-
to Timotheus -- genuine child in faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord,
-
nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, that cause questions rather than the building up of God that is in faith: --
-
And the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned,
-
and exceedingly abound did the grace of our Lord, with faith and love that [is] in Christ Jesus:
-
but because of this I found kindness, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern of those about to believe on him to life age-during:
-
having faith and a good conscience, which certain having thrust away, concerning the faith did make shipwreck,
-
in regard to which I was set a preacher and apostle -- truth I say in Christ, I do not lie -- a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.
-
and she shall be saved through the child-bearing, if they remain in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.
-
having the secret of the faith in a pure conscience,
-
Women -- in like manner grave, not false accusers, vigilant, faithful in all things.
-
for those who did minister well a good step to themselves do acquire, and much boldness in faith that [is] in Christ Jesus.
-
and, confessedly, great is the secret of piety -- God was manifested in flesh, declared righteous in spirit, seen by messengers, preached among nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory!
-
And the Spirit expressly speaketh, that in latter times shall certain fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and teachings of demons,
-
forbidding to marry -- to abstain from meats that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those believing and acknowledging the truth,
-
These things placing before the brethren, thou shalt be a good ministrant of Jesus Christ, being nourished by the words of the faith, and of the good teaching, which thou didst follow after,
-
for for this we both labour and are reproached, because we hope on the living God, who is Saviour of all men -- especially of those believing.
-
let no one despise thy youth, but a pattern become thou of those believing in word, in behaviour, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity;
-
and if any one for his own -- and especially for those of the household -- doth not provide, the faith he hath denied, and than an unbeliever he is worse.
-
having judgment, because the first faith they did cast away,
-
If any believing man or believing woman have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the assembly be burdened, that those really widows it may relieve.
-
and those having believing masters, let them not slight [them], because they are brethren, but rather let them serve, because they are stedfast and beloved, who of the benefit are partaking. These things be teaching and exhorting;
-
for a root of all the evils is the love of money, which certain longing for did go astray from the faith, and themselves did pierce through with many sorrows;
-
and thou, O man of God, these things flee, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, meekness;
-
be striving the good strife of the faith, be laying hold on the life age-during, to which also thou wast called, and didst profess the right profession before many witnesses.
-
which certain professing -- concerning the faith did swerve; the grace [is] with you. Amen.
