{\MTB THE FIRST EPISTLE OF PAUL TO
\par }{\MT TIMOTHY

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Paul,
an apostle
of
Christ
Jesus
according
to
the
commandment
of
God
our
Saviour,
and
Christ
Jesus
our
hope;
\VS{2}unto
Timothy,
my
true
child
in
faith:
Grace,
mercy,
peace,
from
God
the
Father
and
Christ
Jesus
our
Lord.
\par }{\BB \par }{\PP \VS{3}As
I
exhorted
thee
to
tarry
at
Ephesus,
when
I
was
going
into
Macedonia,
that
thou mightest
charge
certain
men
not
to
teach
a
different
doctrine,
\VS{4}neither
to
give
heed
to
fables
and
endless
genealogies,
which
minister questionings,
rather
than
a
dispensation
of
God
which
is
in
faith;
{\ADD{
so
do
I
now}}.
\VS{5}But
the
end
of
the
charge
is
love
out
of
a
pure
heart
and
a
good
conscience
and
faith unfeigned:
\VS{6}from
which
things
some
having swerved
have
turned
aside
unto
vain
talking;
\VS{7}desiring
to
be
teachers
of
the
law,
though
they
understand
neither
what
they
say,
nor
whereof
they
confidently
affirm.
\VS{8}But
we
know
that
the
law
is
good,
if
a
man
use
it
lawfully,
\VS{9}as
knowing
this,
that
law
is
not
made
for
a
righteous
man,
but
for
the
lawless
and
unruly,
for
the
ungodly
and
sinners,
for
the
unholy
and
profane,
for
murderers
of
fathers
and
murderers
of
mothers,
for manslayers,
\VS{10}for
fornicators,
for abusers
of
themselves
with
men,
for menstealers,
for
liars,
for
false
swearers,
and
if
there
be
any
other
thing
contrary
to
the
sound
doctrine;
\VS{11}according
to
the
gospel
of
the
glory
of
the
blessed
God,
which
was
committed
to
my
trust.
\par }{\PP \VS{12}I
thank
him
that
enabled
me,
{\ADD{
even}}
Christ
Jesus
our
Lord,
for
that
he
counted
me
faithful, appointing
me
to
{\ADD{
his}}
service;
\VS{13}though
I
was
before
a blasphemer,
and
a
persecutor,
and
injurious:
howbeit
I
obtained
mercy,
because
I
did
it
ignorantly
in unbelief;
\VS{14}and
the
grace
of
our
Lord abounded
exceedingly
with
faith
and
love
which
is
in
Christ
Jesus.
\VS{15}Faithful
is
the
saying,
and
worthy
of
all acceptation,
that
Christ
Jesus
came
into
the
world
to
save
sinners;
of
whom
I
am
chief:
\VS{16}howbeit
for
this
cause
I
obtained
mercy,
that
in
me
as
chief
might
Jesus
Christ
show
forth
all
his
longsuffering,
for
an ensample
of
them
that
should
thereafter
believe
on
him
unto
eternal
life.
\VS{17}Now
unto
the
King
eternal, immortal, invisible,
the
only
God,
{\ADD{
be}}
honor
and
glory
for
ever
and
ever.
Amen.
\par }{\PP \VS{18}This
charge
I
commit
unto
thee,
my
child
Timothy,
according
to
the
prophecies
which
led
the
way
to
thee,
that
by
them
thou
mayest
war
the
good
warfare;
\VS{19}holding
faith
and
a
good
conscience;
which
some
having
thrust
from
them
made
shipwreck
concerning
the
faith:
\VS{20}of
whom
is Hymenæus
and Alexander;
whom
I
delivered
unto
Satan,
that
they
might
be
taught
not
to
blaspheme.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}I
exhort
therefore,
first
of
all,
that
supplications,
prayers,
intercessions,
thanksgivings,
be
made
for
all
men;
\VS{2}for
kings
and
all
that
are
in
high
place;
that
we
may
lead
a
tranquil
and
quiet
life
in
all
godliness
and
gravity.
\VS{3}This
is
good
and
acceptable
in
the
sight
of
God
our
Saviour;
\VS{4}who
would
have
all
men
to
be
saved,
and
come
to
the
knowledge
of
the
truth.
\VS{5}For
there
is
one
God,
one
mediator
also
between
God
and
men,
{\ADD{
himself}}
man,
Christ
Jesus,
\VS{6}who
gave
himself
a
ransom
for
all;
the
testimony
{\ADD{
to
be
borne}}
in
its
own
times;
\VS{7}whereunto
I
was
appointed
a
preacher
and
an apostle (I
speak
the
truth,
I
lie
not),
a
teacher
of
the
Gentiles
in
faith
and
truth.
\par }{\PP \VS{8}I
desire
therefore
that
the
men
pray
in
every
place,
lifting
up
holy
hands,
without
wrath
and
disputing.
\VS{9}In
like
manner,
that
women
adorn
themselves
in
modest
apparel,
with shamefastness
and
sobriety;
not
with
braided
hair,
and
gold
or
pearls
or
costly
raiment;
\VS{10}but (which
becometh
women
professing
godliness)
through
good
works.
\VS{11}Let
a
woman
learn
in
quietness
with
all
subjection.
\VS{12}But
I
permit
not
a
woman
to
teach,
nor
to
have
dominion
over
a
man,
but
to
be
in
quietness.
\VS{13}For
Adam
was
first
