30 day study of the words of Paul ================================= Day 24 1TI 04:02 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 1TI 04:03 Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 1TI 04:04 For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 1TI 04:05 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 1TI 04:06 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. 1TI 04:07 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself [rather] unto godliness. 1TI 04:08 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 1TI 04:09 This [is] a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. 1TI 04:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. 1TI 04:11 These things command and teach. 1TI 04:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 1TI 04:13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 1TI 04:14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 1TI 04:15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 1TI 04:16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. 1TI 05:01 Rebuke not an elder, but entreat [him] as a father; [and] the younger men as brethren; 1TI 05:02 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity. 1TI 05:03 Honour widows that are widows indeed. 1TI 05:04 But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to show piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God. 1TI 05:05 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. 1TI 05:06 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. 1TI 05:07 And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless. 1TI 05:08 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. 1TI 05:09 Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man, 1TI 05:10 Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work. 1TI 05:11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry; 1TI 05:12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith. 1TI 05:13 And withal they learn [to be] idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. 1TI 05:14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. 1TI 05:15 For some are already turned aside after Satan. 1TI 05:16 If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed. 1TI 05:17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. 1TI 05:18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer [is] worthy of his reward. 1TI 05:19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. 1TI 05:20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1TI 05:21 I charge [thee] before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality. 1TI 05:22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure. 1TI 05:23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities. 1TI 05:24 Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some [men] they follow after. 1TI 05:25 Likewise also the good works [of some] are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid. 1TI 06:01 Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and [his] doctrine be not blasphemed. 1TI 06:02 And they that have believing masters, let them not despise [them], because they are brethren; but rather do [them] service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort. 1TI 06:03 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, [even] the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 1TI 06:04 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 1TI 06:05 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. 1TI 06:06 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 1TI 06:07 For we brought nothing into [this] world, [and it is] certain we can carry nothing out. 1TI 06:08 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 1TI 06:09 But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and [into] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 1TI 06:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 1TI 06:11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 1TI 06:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 1TI 06:13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and [before] Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; 1TI 06:14 That thou keep [this] commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 1TI 06:15 Which in his times he shall show, [who is] the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 1TI 06:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom [be] honour and power everlasting. Amen. 1TI 06:17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 1TI 06:18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 1TI 06:19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. 1TI 06:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane [and] vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 1TI 06:21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace [be] with thee. Amen. 2TI 01:01 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, 2TI 01:02 To Timothy, [my] dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. 2TI 01:03 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; 2TI 01:04 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy; 2TI 01:05 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. 2TI 01:06 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. 2TI 01:07 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2TI 01:08 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; 2TI 01:09 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, 2TI 01:10 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: 2TI 01:11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. 2TI 01:12 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. 2TI 01:13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 2TI 01:14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us. 2TI 01:15 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes. 2TI 01:16 The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain: ~~~~~~
