Misleadings in Doctrine and Living

1 Paul, 1an apostle of 2Christ Jesus 3according to the commandment of 4God our Savior, and of 5Christ Jesus, who is our 6hope,
2 To 7Timothy, 8my true child in the faith: 9Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and 10Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 As I urged you [a]upon my departure for 11Macedonia, [b]remain on at 12Ephesus so that you may instruct certain men not to 13teach strange doctrines,
4 nor to [c]pay attention to 14myths and endless 15genealogies, which give rise to mere 16speculation rather than 17furthering [d]the administration of God which is by faith.
5 But the goal of our [e]18instruction is love 19from a pure heart and a 20good conscience and a sincere 21faith.
6 For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to 22fruitless discussion,
7 23wanting to be 24teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions.
8 But we know that 25the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully,
9 realizing the fact that 26law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and 27rebellious, for the 28ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and 29profane, for those who kill * their fathers or mothers, for murderers
10 [f]and [g]30immoral men [h]and 31homosexuals [i]and 32kidnappers [j]and 33liars [k]and 34perjurers, and whatever * else is contrary to 35sound teaching,
11 according to 36the glorious gospel of 37the blessed God, with which I have been 38entrusted.
12 I thank 39Christ Jesus our Lord, who has 40strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, 41putting me into service,
13 even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a 42persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was 43shown mercy because 44I acted ignorantly in unbelief;
14 and the 45grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the 46faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus.
15 47It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that 48Christ Jesus came into the world to 49save sinners, among whom 50I am foremost of all.
16 Yet for this reason I 51found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might 52demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those [l]who would believe in Him for eternal life.
17 Now to the 53King [m]eternal, 54immortal, 55invisible, the 56only God, 57be honor and glory [n]forever and ever. Amen.
18 This 58command I entrust to you, Timothy, 59my [o]son, in accordance with the 60prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you 61fight the good fight,
19 keeping 62faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to [p]63their faith.
20 [q]Among these are 64Hymenaeus and 65Alexander, whom I have 66handed over to Satan, so that they will be 67taught not to blaspheme.
