2 to Timothy, true son by faith: Grace, mercy, peace from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3 You recall that I urged you to remain in Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, in order that you should command certain persons to stop teaching a different doctrine

4 and occupying themselves with myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than the godly training which is by faith.

5 Now the goal of that command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith;

8 Now we know that the law is good if one uses it correctly,

9 knowing that law is not made for a righteous person but for lawless and rebellious ones, for ungodly and sinners, for unholy and profane, for father-smiters and mother-smiters, for murderers,

11 as defined by the Gospel of the glory of the blessed God, with which I was entrusted.

12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who enables me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into a ministry;

13 I, who was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and arrogant; but I was shown mercy, because being ignorant I did it in unbelief;

14 the grace of our Lord overflowed, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

15 Here is a trustworthy word, worthy of total acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am chief;

16 precisely for this reason I was shown mercy, that in me, the ‘chief’, Jesus Christ might display all his forbearance, as an example for those who are going to rely on Him into eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
