1 Timothy 1

 1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;

 2 Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy,and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

 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,

 4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

 5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

 6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;

 7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

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

 9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for man-slayers,

 10 For whore-mongers, 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;

 11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

 12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

 13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

 14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

 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.

 16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.

 17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

 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;

 19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:

 20 Of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

Hebrews 13

 
1 Let brotherly love continue.

 2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

 3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

 4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

 5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

 6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

 7 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.

 8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

 9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

 10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.

 11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.

 12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

 13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

 14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

 15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

 16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

 17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

 18 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.

 19 But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

 20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

 21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

 22 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.

 23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

 24 Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.

 25 Grace be with you all. Amen.
