( because our testimony among you was believed ) in that day .
1 : 11 Wherefore also we pray always for you , that our God would count you worthy of this calling , and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness , and the work of faith with power : 1 : 12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you , and ye in him , according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ .
2 : 1 Now we beseech you , brethren , by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ , and by our gathering together unto him , 2 : 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind , or be troubled , neither by spirit , nor by word , nor by letter as from us , as that the day of Christ is at hand .
2 : 3 Let no man deceive you by any means : for that day shall not come , except there come a falling away first , and that man of sin be revealed , the son of perdition ; 2 : 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God , or that is worshipped ; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God , shewing himself that he is God .
2 : 5 Remember ye not , that , when I was yet with you , I told you these things ? 2 : 6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time .
2 : 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work : only he who now letteth will let , until he be taken out of the way .
2 : 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed , whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth , and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming : 2 : 9 Even him , whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders , 2 : 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish ; because they received not the love of the truth , that they might be saved .
2 : 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion , that they should believe a lie : 2 : 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth , but had pleasure in unrighteousness .
2 : 13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you , brethren beloved of the Lord , because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth : 2 : 14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel , to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ .
2 : 15 Therefore , brethren , stand fast , and hold the traditions which ye have been taught , whether by word , or our epistle .
2 : 16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself , and God , even our Father , which hath loved us , and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace , 2 : 17 Comfort your hearts , and stablish you in every good word and work .
3 : 1 Finally , brethren , pray for us , that the word of the Lord may have free course , and be glorified , even as it is with you : 3 : 2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men : for all men have not faith .
3 : 3 But the Lord is faithful , who shall stablish you , and keep you from evil .
3 : 4 And we have confidence in the Lord touching you , that ye both do and will do the things which we command you .
3 : 5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God , and into the patient waiting for Christ .
3 : 6 Now we command you , brethren , in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ , that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly , and not after the tradition which he received of us .
3 : 7 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us : for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you ; 3 : 8 Neither did we eat any man ’ s bread for nought ; but wrought with labour and travail night and day , that we might not be chargeable to any of you : 3 : 9 Not because we have not power , but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us .
3 : 10 For even when we were with you , this we commanded you , that if any would not work , neither should he eat .
3 : 11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly , working not at all , but are busybodies .
3 : 12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ , that with quietness they work , and eat their own bread .
3 : 13 But ye , brethren , be not weary in well doing .
3 : 14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle , note that man , and have no company with him , that he may be ashamed .
3 : 15 Yet count him not as an enemy , but admonish him as a brother .
3 : 16 Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means . The Lord be with you all .
3 : 17 The salutation of Paul with mine own hand , which is the token in every epistle : so I write .
3 : 18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all . Amen .
### The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy
1 : 1 Paul , an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour , and Lord Jesus Christ , which is our hope ; 1 : 2 Unto Timothy , my own son in the faith : Grace , mercy , and peace , from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord .
1 : 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 , 1 : 4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies , which minister questions , rather than godly edifying which is in faith : so do .
1 : 5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart , and of a good conscience , and of faith unfeigned : 1 : 6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling ; 1 : 7 Desiring to be teachers of the law ; understanding neither what they say , nor whereof they affirm .
1 : 8 But we know that the law is good , if a man use it lawfully ; 1 : 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 , 1 : 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 ; 1 : 11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God , which was committed to my trust .
1 : 12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord , who hath enabled me , for that he counted me faithful , putting me into the ministry ; 1 : 13 Who was before a blasphemer , and a persecutor , and injurious : but I obtained mercy , because I did it ignorantly in unbelief .
1 : 14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus .
1 : 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 .
1 : 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 .
1 : 17 Now unto the King eternal , immortal , invisible , the only wise God , be honour and glory for ever and ever . Amen .
1 : 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 ; 1 : 19 Holding faith , and a good conscience ; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck : 1 : 20 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander ; whom I have delivered unto Satan , that they may learn not to blaspheme .
2 : 1 I exhort therefore , that , first of all , supplications , prayers , intercessions , and giving of thanks , be made for all men ; 2 : 2 For kings , and for all that are in authority ; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty .
2 : 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour ;
2 : 4 Who will have all men to be saved , and to come unto the knowledge of the truth .
2 : 5 For there is one God , and one mediator between God and men , the man Christ Jesus ; 2 : 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all , to be testified in due time .
2 : 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 .
2 : 8 I will therefore that men pray every where , lifting up holy hands , without wrath and doubting .
2 : 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 ; 2 : 10 But ( which becometh women professing godliness ) with good works .
2 : 11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection .
2 : 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach , nor to usurp authority over the man , but to be in silence .
2 : 13 For Adam was first formed , then Eve .
2 : 14 And Adam was not deceived , but the woman being deceived was in the transgression .
2 : 15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing , if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety .
3 : 1 This is a true saying , If a man desire the office of a bishop , he desireth a good work .
3 : 2 A bishop then must be blameless , the husband of one wife , vigilant , sober , of good behaviour , given to hospitality , apt to teach ; 3 : 3 Not given to wine , no striker , not greedy of filthy lucre ; but patient , not a brawler , not covetous ; 3 : 4 One that ruleth well his own house , having his children in subjection with all gravity ; 3 : 5
( For if a man know not how to rule his own house , how shall he take care of the church of God ? ) 3 : 6 Not a novice , lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil .
3 : 7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without ; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil .
3 : 8 Likewise must the deacons be grave , not doubletongued , not given to much wine , not greedy of filthy lucre ; 3 : 9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience .
3 : 10 And let these also first be proved ; then let them use the office of a deacon , being found blameless .
3 : 11 Even so must their wives be grave , not slanderers , sober , faithful in all things .
3 : 12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife , ruling their children and their own houses well .
3 : 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 .
3 : 14 These things write I unto thee , hoping to come unto thee shortly :
3 : 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 .
3 : 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 .
4 : 1 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 ; 4 : 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy ; having their conscience seared with a hot iron ; 4 : 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 : 4 For every creature of God is good , and nothing to be refused , if it be received with thanksgiving : 4 : 5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer .
4 : 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 .
4 : 7 But refuse profane and old wives ’ fables , and exercise thyself rather unto godliness .
4 : 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 .
4 : 9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation .
4 : 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 .
4 : 11 These things command and teach .
4 : 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 .
4 : 13 Till I come , give attendance to reading , to exhortation , to doctrine .
4 : 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 .
4 : 15 Meditate upon these things ; give thyself wholly to them ; that thy profiting may appear to all .
4 : 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 .
5 : 1 Rebuke not an elder , but intreat him as a father ; and the younger men as brethren ; 5 : 2 The elder women as mothers ; the younger as sisters , with all purity .
5 : 3 Honour widows that are widows indeed .
5 : 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 : 5 Now she that is a widow indeed , and desolate , trusteth in God , and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day .
5 : 6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth .
5 : 7 And these things give in charge , that they may be blameless .
5 : 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 .
5 : 9 Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old , having been the wife of one man .
5 : 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 .
5 : 11 But the younger widows refuse : for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ , they will marry ; 5 : 12 Having damnation , because they have cast off their first faith .
5 : 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 .
5 : 14 I will therefore that the younger women marry , bear children , guide the house , give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully .
5 : 15 For some are already turned aside after Satan .
5 : 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 .
5 : 17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour , especially they who labour in the word and doctrine .
5 : 18 For the scripture saith , Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn . And , The labourer is worthy of his reward .
5 : 19 Against an elder receive not an accusation , but before two or three witnesses .
5 : 20 Them that sin rebuke before all , that others also may fear .
5 : 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 .
5 : 22 Lay hands suddenly on no man , neither be partaker of other men ’ s sins : keep thyself pure .
5 : 23 Drink no longer water , but use a little wine for thy stomach ’ s sake and thine often infirmities .
5 : 24 Some men ’ s sins are open beforehand , going before to judgment ; and some men they follow after .
5 : 25 Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand ; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid .
6 : 1 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 .
6 : 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 .
6 : 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 ; 6 : 4 He is proud , knowing nothing , but doting about questions and strifes of words , whereof cometh envy , strife , railings , evil surmisings , 6 : 5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds , and destitute of the truth , supposing that gain is godliness : from such withdraw thyself .

