6 : 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain . |
6 : 7 For we brought nothing into this world , and it is certain we can carry nothing out . |
6 : 8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content . |
6 : 9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare , and into many foolish and hurtful lusts , which drown men in destruction and perdition . |
6 : 10 For the love of money is the root of all evil : which while some coveted after , they have erred from the faith , and pierced themselves through with many sorrows . |
6 : 11 But thou , O man of God , flee these things ; and follow after righteousness , godliness , faith , love , patience , meekness . |
6 : 12 Fight the good fight of faith , lay hold on eternal life , whereunto thou art also called , and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses . |
6 : 13 I give thee charge in the sight of God , who quickeneth all things , and before Christ Jesus , who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession ; 6 : 14 That thou keep this commandment without spot , unrebukable , until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ : 6 : 15 Which in his times he shall shew , who is the blessed and only Potentate , the King of kings , and Lord of lords ; 6 : 16 Who only hath immortality , dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto ; whom no man hath seen , nor can see : to whom be honour and power everlasting . Amen . |
6 : 17 Charge them that are rich in this world , that they be not highminded , nor trust in uncertain riches , but in the living God , who giveth us richly all things to enjoy ; 6 : 18 That they do good , that they be rich in good works , ready to distribute , willing to communicate ; 6 : 19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come , that they may lay hold on eternal life . |
6 : 20 O Timothy , keep that which is committed to thy trust , avoiding profane and vain babblings , and oppositions of science falsely so called : 6 : 21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith . Grace be with thee . Amen . |
### The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy |
1 : 1 Paul , an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God , according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus , 1 : 2 To Timothy , my dearly beloved son : Grace , mercy , and peace , from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord . |
1 : 3 I thank God , whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience , that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day ; 1 : 4 Greatly desiring to see thee , being mindful of thy tears , that I may be filled with joy ; 1 : 5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee , which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois , and thy mother Eunice ; and I am persuaded that in thee also . |
1 : 6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God , which is in thee by the putting on of my hands . |
1 : 7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear ; but of power , and of love , and of a sound mind . |
1 : 8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord , nor of me his prisoner : but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God ; 1 : 9 Who hath saved us , and called us with an holy calling , not according to our works , but according to his own purpose and grace , which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began , 1 : 10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ , who hath abolished death , and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel : 1 : 11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher , and an apostle , and a teacher of the Gentiles . |
1 : 12 For the which cause I also suffer these things : nevertheless I am not ashamed : for I know whom I have believed , and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day . |
1 : 13 Hold fast the form of sound words , which thou hast heard of me , in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus . |
1 : 14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us . |
1 : 15 This thou knowest , that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me ; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes . |
1 : 16 The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus ; for he oft refreshed me , and was not ashamed of my chain : 1 : 17 But , when he was in Rome , he sought me out very diligently , and found me . |
1 : 18 The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day : and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus , thou knowest very well . |
2 : 1 Thou therefore , my son , be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus . |
2 : 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses , the same commit thou to faithful men , who shall be able to teach others also . |
2 : 3 Thou therefore endure hardness , as a good soldier of Jesus Christ . |
2 : 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life ; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier . |
2 : 5 And if a man also strive for masteries , yet is he not crowned , except he strive lawfully . |
2 : 6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits . |
2 : 7 Consider what I say ; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things . |
2 : 8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel : 2 : 9 Wherein I suffer trouble , as an evil doer , even unto bonds ; but the word of God is not bound . |
2 : 10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect ’ s sakes , that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory . |
2 : 11 It is a faithful saying : For if we be dead with him , we shall also live with him : 2 : 12 If we suffer , we shall also reign with him : if we deny him , he also will deny us : 2 : 13 If we believe not , yet he abideth faithful : he cannot deny himself . |
2 : 14 Of these things put them in remembrance , charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit , but to the subverting of the hearers . |
2 : 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God , a workman that needeth not to be ashamed , rightly dividing the word of truth . |
