If you want to accept God's
offer in his Son, say a prayer like this:
Jesus, I confess that you are not only the
most important person in history, but you are the Creator and Savior of the
world. Lord Jesus, I need you. I have done wrong. Please forgive me of my sins
and come into my life. I ask you not just to be part of my life, but to guide me
to live according to the words I read in the Bible. Thank you for your mercy and
forgiveness. I am now committed to be your follower.
Amen.

Chapter 1
001:001 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will
of God, according
to the promise
of life which is in Christ Jesus,
001:002 To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy,
and peace,
from God the Father and
Christ Jesus our Lord.
001:003 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers
with pure
conscience, that without
ceasing I have remembrance of thee
in
my prayers night and day;
001:004 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of
thy tears, that
I may be filled
with joy;
001:005 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith
that is in
thee, which dwelt first
in thy grandmother Lois, and thy
mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.
001:006 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou
stir up the gift
of God, which is
in thee by the putting on of my hands.
001:007 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear;
but of power,
and of love, and of
a sound mind.
001:008 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony
of our Lord,
nor of me his
prisoner: but be thou partaker of
the
afflictions of the gospel
according to the power of God;
001:009 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy
calling, not
according to our
works, but according to his own purpose
and
grace, which was given us in
Christ Jesus before the world
began,
001:010 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our
Saviour Jesus
Christ, who hath
abolished death, and hath brought life
and
immortality to light through
the gospel:
001:011 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an
apostle, and a
teacher of the
Gentiles.
001:012 For the which cause I also suffer these things:
nevertheless I
am not ashamed: for
I know whom I have believed, and
am
persuaded that he is able to
keep that which I have committed
unto him against that day.
001:013 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou
hast heard of
me, in faith and
love which is in Christ Jesus.
001:014 That good thing which was committed unto thee
keep by the Holy
Ghost which
dwelleth in us.
001:015 This thou knowest, that all they which are in
Asia be turned
away from me; of
whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
001:016 The Lord give mercy unto the house of
Onesiphorus; for he oft
refreshed
me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
001:017 But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very
diligently,
and found me.
001:018 The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy
of the Lord in
that day: and in
how many things he ministered unto me
at
Ephesus, thou knowest very
well.
002:001 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace
that is in
Christ Jesus.
002:002 And the things that thou hast heard of me among
many
witnesses, the same commit
thou to faithful men, who shall be
able to teach others also.
002:003 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good
soldier of Jesus
Christ.
002:004 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the
affairs of
this life; that he may
please him who hath chosen him to be
a
soldier.
002:005 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is
he not crowned,
except he strive
lawfully.
002:006 The husbandman that laboureth must be first
partaker of the
fruits.
002:007 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee
understanding in
all things.
002:008 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David
was raised
from the dead according
to my gospel:
002:009 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even
unto bonds;
but the word of God is
not bound.
002:010 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's
sakes, that they
may also obtain
the salvation which is in Christ Jesus
with
eternal glory.
002:011 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with
him, we shall
also live with
him:
002:012 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if
we deny him, he
also will deny
us:
002:013 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he
cannot deny
himself.
002:014 Of these things put them in remembrance,
charging them before
the Lord that
they strive not about words to no profit, but
to
the subverting of the
hearers.
002:015 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a
workman that
needeth not to be
ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
002:016 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they
will increase
unto more
ungodliness.
002:017 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of
whom is Hymenaeus
and
Philetus;
002:018 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that
the
resurrection is past already;
and overthrow the faith of some.
002:019 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth
sure, having this
seal, The Lord
knoweth them that are his. And, Let every
one
that nameth the name of Christ
depart from iniquity.
002:020 But in a great house there are not only vessels
of gold and of
silver, but also of
wood and of earth; and some to honour,
and
some to dishonour.
002:021 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he
shall be a
vessel unto honour,
sanctified, and meet for the master's
use,
and prepared unto every good
work.
002:022 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow
righteousness, faith,
charity,
peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a
pure
heart.
002:023 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid,
knowing that they
do gender
strifes.
002:024 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but
be gentle
unto all men, apt to
teach, patient,
002:025 In meekness instructing those that oppose
themselves; if God
peradventure
will give them repentance to the acknowledging
of
the truth;
002:026 And that they may recover themselves out of the
snare of the
devil, who are taken
captive by him at his will.
003:001 This know also, that in the last days perilous
times shall
come.
003:002 For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous,
boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to
parents,
unthankful, unholy,
003:003 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false
accusers,
incontinent, fierce,
despisers of those that are good,
003:004 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures
more than
lovers of God;
003:005 Having a form of godliness, but denying the
power thereof:
from such turn
away.
003:006 For of this sort are they which creep into
houses, and lead
captive silly
women laden with sins, led away with
divers
lusts,
003:007 Ever learning, and never able to come to the
knowledge of the
truth.
003:008 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do
these also
resist the truth: men
of corrupt minds, reprobate
concerning
the faith.
003:009 But they shall proceed no further: for their
folly shall be
manifest unto all
men, as their's also was.
003:010 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of
life,
purpose, faith,
longsuffering, charity, patience,
003:011 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at
Antioch, at
Iconium, at Lystra;
what persecutions I endured: but out
of
them all the Lord delivered
me.
003:012 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ
Jesus shall suffer
persecution.
003:013 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and
worse,
deceiving, and being
deceived.
003:014 But continue thou in the things which thou hast
learned and
hast been assured of,
knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
003:015 And that from a child thou hast known the holy
scriptures,
which are able to make
thee wise unto salvation through
faith
which is in Christ
Jesus.
003:016 All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is
profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness:
003:017 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly
furnished unto
all good works.
004:001 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord
Jesus Christ,
who shall judge the
quick and the dead at his appearing
and
his kingdom;
004:002 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of
season; reprove,
rebuke, exhort
with all longsuffering and doctrine.
004:003 For the time will come when they will not endure
sound
doctrine; but after their
own lusts shall they heap to
themselves teachers, having itching ears;
004:004 And they shall turn away their ears from the
truth, and shall
be turned unto
fables.
004:005 But watch thou in all things, endure
afflictions, do the work
of an
evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
004:006 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time
of my departure
is at hand.
004:007 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my
course, I have
kept the faith:
004:008 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of
righteousness,
which the Lord, the
righteous judge, shall give me at
that
day: and not to me only, but
unto all them also that love his
appearing.
004:009 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:
004:010 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this
present world,
and is departed
unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia,
Titus
unto Dalmatia.
004:011 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him
with thee: for
he is profitable to
me for the ministry.
004:012 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.
004:013 The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when
thou comest,
bring with thee, and
the books, but especially the parchments.
004:014 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the
Lord reward
him according to his
works:
004:015 Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly
withstood our
words.
004:016 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all
men forsook
me: I pray God that it
may not be laid to their charge.
004:017 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and
strengthened me;
that by me the
preaching might be fully known, and that
all
the Gentiles might hear: and I
was delivered out of the mouth
of
the lion.
004:018 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil
work, and will
preserve me unto
his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory
for
ever and ever. Amen.
004:019 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
004:020 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I
left at Miletum
sick.
004:021 Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus
greeteth thee,
and Pudens, and
Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
004:022 The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace
be with you.
Amen.
