Titus 1 NLT ~ Greetings (1:1-4) ~ Concerning Elders (1:5-9) ~ Concerning False Teachers (1:10-16)
Titus 1 NLT
1 This letter is from Paul, a slave of
God and an apostle of Jesus Christ. I have been sent to proclaim faith to those
God has chosen and to teach them to know the truth that shows them how to live
godly lives.
2 This truth gives them confidence that
they have eternal life, which God—who does not lie—promised them before the
world began.
3 And now at just the right time he has
revealed this message, which we announce to everyone. It is by the command of
God our Savior that I have been entrusted with this work for him.
4 I am writing to Titus, my true son in
the faith that we share. May God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior give
you grace and peace.
5 I left you on the island of Crete so
you could complete our work there and appoint elders in each town as I
instructed you.
6 An elder must live a blameless life.
He must be faithful to his wife, and his children must be believers who don’t
have a reputation for being wild or rebellious.
7 An elder is a manager of God’s
household, so he must live a blameless life. He must not be arrogant or
quick-tempered; he must not be a heavy drinker, violent, or dishonest with
money.
8 Rather, he must enjoy having guests
in his home, and he must love what is good. He must live wisely and be just. He
must live a devout and disciplined life.
9 He must have a strong belief in the
trustworthy message he was taught; then he will be able to encourage others
with wholesome teaching and show those who oppose it where they are wrong.
10 For there are many rebellious people
who engage in useless talk and deceive others. This is especially true of those
who insist on circumcision for salvation.
11 They must be silenced, because they
are turning whole families away from the truth by their false teaching. And
they do it only for money.
12Even one of their own men, a prophet from
Crete, has said about them, “The people of Crete are all liars, cruel animals,
and lazy gluttons.”
13 This is true. So reprimand them
sternly to make them strong in the faith.
14 They must stop listening to Jewish
myths and the commands of people who have turned away from the truth.
15 Everything is pure to those whose
hearts are pure. But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving,
because their minds and consciences are corrupted.
16 Such people claim
they know God, but they deny him by the way they live. They are detestable and
disobedient, worthless for doing anything good.

2 Timothy 4 NLT ~ Paul's Departing Remarks (4:1-8) ~ Final Requests, Greetings and Benediction (4:9-22)
2 Timothy 4 NLT
1 I solemnly urge you in the presence
of God and Christ Jesus, who will someday judge the living and the dead when he
comes to set up his Kingdom:
2 Preach the word of God. Be prepared,
whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage
your people with good teaching.
3 For a time is coming when people will
no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own
desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching
ears want to hear.
4 They will reject the truth and chase
after myths.
5 But you should keep a clear mind in
every situation. Don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at telling
others the Good News, and fully carry out the ministry God has given you.
6 As for me, my life has already been
poured out as an offering to God. The time of my death is near.
7 I have fought the good fight, I have
finished the race, and I have remained faithful.
8 And now the prize awaits me—the crown
of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day
of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look
forward to his appearing.
9 Timothy, please come as soon as you
can.
10 Demas has deserted me because he
loves the things of this life and has gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone
to Galatia, and Titus has gone to Dalmatia.
11 Only Luke is with me. Bring Mark with
you when you come, for he will be helpful to me in my ministry.
12 I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
13 When you come, be sure to bring the
coat I left with Carpus at Troas. Also bring my books, and especially my
papers.
14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much
harm, but the Lord will judge him for what he has done.
15 Be careful of him, for he fought
against everything we said.
16 The first time I was brought before
the judge, no one came with me. Everyone abandoned me. May it not be counted
against them.
17 But the Lord stood with me and gave
me strength so that I might preach the Good News in its entirety for all the
Gentiles to hear. And he rescued me from certain death.
18 Yes, and the Lord will deliver me
from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All
glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
19 Give my greetings to Priscilla and
Aquila and those living in the household of Onesiphorus.
20Erastus stayed at Corinth, and I left
Trophimus sick at Miletus.
21 Do your best to get here before
winter. Eubulus sends you greetings, and so do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all
the brothers and sisters.
22 May the Lord be
with your spirit. And may his grace be with all of you.

2 Timothy 3 NLT ~ Warning about the Last Days (ch. 3)
2 Timothy 3 NLT
1 You should know this, Timothy, that
in the last days there will be very difficult times.
2 For people will love only themselves
and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient
to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred.
3 They will be unloving and
unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be
cruel and hate what is good.
4They will betray their friends, be
reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God.
5 They will act religious, but they
will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like
that!
6 They are the kind who work their way
into people’s homes and win the confidence of vulnerable women who are burdened
with the guilt of sin and controlled by various desires.
7 (Such women are forever following new
teachings, but they are never able to understand the truth.)
8 These teachers oppose the truth just
as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses. They have depraved minds and a counterfeit
faith.
9But they won’t get away with this for long.
Someday everyone will recognize what fools they are, just as with Jannes and
Jambres.
10 But you, Timothy, certainly know what
I teach, and how I live, and what my purpose in life is. You know my faith, my
patience, my love, and my endurance.
11 You know how much persecution and
suffering I have endured. You know all about how I was persecuted in Antioch,
Iconium, and Lystra—but the Lord rescued me from all of it.
12 Yes, and everyone who wants to live a
godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
13But evil people and impostors will
flourish. They will deceive others and will themselves be deceived.
14 But you must remain faithful to the
things you have been taught. You know they are true, for you know you can trust
those who taught you.
15 You have been taught the holy
Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the
salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus.
16 All Scripture is inspired by God and
is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our
lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.
17 God uses it to
prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

