¹ Paul an Apostle of Iesus Christ by the commaundement of God our Sauiour, & Lord Iesus Christ which is our hope,

² Unto Timothie my own sonne in the Faith: Grace, mercie, and peace from God our Father, and Iesus 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 giue heed to fables, and endlesse genealogies, which minister questions, rather then edifying which is in faith: so doe.

⁵ Now the end of the commandement is charity, out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith vnfained.

⁶ From which some hauing swarued, haue turned aside vnto vaine iangling,

⁷ Desiring to bee teachers of the Law, vnderstāding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirme.

⁸ But we know that the Law is good, if a man vse it lawfully.

⁹ Knowing this, that the Law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawlesse and disobedient, for the vngodly, and for sinners, for vnholy, and profane, for murderers of fathers, and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

¹⁰ For whoremongers, for them that defile themselues with mankinde, for men-stealers, for liars, for periured 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 thanke Christ Iesus our Lord, who hath enabled mee: for that he counted me faithfull, putting me into the Ministerie,

¹³ Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecuter, and iniurious. But I obtained mercie, because I did it ignorantly, in vnbeliefe.

¹⁴ And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant, with faith, & loue, which is in Christ Iesus.

¹⁵ This is a faithfull saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Iesus came into the world to saue sinners, of whom I am chiefe.

¹⁶ Howbeit, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Iesus Christ might shew foorth all long suffering, for a paterne to them which should hereafter beleeue on him to life euerlasting.

¹⁷ Now vnto þ^e king eternal, immortall, inuisible, the onely wise God, be honour and glory for euer & euer. Amen.

¹⁸ This charge I commit vnto thee, sonne Timothie, according to the prophesies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest warre a good warfare,

¹⁹ Holding faith, and a good conscience, which some hauing put away, concerning faith, haue made shipwracke.

²⁰ Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander, whome I haue deliuered vnto Satan, that they may learne not to blaspheme.

Timothy Wayne George's 1 Timothy Chapter 1 comment on 2/20/2012, 4:38pm...

Paul is seeking to encourage his spiritual son in the ministry Timothy about some of the trials that he will encounter in the ministry. Jesus is the fulfillment of the law, and is our only hope for salvation. Paul describes himself as the chief of sinners, and that he obtained mercy because he persecuted the church before in unbelief. Paul wants Timothy to know that because the Lord saved him there would be no one beyond the reach of the grace of God. We are the workmanship of Christ Jesus, and are created to do good works. Yet we are saved by grace through faith, and is a gift not of good works less any man should boast. So since all have sinned, and fallen short of the glory of God we can only be saved by our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Luke 15:32..32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”

"He was a brother, then died ( spitually )because of his sin, then came back, was restored and now is alive again...Here's the big ?, what if he had've died before he saw his error..Well now, to HELL he would go, because he was dead....

Ben weaver's 1 Timothy Chapter 1 comment on 12/22/2010, 6:15pm...

A few thoughts that may help to reconcile being "saved by grace through faith" and having to first do the will of God (Matt. 7:21). There are different kinds of works. In Jn. 6:29, Jesus said, "This is the work of God that you believe on him whom he has sent". Romans 10:5-6, portray the law of merrit works and then the word of faith. It seems that all the free benefits through Jesus require an active receiving. Even Jn. 3:16 stipulates "that whoever believes in Him". Eph. 6:11 tells us to "PUT ON the whole armor". Only we can apply to our lives the benefits that only Jesus could make available to us. Also, you will find legalistic teaching before the cross since Jesus was talking to people still under the law of Moses. Heb. 9:15-17 says the new testament only started after Jesus died for us. The law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death (Rom.8:2).

Anonymous's 1 Timothy Chapter 1 comment on 12/21/2010, 11:34pm...

I Tim. 1:8 & 9 is literally speaking. Faith to the Lord Jesus Christ is not suited to use these two verses. It is clearly stated that the law is not made for a righteous man. So, the law was made for the lawless, for ungodly and for sinners. Then, if you are saved through our faith in Jesus Christ reconcile Matthew 7:21 - that said "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven". This verse mean you have to work.

Thelma's 1 Timothy Chapter 1 comment on 12/13/2010, 11:35pm...

Verse 19 and 20
the bible teaches us to always have and hold on to our faith and good concious in life the are times that we are seriously chalenged as children of God so we need not to loose our faith but to hold on to it always and our concious must remain clean.
