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,
ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲡⲁⲡⲟⲥⲧⲟⲗⲟⲥ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲡⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲧⲉⲛϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ.
2 to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
ⲃ̅ⲉϥⲥϩⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ⲡϩⲁⲕ ⲛ̅ϣⲏⲣⲉ ϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ. ⲧⲉⲭⲁⲣⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲛⲁ ⲁⲩⲱ ϯⲣⲏⲛⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ·
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,
ⲅ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲥⲉⲡⲥⲱⲡⲕ̅ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲕϭⲱ ϩⲛ̅ⲉⲫⲉⲥⲟⲥ ⲉⲉⲓⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲧⲙⲁⲕⲉⲇⲟⲛⲓⲁ. ϫⲉ ⲉⲕⲉⲡⲁⲣⲁⲅⲅⲉⲓⲗⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ϯϭⲉⲥⲃⲱ
4 and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.
ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲧⲙ̅ϫⲓϩⲣⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲓϣϥⲱ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲓϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛ̅ϫⲱⲙ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲩϩⲁⲏ. ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧϯ ⲛ̅ϩⲉⲛϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉⲧⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧϩⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ·
5 But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith,
ⲉ̅ⲡϫⲱⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲉⲧⲟⲟⲧⲛ̅ ⲡⲉ ⲧⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩϩⲏⲧ ⲉϥⲧⲃ̅ⲃⲏⲩ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲥⲩⲛⲓⲇⲏⲥⲓⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲙⲛ̅ϩⲩⲡⲟⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧⲥ̅.
6 from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,
ⲋ̅ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲡⲉϩⲟⲓ̈ⲛⲉ ⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϩⲉⲛϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲟⲩⲉⲓⲧ.
7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say nor about what they strongly affirm.
ⲍ̅ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁϩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ. ⲉⲛⲥⲉⲛⲟⲓ̈ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲟⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩⲧⲁϫⲣⲏⲩ ⲉϫⲛ̅ⲟⲩ·
8 But we know that the law is good if a person uses it lawfully,

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,
ⲑ̅ⲉϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙ̅ⲡⲁⲓ̈. ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲕⲏ ⲁⲛ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲙ̅ⲡⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ. ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛ̅ⲥⲉϩⲩⲡⲟⲧⲁⲥⲥⲉ ⲁⲛ. ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲁⲥⲉⲃⲏⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲣ̅ⲛⲟⲃⲉ. ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧϫⲁϩⲙ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲧⲃⲏⲧ. ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲥⲉϣⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲥⲉϣⲙⲁⲁⲩ. ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥϩⲉⲧⲃ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ.
10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,
ⲓ̅ⲛ̅ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲣⲛⲟⲥ. ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲧⲕ̅ ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲟⲟⲩⲧ. ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥϭⲉⲧⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ. ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥϫⲓϭⲟⲗ. ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲱⲣⲕ̅ ⲛ̅ⲛⲟⲩϫ. ⲙⲛ̅ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧϯ ⲟⲩⲃⲉⲧⲉⲥⲃⲱ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲟϫ
11 according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

12 I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service,
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ϯϣⲡ̅ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧϯϭⲟⲙ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲡⲉⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲛϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲟⲡⲧ̅ ⲙ̅ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ. ⲉⲁϥⲕⲁⲁⲧ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉⲩⲇⲓⲁⲕⲟⲛⲓⲁ.
13 although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲉⲓⲟ ⲛ̅ϫⲁⲧⲟⲩⲁ ⲛ̅ϣⲟⲣⲡ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲇⲓⲱⲕⲧⲏⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲣⲉϥⲥⲱϣ. ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲩⲛⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ϫⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲓ̈ⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲓ̈ⲟ ⲛ̅ⲁⲧⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϩⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲙⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ·
14 The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

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.

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 eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (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,

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

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