| 1 | Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God, our Savior, and Christ Jesus, our hope; | Ro 1:1 1Co 1:1 |
| 2 | to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father, and Christ Jesus, our Lord. | Ac 16:1-3 1Th 3:2 |
| 3 | As I exhorted you to stay at Ephesus, when I was going into Macedonia, that you might charge certain men not to teach a different doctrine, | Ac 19:1-10 |
| 4 | neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes, rather than God`s stewardship, which is in faith -- | 1Ti 4:7 1Ti 6:4 1Ti 6:20 2Ti 2:14 2Ti 2:16-18 2Ti 4:4 Tit 1:14 2Pe 1:16 |
| 5 | But the end of the charge is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith; | Ro 10:4 Ro 13:8-10 Ga 5:13 Ga 5:14 Ga 5:22 1Jn 4:7-14 |
| 6 | from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned aside to vain talking; | 1Ti 6:21 2Ti 2:18 2Ti 4:10 |
| 7 | desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm. | Ac 15:1 Ro 2:19-21 Ga 3:2 Ga 3:5 Ga 4:21 Ga 5:3 Ga 5:4 Tit 1:10 Tit 1:11 |
| 8 | But we know that the law is good, if a man uses it lawfully, | Dt 4:6-8 Ne 9:13 Ps 19:7-10 Ps 119:96-105 Ps 119:127-105 Ps 119:128-105 Ro 7:12 Ro 7:13 Ro 7:16 Ro 7:18 Ro 7:22 Ro 12:2 Ga 3:21 |
| 9 | as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, | Ro 4:13 Ro 5:20 Ro 6:14 Ga 3:10-14 Ga 3:19-14 Ga 5:23 |
| 10 | for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine; | Mk 7:21 Mk 7:22 1Co 6:9 1Co 6:10 Ga 5:19-21 Eph 5:3-6 Heb 13:4 |
| 11 | according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust. | Ro 2:16 |
| 12 | And I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus, our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service; | Jn 5:23 Php 2:11 Rev 5:9-14 Rev 7:10-12 |
| 13 | although I was before a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. | Ac 8:3 Ac 9:1 Ac 9:5 Ac 9:13 Ac 22:4 Ac 26:9-11 1Co 15:9 Ga 1:13 Php 3:6 |
| 14 | The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. | Ac 15:11 Ro 16:20 2Co 8:9 2Co 13:14 Rev 22:21 |
| 15 | The saying is faithful, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. | 1Ti 1:19 1Ti 3:1 1Ti 4:9 2Ti 2:11 Tit 3:8 Rev 21:5 Rev 22:6 |
| 16 | However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me as chief, Jesus Christ might display all his patience, for an example of those who were going to believe in him to eternal life. | Nm 23:3 Ps 25:11 Isa 1:18 Isa 43:25 Eph 1:6 Eph 1:12 Eph 2:7 2Th 1:10 |
| 17 | Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. | 1Ti 6:15 1Ti 6:16 Ps 10:16 Ps 45:1 Ps 45:6 Ps 47:6-8 Ps 90:2 Ps 145:13 Jer 10:10 Dn 2:44 Dn 7:14 Mic 5:2 Mal 1:14 Mt 6:13 Mt 25:34 Ro 1:23 Heb 1:8-13 Rev 17:14 Rev 19:16 |
| 18 | This charge I commit to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to you, that by them you may wage the good warfare; | 1Ti 1:11 1Ti 1:12 1Ti 4:14 1Ti 6:13 1Ti 6:14 1Ti 6:20 2Ti 2:2 2Ti 4:1-3 |
| 19 | holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith; | 1Ti 1:5 1Ti 3:9 Tit 1:9 Heb 3:14 1Pe 3:15 1Pe 3:16 Rev 3:3 Rev 3:8 Rev 3:10 |
| 20 | of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme. | 2Ti 2:17 |