( because our testimony among you was believed ) in that day .

1 : 11 Wherefore also we pray always for you , that our God would count you worthy of this calling , and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness , and the work of faith with power : 1 : 12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you , and ye in him , according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ .

2 : 1 Now we beseech you , brethren , by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ , and by our gathering together unto him , 2 : 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind , or be troubled , neither by spirit , nor by word , nor by letter as from us , as that the day of Christ is at hand .

2 : 16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself , and God , even our Father , which hath loved us , and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace , 2 : 17 Comfort your hearts , and stablish you in every good word and work .

3 : 1 Finally , brethren , pray for us , that the word of the Lord may have free course , and be glorified , even as it is with you : 3 : 2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men : for all men have not faith .

3 : 3 But the Lord is faithful , who shall stablish you , and keep you from evil .

3 : 4 And we have confidence in the Lord touching you , that ye both do and will do the things which we command you .

3 : 5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God , and into the patient waiting for Christ .

3 : 6 Now we command you , brethren , in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ , that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly , and not after the tradition which he received of us .

3 : 7 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us : for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you ; 3 : 8 Neither did we eat any man ’ s bread for nought ; but wrought with labour and travail night and day , that we might not be chargeable to any of you : 3 : 9 Not because we have not power , but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us .

3 : 18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all . Amen .

5 : 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 .

5 : 22 Lay hands suddenly on no man , neither be partaker of other men ’ s sins : keep thyself pure .

5 : 23 Drink no longer water , but use a little wine for thy stomach ’ s sake and thine often infirmities .

5 : 24 Some men ’ s sins are open beforehand , going before to judgment ; and some men they follow after .

5 : 25 Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand ; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid .

6 : 1 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 .

6 : 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 .

6 : 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 ; 6 : 4 He is proud , knowing nothing , but doting about questions and strifes of words , whereof cometh envy , strife , railings , evil surmisings , 6 : 5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds , and destitute of the truth , supposing that gain is godliness : from such withdraw thyself .
