To Ti-mo''the-us, a true son in the faith: Grace, mercy and peace from God, our Father, and Christ Jesus our LORD.

And not to give heed to fables and stories of endless genealogies, which cause dispute, rather than build up the faith of God.

Now the fulfillment of the commandment is love out of a pure heart and of a good conscience and of a true faith:

Now the grace of our LORD has become abundant in me, as well as my faith and love in Jesus Christ.

For the love of money is the root of all evil: and there are some men who have coveted it and have thereby erred from the faith, they have brought to themselves many sorrows.

But you, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, piety, faith, love, patience, and meekness.

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life to which you are called, having professed a true profession before many witnesses.

For those professing this, have strayed from the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.
