Read 1 Timothy in the King James Version, with a plain-language reading beneath every verse. Here are a few to start with.
From 1 Timothy
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;
Paul, a messenger of Jesus Christ, chosen by God our Savior and Jesus Christ, our beacon of hope.
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
In the vast universe, there exists only one divine power, our God. And there's only one bridge that connects us, humans, to Him - the compassionate and humble man, Christ Jesus.
Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
Avoid excessive drinking, don't be violent or greedy for dirty money. Instead, be patient, peaceful, and free from materialistic desires.
Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man.
Do not include a widow in the count unless she is over sixty years old and was married to only one man.