2 Timothy 2 NLT ~ Special Instructions to Timothy (ch. 2)
2 Timothy 2 NLT
1 Timothy, my dear son, be strong
through the grace that God gives you in Christ Jesus.
2 You have heard me teach things that
have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Now teach these truths to other
trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others.
3 Endure suffering along with me, as a
good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4 Soldiers don’t get tied up in the
affairs of civilian life, for then they cannot please the officer who enlisted
them.
5 And athletes cannot win the prize
unless they follow the rules.
6 And hardworking farmers should be the
first to enjoy the fruit of their labor.
7 Think about what I am saying. The
Lord will help you understand all these things.
8 Always remember that Jesus Christ, a
descendant of King David, was raised from the dead. This is the Good News I
preach.
9 And because I preach this Good News,
I am suffering and have been chained like a criminal. But the word of God
cannot be chained.
10 So I am willing to endure anything if
it will bring salvation and eternal glory in Christ Jesus to those God has
chosen.
11 This is a trustworthy saying: If we
die with him, we will also live with him.
12 If we endure hardship, we will reign
with him. If we deny him, he will deny us.
13 If we are unfaithful, he remains
faithful, for he cannot deny who he is.
14 Remind everyone about these things,
and command them in God’s presence to stop fighting over words. Such arguments
are useless, and they can ruin those who hear them.
15 Work hard so you can present yourself
to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be
ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.
16 Avoid worthless, foolish talk that
only leads to more godless behavior.
17 This kind of talk spreads like
cancer, as in the case of Hymenaeus and Philetus.
18 They have left the path of truth,
claiming that the resurrection of the dead has already occurred; in this way,
they have turned some people away from the faith.
19 But God’s truth stands firm like a
foundation stone with this inscription: “The LORD knows those who are his,” and
“All who belong to the LORD must turn away from evil.”
20 In a wealthy home some utensils are
made of gold and silver, and some are made of wood and clay. The expensive
utensils are used for special occasions, and the cheap ones are for everyday
use.
21 If you keep yourself pure, you will
be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will
be ready for the Master to use you for every good work.
22 Run from anything that stimulates
youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and
peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.
23 Again I say, don’t get involved in
foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights.
24 A servant of the Lord must not
quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with
difficult people.
25 Gently instruct those who oppose the
truth. Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will learn the
truth.
26 Then they will come
to their senses and escape from the devil’s trap. For they have been held
captive by him to do whatever he wants.

2 Timothy 1 NLT ~ Introduction (1:1-4) ~ Paul's Concern for Timothy (1:5-14) ~ Paul's Situation (1:15-18)
2 Timothy 1 NLT
1 This letter is from Paul, chosen by
the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus. I have been sent out to tell
others about the life he has promised through faith in Christ Jesus.
2 I am writing to Timothy, my dear son.
May God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord give you grace, mercy, and peace.
3 Timothy, I thank God for you—the God
I serve with a clear conscience, just as my ancestors did. Night and day I
constantly remember you in my prayers.
4 I long to see you again, for I
remember your tears as we parted. And I will be filled with joy when we are
together again.
5 I remember your genuine faith, for
you share the faith that first filled your grandmother Lois and your mother,
Eunice. And I know that same faith continues strong in you.
6 This is why I remind you to fan into
flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you.
7 For God has not given us a spirit of
fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
8 So never be ashamed to tell others
about our Lord. And don’t be ashamed of me, either, even though I’m in prison
for him. With the strength God gives you, be ready to suffer with me for the
sake of the Good News.
9 For God saved us and called us to
live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was
his plan from before the beginning of time—to show us his grace through Christ
Jesus.
10 And now he has made all of this plain
to us by the appearing of Christ Jesus, our Savior. He broke the power of death
and illuminated the way to life and immortality through the Good News.
11 And God chose me to be a preacher, an
apostle, and a teacher of this Good News.
12 That is why I am suffering here in
prison. But I am not ashamed of it, for I know the one in whom I trust, and I
am sure that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until the day of
his return.
13 Hold on to the pattern of wholesome
teaching you learned from me—a pattern shaped by the faith and love that you
have in Christ Jesus.
14 Through the power of the Holy Spirit
who lives within us, carefully guard the precious truth that has been entrusted
to you.
15 As you know, everyone from the
province of Asia has deserted me—even Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 May the Lord show special kindness to
Onesiphorus and all his family because he often visited and encouraged me. He
was never ashamed of me because I was in chains.
17 When he came to Rome, he searched
everywhere until he found me.
18 May the Lord show
him special kindness on the day of Christ’s return. And you know very well how
helpful he was in Ephesus.

