Hi, and welcome
to His Words Are Life
00:00:17.15\00:00:19.40
I'm Kelly Mowrer
and we're reading today
00:00:19.43\00:00:21.69
from the first book of Timothy
in the King James version,
00:00:21.72\00:00:25.74
But before we
begin, Let's pray together.
00:00:25.77\00:00:28.30
Dear Jesus, thank you so
much for sending this particular
00:00:28.33\00:00:34.20
council to us about how
you would have us to serve you
00:00:34.23\00:00:38.38
and to serve your
church, and to server the world,
00:00:38.41\00:00:40.93
the kind of people that we
should be to bring glory to your
00:00:40.96\00:00:44.55
name and as we read
this, there's no way
00:00:44.58\00:00:47.47
we can understand it or put
it into practice unless you come
00:00:47.50\00:00:52.09
into our very hearts and plant
these words there to bear fruit
00:00:52.12\00:00:56.32
and we just ask you to be with
us now. Send the Holy Spirit
00:00:56.35\00:00:59.70
to guide our minds that we will
not just hear it but we will
00:00:59.73\00:01:02.33
understand it. And then
give us the faith and the grace
00:01:02.36\00:01:06.20
to make character by
your mercy that we may do this
00:01:06.23\00:01:10.00
for you. We love
you so much, Jesus. Amen
00:01:10.03\00:01:12.64
Again we're reading from
the first book of Timothy,
00:01:12.67\00:01:17.01
in the King James
version. This is chapter three,
00:01:17.04\00:01:19.24
beginning with verse 8.
Likewise must the deacons
00:01:19.27\00:01:24.37
be grave, not double-tongued,
not given to much wine,
00:01:24.40\00:01:28.97
not greedy of filthy lucre;
Holding the mystery of the faith
00:01:29.00\00:01:33.46
in a pure conscience. And
let these also first be proved;
00:01:33.49\00:01:37.89
then let them use the office of
a deacon, being found blameless.
00:01:37.92\00:01:42.38
Even so must their wives, be
grave, not slanderers, sober,
00:01:42.41\00:01:48.79
faithful in all things. Let
the deacons be the husbands of
00:01:48.82\00:01:53.24
one wife, ruling their children
and their own houses well.
00:01:53.27\00:01:56.96
For they that have used
the office of a deacon well,
00:01:56.99\00:02:00.42
purchase to themselves a
good degree, and great boldness
00:02:00.45\00:02:04.46
in the faith which
is in Christ Jesus.
00:02:04.49\00:02:07.87
These things write I unto thee,
hoping to come unto thee shortly
00:02:07.90\00:02:11.08
but if I tarry long, that thou
mayest know how thou oughtest
00:02:11.11\00:02:16.07
to behave thyself in the house
of God, which is the church
00:02:16.10\00:02:19.73
of the living God, the
pillar and ground of the truth.
00:02:19.76\00:02:23.28
And without controversy, great
is the mystery of godliness:
00:02:23.31\00:02:27.97
God was manifest in the
flesh, justified in the Spirit,
00:02:28.00\00:02:32.51
seen of angels,
preached unto the Gentiles,
00:02:32.54\00:02:36.51
believed on in the
world, received up into glory.
00:02:36.54\00:02:40.62
We're reading now chapter 4
in the first book of Timothy,
00:02:40.65\00:02:44.40
the King James
version. Now the Spirit speaketh
00:02:44.43\00:02:48.64
expressly, that in the
latter times some shall depart
00:02:48.67\00:02:52.29
from the faith, giving heed to
seducing spirits, and doctrines
00:02:52.32\00:02:56.96
of devils;
speaking lies in hypocrisy;
00:02:56.99\00:03:00.48
having their conscience
seared with a hot iron;
00:03:00.51\00:03:04.10
Forbidding to marry,
and commanding to abstain
00:03:04.13\00:03:07.50
from meats, which God
hath created to be received
00:03:07.53\00:03:10.40
with thanksgiving of them which
believe and know the truth,
00:03:10.43\00:03:13.05
For every creature of God is
good, and nothing to be refused,
00:03:13.08\00:03:17.53
if it be received
with thanksgiving:
00:03:17.56\00:03:19.71
For it is sanctified by
the word of God and prayer.
00:03:19.74\00:03:23.69
If thou put the brethren in
remembrance of these things,
00:03:23.72\00:03:27.76
thou shall be a good minister
of Jesus Christ, nourished up
00:03:27.79\00:03:31.35
in the words of
faith and of good doctrine
00:03:31.38\00:03:33.71
whereunto thou hast attained.
But refuse profane and old wives
00:03:33.74\00:03:39.70
fables, and exercise
thyself rather unto godliness.
