1Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ, by(according to) the commandment of God our saviour, and of the Lord Jesu(Iesus) Christ, which is our hope.
2Unto Timothy his(my) natural son in the faith. Grace mercy and peace from God our father, and from the Lord Jesu Christ.(Lord Iesus Christ our LORD.)
3As I besought thee to abide still in Ephesus when I departed into Macedonia, even so do that thou command some that they teach no other wise:
4neither give heed to fables and genealogies, which are endless, and breed doubts, more than Godly edifying which is by faith:
5for the end(the chief sum) of the commandment is love that cometh of a pure heart and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
6from the which things, some have erred, and have turned unto vain jangling,
7because they would(willing to) be doctors in(of) the scripture, and yet understand not what they speak, neither whereof they affirm.
8We know that the law is god,(good) if a man use it lawfully,
9understanding this, how that the law is not given unto a righteous man, but unto the unrighteous and disobedient, to the ungodly and to sinners, to unholy and unclean, to murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, to manslayers
10and whoremongers: to them that defile themselves with mankind: to menstealers: to liars and to perjured, and so forth if there be any other thing that is contrary to wholesome doctrine
11according to the glorious gospel of the holy God,(the gospell of the glory of the blessed God) which gospel(gospell) is committed unto me.
12And I thank him that hath made me strong in Christ Jesu our Lord:(And i thank Christ Iesus our Lorde which hath made me strong:) for he counted me true, and put me in office,
13when before I was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a tyrant. Nevertheless(But) I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly, in(thorow) unbelief:
14but(Neverthelater) the grace of our Lord was more abundant, with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesu.
15This is a true saying, and by all means worthy to be received, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief:
16Notwithstanding unto me was mercy given,(for this cause was mercy given unto me)(obtained I mercy) that Jesus Christ should first(might principally) shew on(in) me all long patience, unto the ensample of them which shall in time to come believe on(which should believe in) him unto eternal life.
17So then unto God, King everlasting, immortal, invisible, and wise only, be honour and praise for ever and ever Amen.
18This commandment commit I unto thee son Timotheus, according to the prophecies which in time past were prophesied of thee, that thou in them shouldest fight a good fight,
19having faith and good conscience, which some have put away from them, and as concerning faith have made shipwreck.
20Of whose number is Himeneus, and Alexander, which I have delivered unto Satan, that they might be taught not(no more) to blaspheme.
