1 Tim 1:12 ¶ I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service,
1 Tim 1:13 even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief;
1 Tim 1:14 and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus.
1 Tim 1:15 It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all.
1 Tim 1:16 Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life.
1 Tim 1:17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
1 Tim 1:18 ¶ This command I entrust to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you fight the good fight,
1 Tim 1:19 keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith.
1 Tim 1:20 Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan, so that they will be taught not to blaspheme.
1 Tim 2:1 First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men,
1 Tim 2:2 for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
1 Tim 2:3 This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
1 Tim 2:4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
1 Tim 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
1 Tim 2:6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time.
1 Tim 2:7 For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
1 Tim 2:8 ¶ Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension.
1 Tim 2:9 Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments,
1 Tim 2:10 but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness.
1 Tim 2:12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.