00:03:39.73\00:03:44.17
For bodily
exercise profiteth little:
00:03:44.20\00:03:47.50
but godliness is
profitable unto all things,
00:03:47.53\00:03:51.29
having promise of
the life that now is,
00:03:51.32\00:03:54.35
and of that which is to come.
this is a faithful saying and
00:03:54.38\00:03:58.57
worthy of all acceptation.
For therefore we both labour
00:03:58.60\00:04:02.96
and suffer reproach, because
we trust in the living God,
00:04:02.99\00:04:06.75
who is the Saviour of all men,
specially of those that believe.
00:04:06.78\00:04:10.91
These things command and teach.
Let no man despise thy youth;
00:04:10.94\00:04:17.62
but be thou an example
of the believers, in word,
00:04:17.65\00:04:22.27
in conversation, in charity,
in spirit, in faith, in purity.
00:04:22.30\00:04:28.53
till I come, give attendance
to reading, to exhortation,
00:04:28.56\00:04:33.82
to doctrine. Neglect not
the gift that is in thee,
00:04:33.85\00:04:37.56
which was given thee by prophecy
with the laying on of the hands
00:04:37.59\00:04:40.97
of the presbytery.
Meditate upon these things;
00:04:41.00\00:04:44.65
give thyself wholly to them;
that thy profiting may appear
00:04:44.68\00:04:49.44
to all. Take heed unto
thyself, and unto the doctrine;
00:04:49.47\00:04:53.52
continue in them: for in
doing this thou shalt both save
00:04:53.55\00:04:58.25
thyself and them that hear
thee. - Continuing in I Timothy,
00:04:58.28\00:05:03.25
chapter 5. - Rebuke not an elder
but entreat him as a father;
00:05:03.28\00:05:09.98
and the younger men as brethren;
The elder women as mothers;
00:05:10.01\00:05:14.39
the younger as
sisters, with all purity.
00:05:14.42\00:05:17.80
Honor widows that are widows
indeed. But if any widow have
00:05:17.83\00:05:22.01
children or nephews, let
them learn first to shew piety
00:05:22.04\00:05:25.60
at home, and to requite their
parents: for that is good and
00:05:25.63\00:05:29.28
acceptable before God. Now
she that is a widow indeed,
00:05:29.31\00:05:33.69
and desolate, trusteth in God,
and continueth in supplications
00:05:33.72\00:05:38.77
and prayers night an day.
But she that liveth in pleasure
00:05:38.80\00:05:42.89
is dead while she liveth.
And these things give in charge,
00:05:42.92\00:05:45.99
that they may be blameless. But
if any provide not for his own
00:05:46.02\00:05:50.42
especially for those of his own
house, he hath denied the faith,
00:05:50.45\00:05:54.94
and is worse than an infidel.
Let not a widow be taken into
00:05:54.97\00:06:01.15
the number under threescore
years old, having been the wife
00:06:01.18\00:06:04.28
of one man, well reported of for
good works; if she have brought
00:06:04.31\00:06:09.09
up children, if she
have lodged strangers,
00:06:09.12\00:06:11.93
if she have washed the saints'
feet, if she have relieved
00:06:11.96\00:06:15.40
the afflicted, if she
have diligently followed every
00:06:15.43\00:06:19.34
good work. But the
younger widows refuse;
00:06:19.37\00:06:22.41
for when they have begun
to wax wanton against Christ,
00:06:22.44\00:06:26.36
they will marry;
having damnation, because
00:06:26.39\00:06:29.64
they have cast off their first
faith. And withal they learn
00:06:29.67\00:06:32.71
to be idle, wandering
about from house to house;
00:06:32.74\00:06:36.44
and not only idle, but
tattlers also and busybodies,
00:06:36.47\00:06:40.52
speaking things
which they ought not.
00:06:40.55\00:06:43.11
I will, therefore, that
the younger women marry,
00:06:43.14\00:06:46.53
bear children, guide the
house, give none occasion
00:06:46.56\00:06:50.42
to the adversary to
speak reproachfully.
00:06:50.45\00:06:52.96
For some are already
turned aside after Satan.
00:06:52.99\00:06:56.74
If any man or woman
that believeth have widows,
00:06:56.77\00:07:00.68
let them relieve them, and
let not the church be charged;
00:07:00.71\00:07:04.86
that it may relieve
them that are widows indeed.
00:07:04.89\00:07:07.56
Let the elders that rule
well be counted worthy of double
00:07:07.59\00:07:12.00
honour, especially they who
labour in the word and doctrine.
00:07:12.03\00:07:16.51
For the scripture saith,
Thou shalt not muzzle the ox
00:07:16.54\00:07:20.70
that treadeth out the corn.
