( AN) The Charge to Timothy Renewedġ8 Timothy, my son, ( AO) I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, ( AP) so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well, ( AQ) 19 holding on to faith and a good conscience, ( AR) which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith. ( AI) 17 Now to the King ( AJ) eternal, immortal, ( AK) invisible, ( AL) the only God, ( AM) be honor and glory for ever and ever. 16 But for that very reason I was shown mercy ( AF) so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience ( AG) as an example for those who would believe ( AH) in him and receive eternal life. ( AC)ġ5 Here is a trustworthy saying ( AD) that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners ( AE)-of whom I am the worst.

( O) 6 Some have departed from these and have turned to meaningless talk. 5 The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart ( M) and a good conscience ( N) and a sincere faith. ( K) Such things promote controversial speculations ( L) rather than advancing God’s work-which is by faith.
( F) Timothy Charged to Oppose False Teachersģ As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, ( G) stay there in Ephesus ( H) so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines ( I) any longer 4 or to devote themselves to myths ( J) and endless genealogies. Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. 1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God ( A) our Savior ( B) and of Christ Jesus our hope, ( C)Ģ To Timothy ( D) my true son ( E) in the faith:
