Mr. Whiston's Primitive New Testament
1745 by William Whiston

1 Timothy Chapter 1

1Ti 1:1 PAUL an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Jesus Christ, who is our hope;
1Ti 1:2 Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: grace, mercy, peace from God the Father, and Jesus Christ our Lord.
1Ti 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,
1Ti 1:4 Neither to give heed to fables, and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying, which is in faith.
1Ti 1:5 Now the end of the commandment is charity, out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and faith unfeigned:
1Ti 1:6 From which some having swerved, have turned aside unto vain jangling;
1Ti 1:7 Desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
1Ti 1:8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
1Ti 1:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, and for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
1Ti 1:10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,
1Ti 1:11 Which is according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, that was committed to my trust.
1Ti 1:12 And I thank him who hath enabled me by Christ Jesus our Lord: for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
1Ti 1:13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecuter, and injurious. But I obtained mercy, for this cause, that I did it ignorantly, in unbelief:
1Ti 1:14 But the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith, and love which is in Christ Jesus.
1Ti 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
1Ti 1:16 Howbeit, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me Jesus Christ might shew forth all his long-suffering, for a pattern to them who should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
1Ti 1:17 Now unto the King of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory, for ever and ever. Amen,
1Ti 1:18 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare,
1Ti 1:19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away, concerning faith have made shipwreck.
1Ti 1:20 Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