And, The labourer is worthy
00:07:20.73\00:07:24.99
of his reward. Against an
elder receive not an accusation,
00:07:25.02\00:07:29.87
but before two
or three witnesses.
00:07:29.90\00:07:32.07
Them that sin rebuke before
all, that others also may fear.
00:07:32.10\00:07:37.97
I charge thee before God,
and the Lord Jesus Christ,
00:07:38.00\00:07:41.81
and the elect angels, that thou
observe these things without
00:07:41.84\00:07:45.77
preferring one before another,
doing nothing by partiality.
00:07:45.80\00:07:49.50
Lay hands suddenly on
no man, neither be partaker
00:07:49.53\00:07:53.80
of other men's
sins: keep thyself pure.
00:07:53.83\00:07:56.55
Drink no longer
water, but use a little wine
00:07:56.58\00:08:00.77
for thy stomach's sake
and thine often infirmities.
00:08:00.80\00:08:03.93
Some men's sins are
open beforehand, going before
00:08:03.96\00:08:08.42
to judgment; and some
men they follow after.
00:08:08.45\00:08:11.78
Likewise also the good works
of some are manifest beforehand;
00:08:11.81\00:08:17.03
and they that are
otherwise cannot be hid.
00:08:17.06\00:08:20.76
We're reading in First Timothy,
beginning now in chapter 6
00:08:20.79\00:08:24.58
and this is the
King James version.
00:08:24.61\00:08:26.20
Let as many servants
as are under the yoke
00:08:26.23\00:08:30.64
count their own masters worthy
of all honour, that the name of
00:08:30.67\00:08:34.66
God and his
doctrine be not blasphemed.
00:08:34.69\00:08:37.10
And they that have believing
masters, let them not despise
00:08:37.13\00:08:41.46
them, because they are brethren;
but rather do them service,
00:08:41.49\00:08:46.18
because they are
faithful and beloved,
00:08:46.21\00:08:48.70
partakers of the benefit.
These things teach and exhort.
00:08:48.73\00:08:53.31
If any man teach otherwise, and
consent not to wholesome words,
00:08:53.34\00:08:58.38
even the words of our Lord Jesus
Christ, and to the doctrine
00:08:58.41\00:09:01.69
which is according to godliness;
he is proud, knowing nothing,
00:09:01.72\00:09:06.19
but doting about questions and
strifes of words, whereof cometh
00:09:06.22\00:09:11.72
envy, strife,
railings, evil surmisings,
00:09:11.75\00:09:15.83
perverse disputings of men
of corrupt minds, and destitute
00:09:15.86\00:09:21.56
of the truth, supposing
that gain is godliness:
00:09:21.59\00:09:25.09
>From such withdraw thyself.
But godliness with contentment
00:09:25.12\00:09:31.68
is great gain. For we
brought nothing into this world,
00:09:31.71\00:09:35.72
and it is certain we
can carry nothing out.
00:09:35.75\00:09:37.91
And having food and raiment
let us be therewith content.
00:09:37.94\00:09:42.79
But they that will be rich, fall
into temptation and a snare,
00:09:42.82\00:09:47.57
and into many
foolish and hurtful lusts,
00:09:47.60\00:09:50.57
which drown men in
destruction and perdition.
00:09:50.60\00:09:53.00
For the love of money
is the root of all evil:
00:09:53.03\00:09:55.78
which while some coveted after,
they have erred from the faith,
00:09:55.81\00:10:00.60
and pierced themselves
through with many sorrows.
00:10:00.63\00:10:04.89
But thou, O man of
God, flee these things;
00:10:04.92\00:10:08.52
and follow after righteousness,
godliness, faith, love, patience
00:10:08.55\00:10:14.47
meekness. Fight the
good fight of faith,
00:10:14.50\00:10:16.96
lay hold on eternal life,
whereunto thou are also called,
00:10:16.99\00:10:21.41
and hast professed a good
profession before many witnesses
00:10:21.44\00:10:25.08
I give thee charge
in the sight of God,
00:10:25.11\00:10:28.14
who quickeneth all
things, and before Christ Jesus,
00:10:28.17\00:10:31.95
who before Pontius Pilate
witnessed a good confession;
00:10:31.98\00:10:35.62
that thou keep this commandment
without spot, unrebukeable,
00:10:35.65\00:10:40.66
until the appearing
of our Lord Jesus Christ;
00:10:40.69\00:10:43.34
Which in his times he
shall shew, who is the blessed
00:10:43.37\00:10:47.55
and only Potentate, the King
of Kings, and Lord of Lords;
00:10:47.58\00:10:52.18
Who only hath immortality,
dwelling in the light which
00:10:52.21\00:10:56.53
no man can approach unto; whom
no man hath seen, nor can see:
00:10:56.56\00:11:01.36
to whom be honour and
power everlasting. Amen
00:11:01.39\00:11:05.32
Charge them that are rich
in this world, that they be not
00:11:05.35\00:11:09.11
highminded, nor
trust in uncertain riches,
00:11:09.14\00:11:12.90
but in the living God, who
giveth us richly all things
00:11:12.93\00:11:17.78
to enjoy; that they do good,
that they be rich in good works,
00:11:17.81\00:11:22.58
ready to distribute,
willing to communicate;
00:11:22.61\00:11:25.93
Laying up in store for
themselves a good foundation
00:11:25.96\00:11:29.94
against the time to
come, that they may lay hold
00:11:29.97\00:11:33.61
on eternal life. O Timothy, keep
that which is committed to thy
00:11:33.64\00:11:38.25
trust, avoiding profane and vain
babblings, and oppositions of
00:11:38.28\00:11:43.32
science falsely so called;
which some professing have erred
00:11:43.35\00:11:49.27
concerning the faith.