formed,
then
Eve;
\VS{14}and
Adam
was
not
beguiled,
but
the
woman
being
beguiled
hath
fallen
into
transgression:
\VS{15}but
she
shall
be
saved
through
her child-bearing,
if
they
continue
in
faith
and
love
and sanctification
with
sobriety.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Faithful
is
the
saying,
If
a
man
seeketh
the
office
of
a
bishop,
he
desireth
a
good
work.
\VS{2}The
bishop
therefore
must
be
without
reproach,
the
husband
of
one
wife,
temperate, sober-minded,
orderly,
given
to
hospitality,
apt
to
teach;
\VS{3}no
brawler,
no
striker;
but
gentle,
not
contentious,
no
lover
of
money;
\VS{4}one
that
ruleth
well
his
own
house,
having
{\ADD{
his}}
children
in
subjection
with
all
gravity;
\VS{5}(but
if
a
man
knoweth
not
how
to
rule
his
own
house,
how
shall
he
take
care
of
the
church
of
God?)
\VS{6}not
a
novice,
lest
being puffed
up
he
fall
into
the
condemnation
of
the
devil.
\VS{7}Moreover
he
must
have
good
testimony
from
them
that
are
without;
lest
he
fall
into
reproach
and
the
snare
of
the
devil.
\VS{8}Deacons
in
like
manner
{\ADD{
must
be}}
grave,
not
double-tongued,
not
given
to
much
wine,
not
greedy
of
filthy
lucre;
\VS{9}holding
the
mystery
of
the
faith
in
a
pure
conscience.
\VS{10}And
let
these
also
first
be
proved;
then
let
them
serve
as
deacons,
if
they
be
blameless.
\VS{11}Women
in
like
manner
{\ADD{
must
be}}
grave,
not
slanderers,
temperate,
faithful
in
all
things.
\VS{12}Let
deacons
be
husbands
of
one
wife,
ruling
{\ADD{
their}}
children
and
their
own
houses
well.
\VS{13}For
they
that
have
served
well
as
deacons
gain
to
themselves
a
good
standing,
and
great
boldness
in
the
faith
which
is
in
Christ
Jesus.
\par }{\PP \VS{14}These
things
write
I
unto
thee,
hoping
to
come
unto
thee
shortly;
\VS{15}but
if
I
tarry
long,
that
thou
mayest
know
how
men
ought
to
behave
themselves
in
the
house
of
God,
which
is
the
church
of
the
living
God,
the
pillar
and
ground
of
the
truth.
\VS{16}And
without
controversy
great
is
the
mystery
of
godliness;
\par }{\Q He
who
was
manifested
in
the
flesh,
\par }{\QB Justified
in
the
spirit,
\par }{\QC Seen
of
angels,
\par }{\Q Preached
among
the
nations,
\par }{\QB Believed
on
in
the
world,
\par }{\QC Received
up
in
glory.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}But
the
Spirit
saith
expressly,
that
in
later
times
some
shall
fall
away
from
the
faith,
giving
heed
to
seducing
spirits
and
doctrines
of
demons,
\VS{2}through
the
hypocrisy
of
men
that
speak
lies, branded
in
their
own
conscience
as
with
a
hot
iron;
\VS{3}forbidding
to
marry,
{\ADD{
and
commanding}}
to
abstain
from
meats,
which
God
created
to
be
received
with
thanksgiving
by
them
that
believe
and
know
the
truth.
\VS{4}For
every
creature
of
God
is
good,
and
nothing
is
to
be
rejected,
if
it
be
received
with
thanksgiving:
\VS{5}for
it
is
sanctified
through
the
word
of
God
and
prayer.
\par }{\PP \VS{6}If
thou
put
the
brethren
in
mind
of
these
things,
thou
shalt
be
a
good
minister
of
Christ
Jesus,
nourished
in
the
words
of
the
faith,
and
of
the
good
doctrine
which
thou
hast
followed
{\ADD{
until
now}}:
\VS{7}but
refuse
profane
and
old
wives’
fables.
And
exercise
thyself
unto
godliness:
\VS{8}for
bodily
exercise
is
profitable
for
a
little;
but
godliness
is
profitable
for
all
things,
having
promise
of
the
life
which
now
is,
and
of
that
which
is
to
come.
\VS{9}Faithful
is
the
saying,
and
worthy
of
all acceptation.
\VS{10}For
to
this
end
we
labor
and
strive,
because
we
have
our
hope
set
on
the
living
God,
who
is
the
Saviour
of
all
men,
specially
of
them
that
believe.
\VS{11}These
things
command
and
teach.
\VS{12}Let
no
man
despise
thy
youth;
but
be
thou
an
ensample
to
them
that
believe,
in
word,
in
manner
of
life,
in
love,
in
faith,
in
purity.
\VS{13}Till
I
come,
give
heed
to
reading,
to
exhortation,
to
teaching.
\VS{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.
\VS{15}Be
diligent
in
these
things;
give
thyself
wholly
to
them;
that
thy
progress
may
be
manifest
unto
all.
\VS{16}Take
heed
to
thyself,
and
to
thy
teaching.
Continue
in
these
things;
for
in
doing
this
thou
shalt
save
both
thyself
and
them
that
hear
thee.

