1 Timothy 1:1-13 ▼

1 Paul an Apostle of Iesus Christ by the comaundement of God oure savioure and Lorde Iesus Christ which is oure hope.

2 Vnto Timothe his naturall sonne in the fayth.Grace mercy and peace from God oure father and Lorde Iesus Christ oure Lorde.

3 As I besought the to abyde styll in Ephesus when I departed into Macedonia even so do that thou comaunde some that they teache no nother wise:

4 nether geve hede to fables and genealogies which are endlesse and brede doutes more then godly edyfyinge which is by fayth:

5 for ye ende of the comaundemet is love that cometh of a pure herte and of a good conscience and of fayth vnfayned:

6 fro the which thinges some have erred and have turned vnto vayne iangelinge

7 because they wolde be doctours the scripture and yet vnderstonde not what they speake nether wherof they affirme.

8 We knowe yt the lawe is good yf a man vse it lawfully

9 vnderstondinge this how yt the lawe is not geven vnto a righteous man bu vnto the vnrighteous and disobediet to the vngodly and to synners to vnholy and vnclean to murtherers of fathers and murtherers of mothers to manslears

10 and whormongers: to them that defile them selves with mankynde: to menstealers: to lyars and to periured and so forth yf ther be eny other thinge that is cotrary to holsome doctrine

11 accordinge to the gospell of the glory of the blessed God which gospell is committed vnto me.

12 And I thanke Christ Iesus oure Lorde which hath made me stronge: for he counted me true and put me in office

13 when before I was a blasphemar and a persecuter and a tyraut. But I obtayned mercy because I dyd it ignorautly thorow vnbelefe.
