1 Timothy 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,

παυλοσ αποστολοσ ιησου χριστου κατ επιταγην θεου σωτηροσ ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου τησ ελπιδοσ ημων

2 to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

τιμοθεω γνησιω τεκνω εν πιστει χαρισ ελεοσ ειρηνη απο θεου πατροσ ημων και χριστου ιησου του κυριου ημων

3 As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine,

καθωσ παρεκαλεσα σε προσμειναι εν εφεσω πορευομενοσ εισ μακεδονιαν ινα παραγγειλησ τισιν μη ετεροδιδασκαλειν

4 and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.

μηδε προσεχειν μυθοισ και γενεαλογιαισ απεραντοισ αιτινεσ ζητησεισ παρεχουσιν μαλλον η οικονομιαν θεου την εν πιστει

5 But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith,

το δε τελοσ τησ παραγγελιασ εστιν αγαπη εκ καθαρασ καρδιασ και συνειδησεωσ αγαθησ και πιστεωσ ανυποκριτου

6 from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,

ων τινεσ αστοχησαντεσ εξετραπησαν εισ ματαιολογιαν

7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say nor about what they strongly affirm.

θελοντεσ ειναι νομοδιδασκαλοι μη νοουντεσ μητε α λεγουσιν μητε περι τινων διαβεβαιουνται

8 But we know that the law is good if a person uses it lawfully,

οιδαμεν δε οτι καλοσ ο νομοσ εαν τισ αυτω νομιμωσ χρηται

9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

ειδωσ τουτο οτι δικαιω νομοσ ου κειται ανομοισ δε και ανυποτακτοισ ασεβεσιν και αμαρτωλοισ ανοσιοισ και βεβηλοισ πατρολωαισ και μητρολωαισ ανδροφονοισ

10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,

πορνοισ αρσενοκοιταισ ανδραποδισταισ ψευσταισ επιορκοισ και ει τι ετερον τη υγιαινουση διδασκαλια αντικειται

11 according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

κατα το ευαγγελιον τησ δοξησ του μακαριου θεου ο επιστευθην εγω

12 I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service,

και χαριν εχω τω ενδυναμωσαντι με χριστω ιησου τω κυριω ημων οτι πιστον με ηγησατο θεμενοσ εισ διακονιαν

13 although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

τον προτερον οντα βλασφημον και διωκτην και υβριστην αλλα ηλεηθην οτι αγνοων εποιησα εν απιστια

14 The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

υπερεπλεονασεν δε η χαρισ του κυριου ημων μετα πιστεωσ και αγαπησ τησ εν χριστω ιησου

15 The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.

πιστοσ ο λογοσ και πασησ αποδοχησ αξιοσ οτι χριστοσ ιησουσ ηλθεν εισ τον κοσμον αμαρτωλουσ σωσαι ων πρωτοσ ειμι εγω

16 However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience for an example of those who were going to believe in him for consummate (aiōnios g166) life.

αλλα δια τουτο ηλεηθην ινα εν εμοι πρωτω ενδειξηται ιησουσ χριστοσ την πασαν μακροθυμιαν προσ υποτυπωσιν των μελλοντων πιστευειν επ αυτω εισ ζωην αιωνιον (aiōnios g166)

17 Now to the King of the ages (aiōn g165), immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory for the ages (aiōn g165) of the ages (aiōn g165). Amen.

τω δε βασιλει των αιωνων αφθαρτω αορατω μονω σοφω θεω τιμη και δοξα εισ τουσ αιωνασ των αιωνων αμην (aiōn g165)

18 I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them you may wage the good warfare,

ταυτην την παραγγελιαν παρατιθεμαι σοι τεκνον τιμοθεε κατα τασ προαγουσασ επι σε προφητειασ ινα στρατευη εν αυταισ την καλην στρατειαν

19 holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith,

εχων πιστιν και αγαθην συνειδησιν ην τινεσ απωσαμενοι περι την πιστιν εναυαγησαν

20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they might be taught not to blaspheme.

ων εστιν υμεναιοσ και αλεξανδροσ ουσ παρεδωκα τω σατανα ινα παιδευθωσιν μη βλασφημειν
