dies. (12)Now
such we command, and conjure, by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with
quietness they labour, and eat their own bread.

(13)But ye, brethren, be not weary of well doing. (14)And if any man
obey not our word by letter, mark that man, and maintain no society
with him, that he may be ashamed. (15)Yet regard him not as an enemy,
but admonish him as a brother. (16)And the Lord of peace himself give
you peace, by every means, in every situation.

The Lord be with you all.

(17)The salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is my sign in every
letter: so I write.

(18)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

THE FIRST EPISTLE OF THE APOSTLE PAUL TO TIMOTHY.

CHAP. I.

PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the order of God, our Saviour, and
Lord, Jesus Christ, who is our hope; (2)to Timothy, my genuine son in
faith: grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father, and Christ Jesus
our Lord.

(3)As I exhorted thee to abide at Ephesus when I went into Macedonia,
that thou mightest enjoin certain persons to introduce no different

give occasion to disputes rather than godly edification, which is by
faith; _so do_. (5)For the end of the commandment is love out of a

nor whereof they affirm. (8)But we know that the law is good if a man
use it according to its institution; (9)knowing this, that the law is
not made for the just man, but for the lawless and disorderly, for the
ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of
fathers and murderers of mothers, for men-slayers, (10)for
whoremongers, for sodomites, for stealers of men, for liars, for
perjured persons, and if there be any other thing which is contrary to
sound doctrine, (11)according to the glorious gospel of the blessed
God, with which I have been put in trust. (12)And I render thanks to
him who hath strengthened me, even to Christ Jesus our Lord, that he
hath counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; (13)who was
before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and insolently violent, But I
was admitted to mercy, for I did it ignorantly in unbelief; (14)but the
grace of our Lord
