1 Timothy 1

1 Paul an apostle (of [the] Lord *O) Christ Jesus according to [the] command of God [the] Savior of us and (Lord *K) Christ Jesus the hope of us

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and Christ Jesus our hope;

2 To Timothy [my] true child in [the] faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace from God [the] Father (of us *K) and Christ Jesus the Lord of us.

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

3 even as I urged you to remain in Ephesus [when] I was going to Macedonia so that you may warn certain men not to teach other doctrines

As I exhorted thee to tarry at Ephesus, when I was going into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge certain men not to teach a different doctrine,

4 nor to give heed to myths and to genealogies endless, which (speculations *N+kO) bring rather than stewardship of God which [is] in faith.

neither to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, the which minister questionings, rather than a dispensation of God which is in faith; [so do I now].

5 And the goal of [our] instruction is love out of a pure heart and a conscience good and a faith sincere,

But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned:

6 from which some having missed the mark they have turned aside to meaningless discourse

from which things some having swerved have turned aside unto vain talking;

7 desiring to be teachers of the Law, not understanding neither what they are saying nor [that] about which they confidently assert.

desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor whereof they confidently affirm.

8 We know now that good [is] the law if one it lawfully shall use,

But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully,

9 knowing this, that for a righteous [one] law not is enacted, for [the] lawless however and insubordinate, for [the] ungodly and sinful, for [the] unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for slayers of man,

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

10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for enslavers, for liars, for perjurers, and if anything other which to sound teaching is opposed

for fornicators, for abusers of themselves with men, for menstealers, for liars, for false swearers, and if there be any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;

11 according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, with which was entrusted I myself.

according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

12 (and *k) Thankfulness I have for the [One] having strengthened me for Christ Jesus the Lord of us that faithful me He esteemed having appointed [me] to service,

I thank him that enabled me, [even] Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he counted me faithful, appointing me to [his] service;

13 formerly being a blasphemer and a persecutor and insolent; but I was shown mercy, because being ignorant I did [it] in unbelief;

though I was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: howbeit I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief;

14 Surpassingly increased then the grace of the Lord of us with [the] faith and love that [are] in Christ Jesus.

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

15 Trustworthy [is] the saying and of full acceptance worthy that Christ Jesus came into the world sinners to save, of whom [the] foremost am I myself;

Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief:

16 But because of this I was shown mercy, that in me myself [the] foremost may display Christ Jesus ([his] perfect *N+KO) patience as a pattern for those being about to believe on Him to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)

howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me as chief might Jesus Christ shew forth all his longsuffering, for an ensample of them which should hereafter believe on him unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

17 now to the King of the ages, [the] immortal invisible only (wise *K) God, [be] honor and glory to the ages of the ages, Amen. (aiōn g165)

Now unto the King eternal, incorruptible, invisible, the only God, [be] honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

18 This charge I commit to you, [my] child Timothy, according to the going before as to you prophecies, that (you may war *NK+o) by them the good warfare

This charge I commit unto thee, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that by them thou mayest war the good warfare;

19 holding faith and a good conscience, which some having cast away concerning the faith caused a shipwreck,

holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust from them made shipwreck concerning the faith:

20 among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander whom I have handed over to Satan that they may be disciplined not to blaspheme.

of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I delivered unto Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
