## 1 Timothy 1:11-17 in Context (Verses 8–20 KJV)
 
 [8 ](/kjv/1-timothy/1/8) But we know that the law *is* good, if a man use it lawfully;
 
 [9 ](/kjv/1-timothy/1/9) Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
 
 [10 ](/kjv/1-timothy/1/10) For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
 
 [11 ](/kjv/1-timothy/1/11) According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/1-timothy/1/12) And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
 
 [13 ](/kjv/1-timothy/1/13) Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did *it* ignorantly in unbelief.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/1-timothy/1/14) And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/1-timothy/1/15) This *is* a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/1-timothy/1/16) Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/1-timothy/1/17) Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, *be* honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/1-timothy/1/18) This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;
 
 [19 ](/kjv/1-timothy/1/19) Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
 
 [20 ](/kjv/1-timothy/1/20) Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
 
[2 Thessalonians 3](/kjv/2-thessalonians/3) [1 Timothy 2](/kjv/1-timothy/2)