\par }\Chap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Rebuke
not
an
elder,
but
exhort
him
as
a
father;
the
younger
men
as
brethren:
\VS{2}the
elder
women
as
mothers;
the
younger
as
sisters,
in
all
purity.
\VS{3}Honor
widows
that
are
widows
indeed.
\VS{4}But
if
any
widow
hath
children
or
grandchildren,
let
them
learn
first
to
show
piety towards
their
own
family,
and
to
requite
their
parents:
for
this
is
acceptable
in
the
sight
of
God.
\VS{5}Now
she
that
is
a
widow
indeed,
and
desolate,
hath
her
hope
set
on
God,
and
continueth
in
supplications
and
prayers
night
and
day.
\VS{6}But
she
that
giveth
herself
to
pleasure
is
dead
while
she
liveth.
\VS{7}These
things
also
command,
that
they
may
be
without
reproach.
\VS{8}But
if
any
provideth
not
for
his
own,
and
specially
his
own
household,
he
hath
denied
the
faith,
and
is
worse
than
an unbeliever.
\VS{9}Let
none
be
enrolled
as
a
widow
under
threescore
years
old,
{\ADD{
having
been}}
the
wife
of
one
man,
\VS{10}well
reported
of
for
good
works;
if
she
hath
brought
up
children,
if
she
hath
used
hospitality
to
strangers,
if
she
hath
washed
the saints’
feet,
if
she
hath
relieved
the
afflicted,
if
she
hath
diligently
followed
every
good
work.
\VS{11}But
younger
widows
refuse:
for
when
they
have
waxed
wanton
against
Christ,
they
desire
to
marry;
\VS{12}having
condemnation,
because
they
have
rejected
their
first
pledge.
\VS{13}And
withal
they
learn
also
{\ADD{
to
be}}
idle,
going
about
from
house
to
house;
and
not
only
idle,
but
tattlers
also
and
busybodies,
speaking
things
which
they
ought
not.
\VS{14}I
desire
therefore
that
the
younger
{\ADD{
widows}}
marry,
bear
children,
rule
the
household,
give
no
occasion
to
the
adversary
for
reviling:
\VS{15}for
already
some
are
turned
aside
after
Satan.
\VS{16}If
any
woman
that
believeth
hath
widows,
let
her
relieve
them,
and
let
not
the
church
be
burdened;
that
it
may
relieve
them
that
are
widows
indeed.
\par }{\PP \VS{17}Let
the
elders
that
rule
well
be
counted
worthy
of
double
honor,
especially
those
who
labor
in
the
word
and
in
teaching.
\VS{18}For
the
scripture
saith,
Thou
shalt
not
muzzle
the
ox
when
he
treadeth
out
the
corn.
And,
The
laborer
is
worthy
of
his
hire.
\VS{19}Against
an
elder
receive
not
an
accusation,
except
at
{\ADD{
the
mouth
of}}
two
or
three
witnesses.
\VS{20}Them
that
sin
reprove
in
the
sight
of
all,
that
the
rest
also
may
be
in
fear.
\VS{21}I
charge
{\ADD{
thee}}
in
the
sight
of
God,
and
Christ
Jesus,
and
the
elect
angels,
that
thou
observe
these
things
without
prejudice,
doing
nothing
by
partiality.
\VS{22}Lay
hands
hastily
on
no
man,
neither
be
partaker
of
other
men’s
sins:
keep
thyself
pure.
\VS{23}Be
no
longer
a
drinker
of
water,
but
use
a
little
wine
for
thy
stomach’s
sake
and
thine
often infirmities.
\VS{24}Some
men’s
sins
are
evident,
going
before
unto
judgment;
and
some
men
also
they
follow
after.
\VS{25}In
like
manner
also
there
are
good
works
that
are
evident;
and
such
as
are
otherwise
cannot
be
hid.

