¹ Paul, [the] apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God our Saviour, and of Jesus Christ our hope,

² to Timothy, beloved son in the faith, grace and mercy and peace, of God the Father, and of Jesus Christ, our Lord.

³ As I prayed thee, that thou shouldest dwell at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou shouldest command to some men, that they should not teach other way,

⁴ neither give attention to fables and genealogies that be uncertain [or without end], which give questions, more than edification of God, that is in the faith.

⁵ For the end of the commandment is charity of clean heart, and good conscience, and of faith not feigned.

⁶ From which things some men have erred, and be turned into vain speech;

⁷ and will to be teachers of the law, and understand not what things they speak, neither of what things they affirm.

⁸ And we know that the law is good, if any man use it lawfully;

⁹ and witting this thing, that the law is not set [or not put] to a just man, but to unjust men and not subject, to wicked men and to sinners, to cursed men and defouled, to slayers of father, and slayers of mother, to manslayers

¹⁰ and lechers, to them that do lechery with men, [or and fornicators, to them that trespass with males against kind, sellers, or stealers, of men], leasing-mongers and forsworn, and if any other thing is contrary to the wholesome teaching,

¹¹ that is after the gospel of the glory of blessed God, which is betaken to me.

¹² I do thankings to him, that comforted me in Christ Jesus our Lord, for he guessed me faithful, and put me in ministry,

¹³ that first was a blasphemer, and a pursuer, and full of wrongs. But I have gotten the mercy of God, for I unknowing did in unbelief.

¹⁴ But the grace of our Lord over-abounded, with faith and love that is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁵ A true word and worthy all receiving, for Christ Jesus came into this world to make sinful men safe, of which I am the first.

¹⁶ But therefore I have gotten mercy, that Christ Jesus should show in me first all patience, to the informing of them that shall believe to him into everlasting life.

¹⁷ And to the king of worlds, undeadly, and invisible God alone, be honour and glory into worlds of worlds. Amen.

¹⁸ I betake this commandment to thee, thou son Timothy, after the prophecies that have been heretofore in thee, that thou travail [or fight] in them a good travail,

¹⁹ having faith and good conscience, which some men cast away, and perished about the faith.

²⁰ Of which is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I betook to Satan, that they learn not to blaspheme.
