New Testament 1 Timothy 1 Timothy 1
King
James Version
1 Paul,
an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord
Jesus Christ, which is our hope; 2 Unto Timothy, my own
son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus
Christ our Lord. 3 As I besought thee to
abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge
some that they teach no other doctrine, 4 Neither give heed to
fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly
edifying which is in faith: so do. 5 Now the end of the
commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of
faith unfeigned: 6 From which some having
swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; 7 Desiring to be teachers
of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. 8 But we know that the
law is good, if a man use it lawfully; 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, 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; 11 According to the
glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust. 12 And I thank Christ
Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting
me into the ministry; 13 Who was before a
blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I
did it ignorantly in unbelief. 14 And the grace of our
Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 15 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. 16 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. 17 Now unto the King
eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever
and ever. Amen. 18 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; 19 Holding faith, and a
good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made
shipwreck: 20 Of whom is Hymenaeus
and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to
blaspheme. 1 Timothy 2
King
James Version
2 I
exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions,
and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all
that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all
godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and
acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men
to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God,
and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a
ransom for all, to be testified in due time. 7 Whereunto I am ordained
a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a
teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. 8 I will therefore that
men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 9 In like manner also,
that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and
sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10 But (which becometh
women professing godliness) with good works. 11 Let the woman learn in
silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a
woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first
formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not
deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15 Notwithstanding she
shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and
holiness with sobriety. 1 Timothy 3
King
James Version
3 This
is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good
work. 2 A bishop then must be
blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given
to hospitality, apt to teach; 3 Not given to wine, no
striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 4 One that ruleth well
his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5 (For if a man know not
how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 6 Not a novice, lest
being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover he must have a
good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the
snare of the devil. 8 Likewise must the
deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of
filthy lucre; 9 Holding the mystery of
the faith in a pure conscience. 10 And let these also
first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found
blameless. 11 Even so must their
wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. 12 Let the deacons be the
husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 13 For they that have used
the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great
boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 14 These things write I
unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: 15 But if I tarry long,
that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of
God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the
truth. 16 And without controversy
great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified
in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the
world, received up into glory. 1 Timothy 4
King
James Version
4 Now
the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart
from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in
hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry,
and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received
with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of
God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5 For it is sanctified by
the word of God and prayer. 6 If thou put the
brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of
Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine,
whereunto thou hast attained. 7 But refuse profane and
old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 8 For bodily exercise
profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise
of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 9 This is a faithful
saying and worthy of all acceptation. 10 For therefore we both
labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the
Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. 11 These things command
and teach. 12 Let no man despise thy
youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in
charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 13 Till I come, give
attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 14 Neglect not the gift
that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the
hands of the presbytery. 15 Meditate upon these
things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 16 Take heed unto thyself,
and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both
save thyself, and them that hear thee. 1 Timothy 5
King
James Version
5 Rebuke
not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren; 2 The elder women as
mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity. 3 Honour widows that are
widows indeed. 4 But if any widow have
children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to
requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God. 5 Now she that is a widow
indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and
prayers night and day. 6 But she that liveth in
pleasure is dead while she liveth. 7 And these things give
in charge, that they may be blameless. 8 But if any provide not
for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the
faith, and is worse than an infidel. 9 Let not a widow be
taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one
man. 10 Well reported of for
good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if
she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she
have diligently followed every good work. 11 But the younger widows
refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will
marry; 12 Having damnation,
because they have cast off their first faith. 13 And withal they learn
to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but
tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. 14 I will therefore that
the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion
to the adversary to speak reproachfully. 15 For some are already
turned aside after Satan. 16 If any man or woman
that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be
charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed. 17 Let the elders that
rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in
the word and doctrine. 18 For the scripture
saith, thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The
labourer is worthy of his reward. 19 Against an elder
receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. 20 Them that sin rebuke
before all, that others also may fear. 21 I charge thee before
God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these
things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality. 22 Lay hands suddenly on
no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure. 23 Drink no longer water,
but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities. 24 Some men's sins are
open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after. 25 Likewise also the good
works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be
hid. 1 Timothy 6
King
James Version
6 Let as
many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all
honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed. 2 And they that have
believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but
rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of
the benefit. These things teach and exhort. 3 If any man teach
otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord
Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 4 He is proud, knowing
nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh
envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 Perverse disputings of
men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is
godliness: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But godliness with
contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing
into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and
raiment let us be therewith content. 9 But they that will be
rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful
lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10 For the love of money
is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from
the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 11 But thou, O man of God,
flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love,
patience, meekness. 12 Fight the good fight of
faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast
professed a good profession before many witnesses. 13 I give thee charge in
the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who
before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; 14 That thou keep this
commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus
Christ: 15 Which in his times he
shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and
Lord of lords; 16 Who only hath
immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no
man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. 17 Charge them that are
rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain
riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 18 That they do good, that
they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19 Laying up in store for
themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold
on eternal life. 20 O Timothy, keep that
which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and
oppositions of science falsely so called: 21 Which some professing
have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. |
