1 Timothy 1
The end of the
commandment is charity out of a pure heart
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 Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
