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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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,

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

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

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,

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

14 Surpassingly increased then the grace of the Lord of us with [the] faith and love that [are] 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;

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)

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)

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

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

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