Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,
-
To Timothy my true son in the faith: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
-
The Lord’s Grace to Paul
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service.
-
The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
-
This is good, and pleases God our Savior,
-
That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe.
-
Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, and do not share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
-
The sins of some are obvious, reaching the place of judgment ahead of them; the sins of others trail behind them.
-
All who are under the yoke of slavery should consider their masters worthy of full respect, so that God’s name and our teaching may not be slandered.
-
If anyone teaches otherwise and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching,
-
Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
-
In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I charge you
-
to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
-
Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
