and if any widow have children or grandchildren, let them learn first to their own house to show piety, and to give back a recompense to the parents, for this is right and acceptable before God.

And she who is really a widow and desolate, hath hoped upon God, and doth remain in the supplications and in the prayers night and day,

I testify fully, before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the choice messengers, that these things thou mayest keep, without forejudging, doing nothing by partiality.

As many as are servants under a yoke, their own masters worthy of all honour let them reckon, that the name of God and the teaching may not be evil spoken of;

and thou, O man of God, these things flee, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, meekness;

I charge thee, before God, who is making all things alive, and of Christ Jesus, who did testify before Pontius Pilate the right profession,

Those rich in the present age charge thou not to be high-minded, nor to hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, who is giving to us all things richly for enjoyment; --

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, according to a promise of life that [is] in Christ Jesus,

to Timotheus, beloved child: Grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord!

I am thankful to God, whom I serve from progenitors in a pure conscience, that unceasingly I have remembrance concerning thee in my supplications night and day,

For which cause I remind thee to stir up the gift of God that is in thee through the putting on of my hands,

for God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind;

therefore thou mayest not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but do thou suffer evil along with the good news according to the power of God,

in which I suffer evil -- unto bonds, as an evil-doer, but the word of God hath not been bound;

be diligent to present thyself approved to God -- a workman irreproachable, rightly dividing the word of the truth;

sure, nevertheless, hath the foundation of God stood, having this seal, `The Lord hath known those who are His,' and `Let him depart from unrighteousness -- every one who is naming the name of Christ.'

in meekness instructing those opposing -- if perhaps God may give to them repentance to an acknowledging of the truth,

traitors, heady, lofty, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God,

every Writing [is] God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that [is] in righteousness,

that the man of God may be fitted -- for every good work having been completed.