Grace be with thee. Amen.
00:11:49.30\00:11:53.00
beginning now in the
2nd letter to Timothy,
00:11:53.03\00:11:56.25
and this is the King
James version, chapter one.
00:11:56.28\00:11:58.71
Paul, and apostle of
Jesus Christ by the will of God,
00:11:58.74\00:12:02.82
according to the promise of
life which is in Christ Jesus,
00:12:02.85\00:12:06.23
to Timothy, my dearly beloved
son: Grace, mercy, and peace,
00:12:06.26\00:12:12.29
from God the Father and Christ
Jesus our Lord. I thank God,
00:12:12.32\00:12:17.12
whom I serve from my forefathers
with pure conscience,
00:12:17.15\00:12:20.84
that without ceasing I
have remembrance of thee in my
00:12:20.87\00:12:24.88
prayers night and day;
greatly desiring to see thee,
00:12:24.91\00:12:28.93
being mindful of thy tears,
that I may be filled with joy;
00:12:28.96\00:12:33.42
When I call to remembrance the
unfeigned faith that is in thee,
00:12:33.45\00:12:38.12
which dwelt first in
thy grandmother Lois,
00:12:38.15\00:12:41.25
and thy mother Eunice; and I
am persuaded that in thee also.
00:12:41.28\00:12:45.59
wherefore I put thee in
remembrance that thou stir up
00:12:45.62\00:12:49.16
the gift of God which is in thee
by the putting on of my hands.
00:12:49.19\00:12:53.06
For God hath not given us the
spirit of fear; but of power,
00:12:53.09\00:12:57.63
and of love,
and of a sound mind.
00:12:57.66\00:13:00.28
Be not thou therefore ashamed
of the testimony of our Lord,
00:13:00.31\00:13:04.98
nor of me his prisoner: but be
thou partaker of the afflictions
00:13:05.01\00:13:09.62
of the gospel
according to the power of God;
00:13:09.65\00:13:11.87
Who hath save us, and
called us with an holy calling,
00:13:11.90\00:13:14.76
not according to our works,
but according to his own purpose
00:13:14.79\00:13:19.39
and grace, which was given us
in Christ Jesus before the world
00:13:19.42\00:13:23.38
began, but is now made manifest
by the appearing of our Saviour
00:13:23.41\00:13:27.94
Jesus Christ, who hath abolished
death, and hath brought life
00:13:27.97\00:13:32.32
and immortality to light through
the gospel: Whereunto I am
00:13:32.35\00:13:36.87
appointed a preacher,
and an apostle, and a teacher
00:13:36.90\00:13:40.19
of the Gentiles. For the which
cause I also suffer these things
00:13:40.22\00:13:45.41
nevertheless I am not ashamed:
for I know whom I have believed,
00:13:45.44\00:13:51.29
and am persuaded
that he is able to keep
00:13:51.32\00:13:55.34
that which have committed
unto him against that day.
00:13:55.37\00:13:59.30
Hold fast the form of sound
words, which thou hast heard
00:13:59.33\00:14:05.01
of me, in faith and love
which is in Christ Jesus.
00:14:05.04\00:14:08.86
That good thing which
was committed unto the, keep
00:14:08.89\00:14:12.67
by the Holy Ghost
which dwelleth in us.
00:14:12.70\00:14:15.19
This thou knowest, that
all they which are in Asia
00:14:15.22\00:14:19.24
be turned away from me; of whom
are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
00:14:19.27\00:14:23.66
The Lord give mercy unto
the house of Onesiphorus;
00:14:23.69\00:14:27.33
for he oft refreshed me,
and was not ashamed of my chain:
00:14:27.36\00:14:31.38
Thank you, and please
join me again next time.
