539" neither|strong="G3383" what|strong="G3739" they say|strong="G3004", nor|strong="G3383" whereof|strong="G4012" they affirm|strong="G1226".
8 But|strong="G1161" we know|strong="G1492" that|strong="G3754" the law|strong="G3551" is good|strong="G2570", if|strong="G1437" a man|strong="G5100" use|strong="G5530" it|strong="G0846" lawfully|strong="G3545";
9 Knowing|strong="G1492" this|strong="G5124", that|strong="G3754" the law|strong="G3551" is|strong="G2749" not|strong="G3756" made for|strong="G2749" a righteous man|strong="G1342", but|strong="G1161" for the lawless|strong="G0459" and|strong="G2532" disobedient|strong="G0506", for the ungodly|strong="G0765" and|strong="G2532" for sinners|strong="G0268", for unholy|strong="G0462" and|strong="G2532" profane|strong="G0952", for murderers of fathers|strong="G3964" and|strong="G2532" murderers of mothers|strong="G3389", for manslayers|strong="G0409",
10 For whoremongers|strong="G4205", for them that defile themselves with mankind|strong="G0733", for menstealers|strong="G0405", for liars|strong="G5583", for perjured persons|strong="G1965", and|strong="G2532" if|strong="G1487" there be|strong="G0480" any|strong="G5100" other thing|strong="G2087" that is contrary to|strong="G0480" sound|strong="G5198" doctrine|strong="G1319";
11 According to|strong="G2596" the glorious|strong="G1391" gospel|strong="G2098" of the blessed|strong="G3107" God|strong="G2316", which|strong="G3739" was committed to|strong="G4100" my|strong="G1473" trust|strong="G4100".
12 And|strong="G2532" I|strong="G2192" thank|strong="G5485" Christ|strong="G5547" Jesus|strong="G2424" our|strong="G2257" Lord|strong="G2962", who hath enabled|strong="G1743" me|strong="G3165", for that|strong="G3754" he counted|strong="G2233" me|strong="G3165" faithful|strong="G4103", putting me|strong="G5087" into|strong="G1519" the ministry|strong="G1248";
13 Who was|strong="G5607" before|strong="G4386" a blasphemer|strong="G0989", and|strong="G2532" a persecutor|strong="G1376", and|strong="G2532" injurious|strong="G5197": but|strong="G0235" I obtained mercy|strong="G1653", because|strong="G3754" I did|strong="G4160" it ignorantly|strong="G0050" in|strong="G1722" unbelief|strong="G0570".
14 And|strong="G1161" the grace|strong="G5485" of our|strong="G2257" Lord|strong="G2962" was exceeding abundant|strong="G5250" with|strong="G3326" faith|strong="G4102" and|strong="G2532" love|strong="G0026" which is|strong="G3588" in|strong="G1722" Christ|strong="G5547" Jesus|strong="G2424".
15 This|strong="G3588" is a faithful|strong="G4103" saying|strong="G3056", and|strong="G2532" worthy|strong="G0514" of all|strong="G3956" acceptation|strong="G0594", that|strong="G3754" Christ|strong="G5547" Jesus|strong="G2424" came|strong="G2064" into|strong="G1519" the world|strong="G2889" to save|strong="G4982" sinners|strong="G0268"; of whom|strong="G3739" I|strong="G1473" am|strong="G1510" chief|strong="G4413".
16 Howbeit|strong="G0235" for|strong="G1223" this cause|strong="G5124" I obtained mercy|strong="G1653", that|strong="G2443" in|strong="G1722" me|strong="G1698" first|strong="G4413" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547" might shew forth|strong="G1731" all|strong="G3956" longsuffering|strong="G3115", for|strong="G4314" a pattern|strong="G5296" to them which should hereafter|strong="G3195" believe|strong="G4100" on|strong="G1909" him|strong="G0846" to|strong="G1519" life|strong="G2222" everlasting|strong="G0166".
17 Now|strong="G1161" unto the King|strong="G0935" eternal|strong="G0165", immortal|strong="G0862", invisible|strong="G0517", the only|strong="G3441" wise|strong="G4680" God|strong="G2316", be honour|strong="G5092" and|strong="G2532" glory|strong="G1391" for|strong="G1519" ever|strong="G0165" and ever|strong="G0165". Amen|strong="G0281".
18 This|strong="G3778" charge|strong="G3852" I commit|strong="G3908" unto thee|strong="G4671", son|strong="G5043" Timothy|strong="G5095", according to|strong="G2596" the prophecies|strong="G4394" which went before|strong="G4254" on|strong="G1909" thee|strong="G4571", that|strong="G2443" thou|strong="G4754" by|strong="G1722" them|strong="G0846" mightest war|strong="G4754" a good|strong="G2570" warfare|strong="G4752";
19 Holding|strong="G2192" faith|strong="G4102", and|strong="G2532" a good|strong="G0018" conscience|strong="G4893"; which|strong="G3739" some|strong="G5100" having put away|strong="G0683" concerning|strong="G4012" faith|strong="G4102" have made shipwreck|strong="G3489":
20 Of whom|strong="G3739" is|strong="G2076" Hymenaeus|strong="G5211" and|strong="G2532" Alexander|strong="G0223"; whom|strong="G3739" I have delivered|strong="G3860" unto Satan|strong="G4567", that|strong="G2443" they may learn|strong="G3811" not|strong="G3361" to blaspheme|strong="G0987".
