1 Timothy 1:2

Now Paul also arrived at Derbe and at Lystra. And behold, a disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek,

For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, and who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, just as I teach everywhere in every church.

This command I entrust to you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may fight the good fight,

O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, turning aside from godless and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called knowledge—

To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance.

All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.

Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my children are walking in the truth.

May mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.