2 : 16 But shun profane and vain babblings : for they will increase unto more ungodliness . |
2 : 17 And their word will eat as doth a canker : of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus ; 2 : 18 Who concerning the truth have erred , saying that the resurrection is past already ; and overthrow the faith of some . |
2 : 19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure , having this seal , The Lord knoweth them that are his . And , Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity . |
2 : 20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver , but also of wood and of earth ; and some to honour , and some to dishonour . |
2 : 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these , he shall be a vessel unto honour , sanctified , and meet for the master ’ s use , and prepared unto every good work . |
2 : 22 Flee also youthful lusts : but follow righteousness , faith , charity , peace , with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart . |
2 : 23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid , knowing that they do gender strifes . |
2 : 24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive ; but be gentle unto all men , apt to teach , patient , 2 : 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves ; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth ; 2 : 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil , who are taken captive by him at his will . |
3 : 1 This know also , that in the last days perilous times shall come . |
3 : 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves , covetous , boasters , proud , blasphemers , disobedient to parents , unthankful , unholy , 3 : 3 Without natural affection , trucebreakers , false accusers , incontinent , fierce , despisers of those that are good , 3 : 4 Traitors , heady , highminded , lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God ; 3 : 5 Having a form of godliness , but denying the power thereof : from such turn away . |
3 : 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses , and lead captive silly women laden with sins , led away with divers lusts , 3 : 7 Ever learning , and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth . |
3 : 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses , so do these also resist the truth : men of corrupt minds , reprobate concerning the faith . |
3 : 9 But they shall proceed no further : for their folly shall be manifest unto all men , as theirs also was . |
3 : 10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine , manner of life , purpose , faith , longsuffering , charity , patience , 3 : 11 Persecutions , afflictions , which came unto me at Antioch , at Iconium , at Lystra ; what persecutions I endured : but out of them all the Lord delivered me . |
3 : 12 Yea , and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution . |
3 : 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse , deceiving , and being deceived . |
3 : 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of , knowing of whom thou hast learned them ; 3 : 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures , which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus . |
3 : 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God , and is profitable for doctrine , for reproof , for correction , for instruction in righteousness : 3 : 17 That the man of God may be perfect , throughly furnished unto all good works . |
4 : 1 I charge thee therefore before God , and the Lord Jesus Christ , who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom ; |
4 : 2 Preach the word ; be instant in season , out of season ; reprove , rebuke , exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine . |
4 : 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine ; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers , having itching ears ; 4 : 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth , and shall be turned unto fables . |
4 : 5 But watch thou in all things , endure afflictions , do the work of an evangelist , make full proof of thy ministry . |
4 : 6 For I am now ready to be offered , and the time of my departure is at hand . |
4 : 7 I have fought a good fight , I have finished my course , I have kept the faith : 4 : 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness , which the Lord , the righteous judge , shall give me at that day : and not to me only , but unto all them also that love his appearing . |
4 : 9 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me : 4 : 10 For Demas hath forsaken me , having loved this present world , and is departed unto Thessalonica ; Crescens to Galatia , Titus unto Dalmatia . |
4 : 11 Only Luke is with me . Take Mark , and bring him with thee : for he is profitable to me for the ministry . |
4 : 12 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus . |
4 : 13 The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus , when thou comest , bring with thee , and the books , but especially the parchments . |
4 : 14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil : the Lord reward him according to his works : 4 : 15 Of whom be thou ware also ; for he hath greatly withstood our words . |
4 : 16 At my first answer no man stood with me , but all men forsook me : I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge . |
4 : 17 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me , and strengthened me ; that by me the preaching might be fully known , and that all the Gentiles might hear : and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion . |
4 : 18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work , and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom : to whom be glory for ever and ever . Amen . |
4 : 19 Salute Prisca and Aquila , and the household of Onesiphorus . |
4 : 20 Erastus abode at Corinth : but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick . |
4 : 21 Do thy diligence to come before winter . Eubulus greeteth thee , and Pudens , and Linus , and Claudia , and all the brethren . |
4 : 22 The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit . Grace be with you . Amen . |
