The Charge to Timothy Renewed

¹⁸ Timothy, my son,^(A) I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you,^(B) so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well,^{(C) 19} holding on to faith and a good conscience,^(D) which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith.^{(E) 20} Among them are Hymenaeus^(F) and Alexander,^(G) whom I have handed over to Satan^(H) to be taught not to blaspheme.

Instructions on Worship

2 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers,^(I) intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— ² for kings and all those in authority,^(J) that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness^(K) and holiness. ³ This is good, and pleases^(L) God our Savior,^{(M) 4} who wants^(N) all people^(O) to be saved^(P) and to come to a knowledge of the truth.^{(Q) 5} For there is one God^(R) and one mediator^(S) between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,^{(T) 6} who gave himself as a ransom^(U) for all people. This has now been witnessed to^(V) at the proper time.^{(W) 7} And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying^(X)—and a true and faithful teacher^(Y) of the Gentiles.^(Z)

⁸ Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands^(AA) without anger or disputing.
