1 Timothy 1 (ASV Interlinear Bible)

1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and Christ Jesus our hope;

2unto Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3As I exhorted thee to tarry at Ephesus, when I was going into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge certain men not to teach a different doctrine,

4neither to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questionings, rather than a

dispensation of God which is in faith; so do I now.

5But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned:

6from which things some having

7desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor whereof they confidently affirm.

8But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully,

9as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for

enabled me, even Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he counted me faithful, appointing me to his service;

13though I was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: howbeit I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief;

14and the grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

15Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief:

16howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me as chief might Jesus Christ show forth all his longsuffering, for an ensample of them that should thereafter believe on him unto eternal life.

18This charge I commit unto thee, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to thee, that by them thou mayest war the good warfare;

19holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust from them made shipwreck concerning the faith:

20of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I delivered unto Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
