¹ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and of Christ Jesus, who is our hope,	1 Co2 1:1 Ti1 1:12 Tit 1:3 Tit 1:3 Ti1 1:12 Col 1:27

³ As I urged you^a Lit while going toupon my departure for Macedonia,^b Lit to remainremain on at Ephesus so that you may instruct certain men not to teach strange doctrines, ⁴ nor to^c Or occupy themselves withpay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to mere speculation rather than furthering^d Lit God’s provisionthe administration of God which is by faith. ⁵ But the goal of our^e Lit commandmentinstruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. ⁶ For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion, ⁷ wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions.	3 Rom 15:26 Act 18:19 Rom 16:17 Co2 11:4 Gal 1:6 Ti1 6:3 4 Ti1 4:7 Ti2 4:4 Tit 1:14 Pe2 1:16 Tit 3:9 Ti2 2:23 Eph 3:2 5 Ti1 1:18 Ti2 2:22 Ti1 1:19 Ti1 3:9 Ti2 1:3 Pe1 3:16 Pe1 3:21 Ti2 1:5 6 Tit 1:10 7 Jam 3:1 Luk 2:46
⁸ But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, ⁹ realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers ¹⁰ ^f Lit forand^g Or fornicatorsimmoral men^h Lit forand homosexualsⁱ Lit forand kidnappers^j Lit forand liars^k Lit forand perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, ¹¹ according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.	8 Rom 7:12 Rom 7:16 9 Gal 5:23 Tit 1:6 Tit 1:10 Pe1 4:18 Jud 1:15 Ti1 4:7 Ti1 6:20 Heb 12:16 10 Co1 6:9 Lev 18:22 Exo 21:16 Rev 18:13 Rev 21:8 Rev 21:27 Rev 22:15 Mat 5:33 Ti1 4:6 Ti1 6:3 Ti2 4:3 Tit 1:9 Tit 1:13 Tit 2:1 Tit 2:2 11 Co2 4:4 Ti1 6:15 Gal 2:7
¹² I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service, ¹³ even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief; ¹⁴ and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus. ¹⁵ It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all. ¹⁶ Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those^l Or destined towho would believe in Him for eternal life. ¹⁷ Now to the King^m Lit of the ageseternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and gloryⁿ Lit to the ages of the agesforever and ever. Amen.	12 Gal 3:26 Act 9:22 Php 4:13 Ti2 4:17 Act 9:15 13 Act 8:3 Co1 7:25 Act 26:9 14 Rom 5:20 Co1 3:10 Co2 4:15 Gal 1:13-16 Th1 1:3 Ti1 2:15 Ti1 4:12 Ti1 6:11 Ti2 1:13 Ti2 2:22 Tit 2:2 15 Ti1 3:1 Ti1 4:9 Ti2 2:11 Tit 3:8 Mar 2:17 Luk 15:2 Luk 19:10 Rom 11:14 Co1 15:9 Eph 3:8 16 Co1 7:25 Ti1 1:13 Eph 2:7 17 Rev 15:3 Ti1 6:16 Col 1:15 Joh 5:44 Ti1 6:15 Jud 1:25 Rom 2:7 Rom 2:10 Rom 11:36 Heb 2:7
