Scriptures

King James Version (KJV)

1 Timothy 1
³ As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
⁴ Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
⁵ Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
⁶ From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
⁷ Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
⁸ But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
⁹ Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
¹⁰ For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
¹¹ According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
¹² And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
¹³ Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
