stedfast [is] the word, and of all acceptation worthy, that Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners -- first of whom I am;

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:

I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, for all men:

for kings, and all who are in authority, that a quiet and peaceable life we may lead in all piety and gravity,

who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth;

who did give himself a ransom for all -- the testimony in its own times --

Let a woman in quietness learn in all subjection,

his own house leading well, having children in subjection with all gravity,

Women -- in like manner grave, not false accusers, vigilant, faithful in all things.

for the bodily exercise is unto little profit, and the piety is to all things profitable, a promise having of the life that now is, and of that which is coming;

stedfast [is] the word, and of all acceptation worthy;

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.

of these things be careful; in these things be, that thy advancement may be manifest in all things;

aged women as mothers, younger ones as sisters -- in all purity;

Those sinning, reprove before all, that the others also may have fear;

As many as are servants under a yoke, their own masters worthy of all honour let them reckon, that the name of God and the teaching may not be evil spoken of;

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;

I charge thee, before God, who is making all things alive, and of Christ Jesus, who did testify before Pontius Pilate the right profession,

Those rich in the present age charge thou not to be high-minded, nor to hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, who is giving to us all things richly for enjoyment; --
