1 Timoteus 1
1 Paulus, Kristi Jesu Apostel efter Befaling af Gud, vor Frelser, og Kristus Jesus, vort Haab,
Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God, our Saviour, and of the Lord Jesus Christ, our hope;
2 til Timotheus, sit ægte Barn i Troen: Naade, Barmhjertighed og Fred fra Gud Fader og Kristus Jesus vor Herre!
to Timothy, my own son in the faith: Favor, mercy, and peace from God our Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Det var derfor, jeg opfordrede dig til at blive i Efesus, da jeg drog til Makedonien, for at du skulde paabyde visse Folk ikke at føre fremmed Lære
As I entreated you to continue in Ephesus, when going into Macedonia, that you may charge some not to teach differently,
4 og ikke at agte paa Fabler og Slægtregistre uden Ende, som mere fremme Stridigheder end Guds Husholdning i Tro.
nor to give heed to fables, and endless genealogies, which occasion disputes rather than godly edification, which is through faith;
5 Men Paabudets Endemaal er Kærlighed af et rent Hjerte og af en god Samvittighed og af en uskrømtet Tro,
(now the end of the charge is love, from a pure heart, and a good conscience, and unfeigned faith:
6 hvorfra nogle ere afvegne og have vendt sig til intetsigende Snak,
from which things some having swerved, have turned aside to foolish talking; )
7 idet de ville være Lovlærere uden at forstaa, hverken hvad de sige, eller hvorom de udtale sig saa sikkert.
desiring to be teachers of the law, neither understanding what they say, nor the things about which they are so positive.
8 Men vi vide, at Loven er god, dersom man bruger den lovmæssigt,
We know, indeed, that the law is good, if one use it lawfully;
9 idet man ved dette, at Loven ikke er sat for den retfærdige, men for lovløse og ulydige, ugudelige og Syndere, ryggesløse og vanhellige, for dem, som øve Vold imod deres Fader og Moder, for Manddrabere,
knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disorderly, the ungodly and sinners, the unholy and profane; murderers of fathers, and murderers of mothers, manslayers,
10 utugtige, Syndere imod Naturen, Menneskerøvere, Løgnere, Menedere, og hvad andet dei er imod den sunde Lære,
fornicators, sodomites, manstealers, liars, false swearers, and if any other thing be opposite to wholesome doctrine;
11 efter den salige Guds Herligheds Evangelium, som er blevet mig betroet.
according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I am intrusted.
12 Jeg takker ham, som gjorde mig stærk, Kristus Jesus, vor Herre, fordi han agtede mig for tro, idet han satte mig til en Tjeneste,
Now, I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has qualified me, that he reckoned me faithful, appointing me to the ministry,
13 skønt jeg forhen var en Bespotter og en Forfølger og en Voldsmand; men der blev vist mig Barmhjertighed, thi jeg gjorde det uvitterligt i Vantro.
who was formerly a defamer, and a persecutor, and an injurious person. But I received mercy, because I acted ignorantly in unbelief;
14 Ja, vor Herres Naade viste sig overvættes rig med Tro og Kærlighed i Kristus Jesus.
and the favor of the Lord has superabounded, with the faith and love which is by Christ Jesus.
15 Den Tale er troværdig og al Modtagelse værd, at Kristus Jesus kom til Verden for at frelse Syndere, iblandt hvilke jeg er den største.
This saying is true, and worthy of all reception, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
16 Men derfor blev der vist mig Barmhjertighed, for at Jesus Kristus kunde paa mig som den første vise hele sin Langmodighed, til et Forbillede paa dem, som skulle tro paa ham til evigt Liv. (aiōnios g166)
However, for this cause I received mercy, that in me, the chief of sinners, Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to them who should believe on him, in order to everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Men Evighedens Konge, den uforkrænkelige, usynlige, eneste Gud være Pris og Ære i Evighedernes Evigheder! Amen. (aiōn g165)
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God alone, be honor and glory, for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 Dette Paabud betror jeg dig, mit Barn Timotheus, ifølge de Profetier, som tilforn ere udtalte over dig, at du efter dem strider den gode Strid,
This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before you, concerning you, that we may carry on, through them, the good warfare;
19 idet du har Tro og en god Samvittighed, hvilken nogle have stødt fra sig og lidt Skibbrud paa Troen;
holding fast faith and a good conscience; which some have put away, with respect to the faith, having made shipwreck:
20 iblandt dem ere Hymenæus og Aleksander, hvilke jeg har overgivet til Satan, for at de skulle tugtes til ikke at bespotte.
of whom are Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to the adversary, that they might be taught by chastisement not to blaspheme.