### The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Titus |
1 : 1 Paul , a servant of God , and an apostle of Jesus Christ , according to the faith of God ’ s elect , and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness ; 1 : 2 In hope of eternal life , which God , that cannot lie , promised before the world began ; 1 : 3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching , which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour ; 1 : 4 To Titus , mine own son after the common faith : Grace , mercy , and peace , from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour . |
1 : 5 For this cause left I thee in Crete , that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting , and ordain elders in every city , as I had appointed thee : 1 : 6 If any be blameless , the husband of one wife , having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly . |
1 : 7 For a bishop must be blameless , as the steward of God ; not selfwilled , not soon angry , not given to wine , no striker , not given to filthy lucre ; 1 : 8 But a lover of hospitality , a lover of good men , sober , just , holy , temperate ; 1 : 9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught , that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers . |
1 : 10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers , specially they of the circumcision : 1 : 11 Whose mouths must be stopped , who subvert whole houses , teaching things which they ought not , for filthy lucre ’ s sake . |
1 : 12 One of themselves , even a prophet of their own , said , The Cretians are alway liars , evil beasts , slow bellies . |
1 : 13 This witness is true . Wherefore rebuke them sharply , that they may be sound in the faith ; 1 : 14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables , and commandments of men , that turn from the truth . |
1 : 15 Unto the pure all things are pure : but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure ; but even their mind and conscience is defiled . |
1 : 16 They profess that they know God ; but in works they deny him , being abominable , and disobedient , and unto every good work reprobate . |
2 : 1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine : 2 : 2 That the aged men be sober , grave , temperate , sound in faith , in charity , in patience . |
2 : 3 The aged women likewise , that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness , not false accusers , not given to much wine , teachers of good things ; 2 : 4 That they may teach the young women to be sober , to love their husbands , to love their children , 2 : 5 To be discreet , chaste , keepers at home , good , obedient to their own husbands , that the word of God be not blasphemed . |
2 : 6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded . |
2 : 7 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works : in doctrine shewing uncorruptness , gravity , sincerity , 2 : 8 Sound speech , that cannot be condemned ; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed , having no evil thing to say of you . |
2 : 9 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters , and to please them well in all things ; not answering again ; 2 : 10 Not purloining , but shewing all good fidelity ; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things . |
2 : 11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men , 2 : 12 Teaching us that , denying ungodliness and worldly lusts , we should live soberly , righteously , and godly , in this present world ; |
2 : 13 Looking for that blessed hope , and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ ; 2 : 14 Who gave himself for us , that he might redeem us from all iniquity , and purify unto himself a peculiar people , zealous of good works . |
2 : 15 These things speak , and exhort , and rebuke with all authority . Let no man despise thee . |
3 : 1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers , to obey magistrates , to be ready to every good work , 3 : 2 To speak evil of no man , to be no brawlers , but gentle , shewing all meekness unto all men . |
3 : 3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish , disobedient , deceived , serving divers lusts and pleasures , living in malice and envy , hateful , and hating one another . |
3 : 4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared , 3 : 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done , but according to his mercy he saved us , by the washing of regeneration , and renewing of the Holy Ghost ; 3 : 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour ; 3 : 7 That being justified by his grace , we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life . |
3 : 8 This is a faithful saying , and these things I will that thou affirm constantly , that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works . These things are good and profitable unto men . |
3 : 9 But avoid foolish questions , and genealogies , and contentions , and strivings about the law ; for they are unprofitable and vain . |
3 : 10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject ; 3 : 11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted , and sinneth , being condemned of himself . |
3 : 12 When I shall send Artemas unto thee , or Tychicus , be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis : for I have determined there to winter . |
3 : 13 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently , that nothing be wanting unto them . |
3 : 14 And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses , that they be not unfruitful . |
3 : 15 All that are with me salute thee . Greet them that love us in the faith . Grace be with you all . Amen . |
### The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Philemon |
1 : 1 Paul , a prisoner of Jesus Christ , and Timothy our brother , unto Philemon our dearly beloved , and fellowlabourer , 1 : 2 And to our beloved Apphia , and Archippus our fellowsoldier , and to the church in thy house : 1 : 3 Grace to you , and peace , from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ . |
1 : 4 I thank my God , making mention of thee always in my prayers , 1 : 5 Hearing of thy love and faith , which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus , and toward all saints ; 1 : 6 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus . |
