2nd Thessalonians Chapter 3
3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you,
3:2 and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith.
3:3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.
3:4 And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, both that you do and will do the things we command you.
3:5 Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.
3:6 But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us.
3:7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us, for we were not disorderly among you;
3:8 nor did we eat anyone’s bread free of charge, but worked with labor and toil night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you,
3:9 not because we do not have authority, but to make ourselves an example of how you should follow us.
3:10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.
3:11 For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies.
3:12 Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread.
3:13 But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good.
3:14 And if anyone does not obey our word in this epistle, note that person and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed.
3:15 Yet do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
3:16 Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all.
3:17 The salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is a sign in every epistle; so I write.
3:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

1st Timothy Chapter 1
1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ, our hope,
1:2 To Timothy, a true son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
1:3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia-remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
1:4 nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith.
1:5 Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith,
1:6 from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk,
1:7 desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.
1:8 But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully,
1:9 knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
1:10 for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,
1:11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.
1:12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry,
1:13 although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
1:14 And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.
1:15 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
1:16 However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life.
1:17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
1:18 This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare,
1:19 having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck,
1:20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.

1st Timothy Chapter 2
2:1 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,
2:2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.
2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
2:4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
2:5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,
2:6 who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time,
2:7 for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle-I am speaking the truth in Christ and not lying-a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
2:8 I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting;
2:9 in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing,
2:10 but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works.
2:11 Let a woman learn in silence with all submission.
2:12 And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.
2:13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
2:15 Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.

1st Timothy Chapter 3
3:1 This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work.
3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach;
3:3 not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;
3:4 one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence
3:5 (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?);
3:6 not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.
3:7 Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
3:8 Likewise deacons must be reverent, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for money,
3:9 holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience.
3:10 But let these also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, being found blameless.
3:11 Likewise their wives must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.
3:12 Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
3:13 For those who have served well as deacons obtain for themselves a good standing and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
3:14 These things I write to you, though I hope to come to you shortly;
3:15 but if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.
