\verseNumber{3}As|strong="G2531" I besought|strong="G3870" thee|strong="G4571" to abide still|strong="G4357" at|strong="G1722" Ephesus|strong="G2181", when I went|strong="G4198" into|strong="G1519" Macedonia|strong="G3109", that|strong="G2443" thou mightest charge|strong="G3853" some|strong="G5100" that they teach|strong="G2085" no|strong="G3361" other doctrine|strong="G2085",

\verseNumber{5}Now|strong="G1161" the end|strong="G5056" of the commandment|strong="G3852" is|strong="G2076" charity|strong="G0026" out of|strong="G1537" a pure|strong="G2513" heart|strong="G2588", and|strong="G2532" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{of} a good|strong="G0018" conscience|strong="G4893", and|strong="G2532" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{of} faith|strong="G4102" unfeigned|strong="G0505":

\verseNumber{8}But|strong="G1161" we know|strong="G1492" that|strong="G3754" the law|strong="G3551" \BibleCharacterStyleADD{is} good|strong="G2570", if|strong="G1437" a man|strong="G5100" use|strong="G5530" it|strong="G0846" lawfully|strong="G3545";

\verseNumber{11}According to|strong="G2596" the glorious|strong="G1391" gospel|strong="G2098" of the blessed|strong="G3107" God|strong="G2316", which|strong="G3739" was committed to|strong="G4100" my|strong="G1473" trust|strong="G4100". 
\verseNumber{12}And|strong="G2532" I|strong="G2192" thank|strong="G5485" Christ|strong="G5547" Jesus|strong="G2424" our|strong="G2257" Lord|strong="G2962", who hath enabled|strong="G1743" me|strong="G3165", for that|strong="G3754" he counted|strong="G2233" me|strong="G3165" faithful|strong="G4103", putting me|strong="G5087" into|strong="G1519" the ministry|strong="G1248";

\verseNumber{17}Now|strong="G1161" unto the King|strong="G0935" eternal|strong="G0165", immortal|strong="G0862", invisible|strong="G0517", the only|strong="G3441" wise|strong="G4680" God|strong="G2316", \BibleCharacterStyleADD{be} honour|strong="G5092" and|strong="G2532" glory|strong="G1391" for|strong="G1519" ever|strong="G0165" and ever|strong="G0165". Amen|strong="G0281".

\verseNumber{19}Holding|strong="G2192" faith|strong="G4102", and|strong="G2532" a good|strong="G0018" conscience|strong="G4893"; which|strong="G3739" some|strong="G5100" having put away|strong="G0683" concerning|strong="G4012" faith|strong="G4102" have made shipwreck|strong="G3489": 
\verseNumber{20}Of whom|strong="G3739" is|strong="G2076" Hymenaeus|strong="G5211" and|strong="G2532" Alexander|strong="G0223"; whom|strong="G3739" I have delivered|strong="G3860" unto Satan|strong="G4567", that|strong="G2443" they may learn|strong="G3811" not|strong="G3361" to blaspheme|strong="G0987".