\par }\Chap{6}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Let
as
many
as
are
servants
under
the
yoke
count
their
own
masters
worthy
of
all
honor,
that
the
name
of
God
and
the
doctrine
be
not
blasphemed.
\VS{2}And
they
that
have
believing
masters,
let
them
not
despise
them,
because
they
are
brethren;
but
let
them
serve
them
the
rather,
because
they
that partake
of
the
benefit
are
believing
and
beloved.
These
things
teach
and
exhort.
\par }{\PP \VS{3}If
any
man
teacheth
a
different
doctrine,
and consenteth
not
to
sound
words,
{\ADD{
even}}
the
words
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ,
and
to
the
doctrine
which
is
according
to
godliness;
\VS{4}he
is puffed
up,
knowing
nothing,
but
doting
about questionings
and
disputes
of
words,
whereof
cometh
envy,
strife, railings,
evil
surmisings,
\VS{5}wranglings
of
men
corrupted
in
mind
and
bereft
of
the
truth,
supposing
that
godliness
is
a
way
of
gain.
\VS{6}But
godliness
with contentment
is
great
gain:
\VS{7}for
we
brought
nothing
into
the
world,
for
neither
can
we
carry
anything
out;
\VS{8}but
having
food
and
covering
we
shall
be
therewith
content.
\VS{9}But
they
that
are
minded
to
be
rich
fall
into
a
temptation
and
a
snare
and
many
foolish
and
hurtful
lusts,
such
as
drown
men
in
destruction
and perdition.
\VS{10}For
the
love
of
money
is
a
root
of
all
kinds
of
evil:
which
some
reaching
after
have
been
led
astray
from
the
faith,
and
have
pierced
themselves
through
with
many
sorrows.

of

these
things;

after
righteousness,
godliness,
faith,

meekness.

the
good

of

eternal,

thou wast
called,

confess
the
good
confession
in

charge
thee
in
the
sight
of
God,
who
giveth
life
to
all
things,
and
of
Christ
Jesus,
who
before
Pontius
Pilate
witnessed
the
good
confession;

without
spot,
without
reproach,
until

of

he
shall
show,
who
is
the
blessed
and

of

of
