1|Tim.|1:1|-||1|Paul, an |a|apostle of Christ Jesus |b|according to the |2c|command of |3d|God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our |4e|hope, 1|Tim.|1:2|-|To |1a|Timothy, genuine |b|child in |2|faith: Grace, |c|mercy, peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
1|Tim.|1:3|-|Even as I exhorted you, when I was |1|going into |a|Macedonia, to remain in |b|Ephesus in order that you might charge |2|certain ones not to teach |3c|different things 1|Tim.|1:4|-|Nor to give heed to |1a|myths and unending |2b|genealogies, which produce |c|questionings rather than God’s |3d|economy, which is in |4e|faith. 1|Tim.|1:5|-|But the end of the |1|charge is |2a|love out of a |3b|pure heart and outof a good |c|conscience and outof unfeigned |d|faith; 1|Tim.|1:6|-|From which things some, having |1a|misaimed, have turned aside to |2b|vain talking, 1|Tim.|1:7|-|Desiring to be |1a|teachers of the law, though they understand neither the things that they say, nor concerning what they |2b|confidently affirm. 1|Tim.|1:8|-|But we know that the |a|law is good, if one uses it lawfully 1|Tim.|1:9|-|And knows this, that the |a|law is not enacted for a righteous man but for the lawless and |b|unruly, for the |c|ungodly and sinners, for the |d|unholy and |e|profane, for those who |1|strike their fathers and those who |1|strike their mothers, for murderers, 1|Tim.|1:10|-|For fornicators, |a|homosexuals, kidnappers, liars, perjurers, and whatever other thing that is opposed to the |1b|healthy teaching, 1|Tim.|1:11|-||a|According to the |1b|gospel of the glory of the |c|blessed God, with which I was |d|entrusted. 1|Tim.|1:12|-|I give thanks to Him who |1a|empowers me, Christ Jesus our Lord, that He has counted me |b|faithful, |c|appointing me to the |d|ministry, 1|Tim.|1:13|-|Who formerly was a |1|blasphemer and a |a|persecutor and an |2|insulting person; but I was shown |3b|mercy because, being |4c|ignorant, I acted in |4d|unbelief. 1|Tim.|1:14|-|And the |1a|grace of our Lord |b|superabounded with |2c|faith and love in Christ Jesus. 1|Tim.|1:15|-||a|Faithful is the word and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus |1|came into the world to save |b|sinners, of whom I am foremost. 1|Tim.|1:16|-|But because of this I was shown |a|mercy, that in me, the foremost, Jesus Christ might display all His long-suffering for a |1|pattern to those who are to |b|believe on Him unto |2c|eternal life. 1|Tim.|1:17|-||1|Now to the |a|King of the ages, |b|incorruptible, |c|invisible, the |d|only God, be |2e|honor and |f|glory forever and ever. Amen.
1|Tim.|1:18|-|This |1a|charge I commit to you, my|b|child Timothy, according to the |2c|prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you might |3d|war the good warfare, 1|Tim.|1:19|-||a|Holding |1b|faith and a good |c|conscience, concerning which some, thrusting these away, have become |2|shipwrecked regarding the |3d|faith; 1|Tim.|1:20|-|Of whom are |1a|Hymenaeus and |2b|Alexander, whom I have |c|delivered to Satan that they may be |3|disciplined not to |d|blaspheme.