1 Timothy 6 NLT ~ Miscellaneous Matters (6:3-19) ~ Concluding Appeal and Benediction (6:20-21)
1 Timothy 6 NLT
3Some people may contradict our teaching,
but these are the wholesome teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. These teachings
promote a godly life.
4 Anyone who teaches something
different is arrogant and lacks understanding. Such a person has an unhealthy
desire to quibble over the meaning of words. This stirs up arguments ending in
jealousy, division, slander, and evil suspicions.
5 These people always cause trouble.
Their minds are corrupt, and they have turned their backs on the truth. To
them, a show of godliness is just a way to become wealthy.
6 Yet true godliness with contentment
is itself great wealth.
7 After all, we brought nothing with us
when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave
it.
8 So if we have enough food and
clothing, let us be content.
9 But people who long to be rich fall
into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge
them into ruin and destruction.
10 For the love of money is the root of
all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true
faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.
11 But you, Timothy, are a man of God;
so run from all these evil things. Pursue righteousness and a godly life, along
with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.
12 Fight the good fight for the true
faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you, which you
have declared so well before many witnesses.
13 And I charge you before God, who
gives life to all, and before Christ Jesus, who gave a good testimony before
Pontius Pilate,
14 that you obey this command without
wavering. Then no one can find fault with you from now until our Lord Jesus
Christ comes again.
15 For, At just the right time Christ
will be revealed from heaven by the blessed and only almighty God, the King of
all kings and Lord of all lords.
16He alone can never die, and he lives in
light so brilliant that no human can approach him. No human eye has ever seen
him, nor ever will. All honor and power to him forever! Amen.
17 Teach those who are rich in this
world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable.
Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our
enjoyment.
18 Tell them to use their money to do
good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always
being ready to share with others.
19 By doing this they will be storing up
their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may experience
true life.
20 Timothy, guard what God has entrusted
to you. Avoid godless, foolish discussions with those who oppose you with their
so-called knowledge.
21 Some people have
wandered from the faith by following such foolishness. May God’s grace be with
you all.
1 Timothy 5 - 6:2 ~ Instructions concerning Different Groups in the Church (5:1;6:2)
1 Timothy 5 NLT
1 Never speak harshly to an older man,
but appeal to him respectfully as you would to your own father. Talk to younger
men as you would to your own brothers.
2 Treat older women as you would your
mother, and treat younger women with all purity as you would your own sisters.
3 Take care of any widow who has no one
else to care for her.
4 But if she has children or
grandchildren, their first responsibility is to show godliness at home and
repay their parents by taking care of them. This is something that pleases God.
5 Now a true widow, a woman who is
truly alone in this world, has placed her hope in God. She prays night and day,
asking God for his help.
6 But the widow who lives only for
pleasure is spiritually dead even while she lives.
7 Give these instructions to the church
so that no one will be open to criticism.
8 But those who won’t care for their
relatives, especially those in their own household, have denied the true faith.
Such people are worse than unbelievers.
9 A widow who is put on the list for
support must be a woman who is at least sixty years old and was faithful to her
husband.
10 She must be well respected by
everyone because of the good she has done. Has she brought up her children
well? Has she been kind to strangers and served other believers humbly? Has she
helped those who are in trouble? Has she always been ready to do good?
11 The younger widows should not be on
the list, because their physical desires will overpower their devotion to
Christ and they will want to remarry.
12 Then they would be guilty of breaking
their previous pledge.
13 And if they are on the list, they
will learn to be lazy and will spend their time gossiping from house to house,
meddling in other people’s business and talking about things they shouldn’t.
14 So I advise these younger widows to
marry again, have children, and take care of their own homes. Then the enemy
will not be able to say anything against them.
15 For I am afraid that some of them
have already gone astray and now follow Satan.
16 If a woman who is a believer has
relatives who are widows, she must take care of them and not put the
responsibility on the church. Then the church can care for the widows who are
truly alone.
17 Elders who do their work well should
be respected and paid well, especially those who work hard at both preaching
and teaching.
18 For the Scripture says, “You must not
muzzle an ox to keep it from eating as it treads out the grain.” And in another
place, “Those who work deserve their pay!”
19 Do not listen to an accusation
against an elder unless it is confirmed by two or three witnesses.
20Those who sin should be reprimanded in
front of the whole church; this will serve as a strong warning to others.
21 I solemnly command you in the
presence of God and Christ Jesus and the highest angels to obey these
instructions without taking sides or showing favoritism to anyone.
22Never be in a hurry about appointing a
church leader. Do not share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
23 Don’t drink only water. You ought to
drink a little wine for the sake of your stomach because you are sick so often.
24Remember, the sins of some people are
obvious, leading them to certain judgment. But there are others whose sins will
not be revealed until later.
25 In the same way,
the good deeds of some people are obvious. And the good deeds done in secret
will someday come to light.
1 Timothy 6 NLT
1 All slaves should show full respect
for their masters so they will not bring shame on the name of God and his
teaching.
2 If the masters are believers, that is
no excuse for being disrespectful. Those slaves should work all the harder
because their efforts are helping other believers who are well loved. False
Teaching and True Riches Teach these things, Timothy, and encourage everyone to
obey them.
