WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:03.160 The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy. 00:03.920 --> 00:04.940 Chapter 1. 00:06.520 --> 00:10.560 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God our Saviour, 00:10.820 --> 00:17.460 and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope, unto Timothy, my own son in the faith, 00:18.260 --> 00:23.420 grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father, and Jesus Christ our Lord. 00:25.220 --> 00:30.380 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, 00:30.860 --> 00:34.720 that thou mightest charge some, that they teach no other doctrine, 00:35.420 --> 00:40.460 neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, 00:40.980 --> 00:44.720 rather than godly edifying, which is in faith, so do. 00:45.840 --> 00:50.240 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good 00:50.240 --> 00:53.120 conscience, and of faith unfeigned. 00:53.780 --> 00:58.540 From which some, having swerved, have turned aside unto vain jangling, 00:59.500 --> 01:04.400 desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say, 01:04.840 --> 01:06.140 nor whereof they affirm. 01:06.940 --> 01:12.640 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully, knowing this, 01:13.240 --> 01:18.780 that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, 01:19.240 --> 01:24.920 for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of 01:24.920 --> 01:30.320 fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for whoremongers, 01:30.840 --> 01:36.700 for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, 01:37.280 --> 01:42.580 for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound 01:42.580 --> 01:43.020 doctrine. 01:43.600 --> 01:47.940 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my 01:47.940 --> 01:54.440 trust, and I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted 01:54.440 --> 02:00.400 me faithful, putting me into the ministry, who was before a blasphemer, and a 02:00.400 --> 02:02.200 persecutor, and injurious. 02:03.040 --> 02:08.820 But I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly, in unbelief, and the grace of 02:08.820 --> 02:13.780 our Lord was exceeding abundant, with faith and love, which is in Christ 02:13.780 --> 02:14.220 Jesus. 02:14.940 --> 02:21.900 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came 02:21.900 --> 02:26.360 into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. 02:27.360 --> 02:33.000 How be it for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show 02:33.000 --> 02:38.280 forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them, which would hereafter believe on 02:38.280 --> 02:40.060 him, to life everlasting. 02:40.980 --> 02:46.740 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour 02:46.740 --> 02:48.920 and glory for ever and ever. 02:49.520 --> 02:49.860 Amen. 02:51.260 --> 02:56.700 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies 02:56.700 --> 03:02.100 which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare, 03:02.700 --> 03:07.240 holding faith and a good conscience, which some, having put away concerning 03:07.240 --> 03:12.940 faith, have made shipwreck, of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have 03:12.940 --> 03:16.620 delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
