\v 1 God who saves us and Christ Jesus who gives us hope commanded that I, Paul, should be an apostle.
\v 2 I am writing this to you, Timothy, and you are like a son to me by believing. I pray that God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ will be kind and merciful to you and that he will give you his peace
From Bob Johnson
\v 3 God wants you to set yourselves apart to God in everything you do. He commands you to keep away from all immoral sexual acts.
\v 4 He wants all of you to control your own bodies in a way that sets you apart from the world and honors God.
\v 13 Because of the sins you committed against God, you were spiritually dead. And because you were Gentiles, God had not chosen you to be his people. But when God made Christ alive, he also made you spiritually alive with Christ, and he forgave all our sins.
Thanks to Bob Johnson
\v 10 They also tell us that you are waiting expectantly for his Son to return to earth from heaven. It was God who raised up his Son from the dead; and the Son of God is the one who rescues us from the anger of God that is coming.

\v 7 Christ never told us another form of the good news, but other people are confusing you. They want to change the good news about Christ; they want you to believe that Christ actually said something different.
\s5
\v 8 But even if we apostles or an angel from heaven should tell you a form of the good news that is not the same as what we told you before, God should punish that person forever.
From Bob and Tom
\v 13 By becoming a curse for us, Christ rescued us from the curse that the law brings. Christ was cursed for us by dying on the cross; as the scripture says, "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."
from Bob and Tom
\v 27 It is like what the prophet Isaiah wrote,
\q "Be glad, you women who have no children!
\q Shout out loud and cry out,
\q2 you who have never had labor pains!
\q You will have more children than
\q2 any woman with a husband could have borne."
\v 5 Test yourselves to be sure that you are living your lives by trusting in God. You should realize that Christ is in you. But if you are not trusting in God, then, of course, Christ is not in you.
Thanks to Susan and Bob
\v 12 As the human body is a union of many parts, and all parts of the body together make the whole, so it is with Christ.
Thanks to Bob Johnson for finding a more consistent syntax.

\v 2 You may recall that time before you were believers in Christ, when you worshiped idols—idols that could not even speak a word, and you may remember how worshiping those idols led you astray.
Tom Warren
\v 15 How can Christ agree in any way with the Devil? What does a person who trusts in God have in common with some other person who does not trust in God?
