提摩太前書 1
1 奉我們救主上帝和我們的盼望基督耶穌之命，作基督耶穌使徒的保羅
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 寫信給那因信主作我真兒子的提摩太。願恩惠、憐憫、平安從父上帝和我們主基督耶穌歸與你！
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 我往馬其頓去的時候，曾勸你仍住在以弗所，好囑咐那幾個人不可傳異教，
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 也不可聽從荒渺無憑的話語和無窮的家譜；這等事只生辯論，並不發明上帝在信上所立的章程。
nor to give heed to myths and to genealogies endless, which (speculations *N(k)O*) bring rather than stewardship of God which [is] in faith.
5 但命令的總歸就是愛；這愛是從清潔的心和無虧的良心，無偽的信心生出來的。
And the goal of [our] instruction is love out of a pure heart and a conscience good and a faith sincere,
6 有人偏離這些，反去講虛浮的話，
from which some having missed the mark they have turned aside to meaningless discourse
7 想要作教法師，卻不明白自己所講說的所論定的。
desiring to be teachers of the Law, not understanding neither what they are saying nor [that] about which they confidently assert.
8 我們知道律法原是好的，只要人用得合宜；
We know now that good [is] the law if one it lawfully shall use,
9 因為律法不是為義人設立的，乃是為不法和不服的，不虔誠和犯罪的，不聖潔和戀世俗的，弒父母和殺人的，
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 行淫和親男色的，搶人口和說謊話的，並起假誓的，或是為別樣敵正道的事設立的。
for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for enslavers, for liars, for perjurers, and if anything other which to sound teaching is opposed
11 這是照着可稱頌之上帝交託我榮耀福音說的。
according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, with which was entrusted I myself.
12 我感謝那給我力量的我們主基督耶穌，因他以我有忠心，派我服事他。
(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 我從前是褻瀆上帝的，逼迫人的，侮慢人的；然而我還蒙了憐憫，因我是不信不明白的時候而做的。
(*N(k)O*) formerly being a blasphemer and a persecutor and insolent; but I was shown mercy, because being ignorant I did [it] in unbelief;
14 並且我主的恩是格外豐盛，使我在基督耶穌裏有信心和愛心。
Surpassingly increased then the grace of the Lord of us with [the] faith and love that [are] in Christ Jesus.
15 「基督耶穌降世，為要拯救罪人。」這話是可信的，是十分可佩服的。在罪人中我是個罪魁。
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;
But because of this I was shown mercy, that in me myself [the] foremost may display Christ Jesus ([his] perfect *N(K)O*) patience as a pattern for those being about to believe on Him to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
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 我兒提摩太啊，我照從前指着你的預言，將這命令交託你，叫你因此可以打那美好的仗。
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 常存信心和無虧的良心。有人丟棄良心，就在真道上如同船破壞了一般。
holding faith and a good conscience, which some having cast away concerning the faith caused a shipwreck,
20 其中有許米乃和亞歷山大；我已經把他們交給撒但，使他們受責罰就不再謗瀆了。
among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander whom I have handed over to Satan that they may be disciplined not to blaspheme.
