1 Timothy 1

1 PAUL, a legate of Jesus the Messiah, by the command of God our life-giver, and of the Messiah, Jesus our hope;

Paul, an emissary of Messiah Yeshua according to the commandment of God our Savior, and Messiah Yeshua our hope;

2 to Timothy, my true son in the faith: grace and mercy and peace, from God our Father, and the Messiah, Jesus our Lord.

to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Messiah Yeshua our Lord.

3 When I was going into Macedonia, I requested thee to remain at Ephesus, and to charge certain persons not to teach different doctrines;

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

4 and not to throw themselves into fables and stories about genealogies, of which there is no end, which produce contention rather than edification in the faith of God.

neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause speculation, rather than God's stewardship, which is in faith—

5 Now the end of the command is love, which is from a pure heart, and from a good conscience, and from true faith.

but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith;

6 But from these some have strayed, and have turned aside to vain words;

from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned aside to vain talking;

7 because they wished to be teachers of the law, while they understood not what they speak, nor the thing about which they contend.

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

8 Now, we know, that the law is a good thing, if a man conduct himself in it, according to the law,

But we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully,

9 he knowing that the law was not established for the righteous, but for the evil, and the rebellious, and the ungodly, and the sinful, and the perverse and for the impure, and for smiters of their fathers and smiters of their mothers, and for murderers,

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 those who kill their father or mother, for murderers,

10 and for whoremongers, and for copulators with males, and for the stealers of free people, and for liars, and for violators of oaths, and for whatever is contrary to sound doctrine,

for the sexually immoral, for men who have sexual relations with men, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to sound teaching;

11 namely that of the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I am intrusted.

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

12 And I thank him who strengthened me, even our Lord Jesus the Messiah; who accounted me faithful, and appointed me to his ministry;

And I thank him who enabled me, Messiah Yeshua our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service;

13 me I say, who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a reviler; but I obtained mercy, because I did it while ignorant and without faith.

although I was before a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

14 And in me the grace of our Lord abounded, and faith and love, which is in Jesus the Messiah.

The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Messiah Yeshua.

15 Faithful is the declaration, and worthy to be received, that Jesus the Messiah came into the world to give life to sinners, of whom I was the primary.

The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Messiah Yeshua came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

16 But for this cause had he mercy on me, that in me first Jesus the Messiah might display all his long suffering, for an example to them who were to believe on him unto life eternal. (aiōnios g166)

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

17 And to the king eternal, incorruptible, and invisible, the sole God, be honor and glory for ever and ever! Amen. (aiōn g165)

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

18 This injunction I commit to thee, my son Timothy, according to the former predictions concerning thee, that in them thou mightest war this good warfare,

This instruction I commit to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to you, that by them you may wage the good warfare;

19 in faith and a good conscience; for they who have repudiated this, have become destitute of faith;

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

20 like Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered up to Satan, that they may learn not to be blasphemers.

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