1 Timothy 1
1 Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ, according to [the] command of God our Saviour, and of Christ Jesus our hope,
Paulus Apostolus Iesu Christi secundum imperium Dei Salvatoris nostri, et Christi Iesu spei nostræ:
2 to Timotheus, [my] true child in faith: grace, mercy, peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Timotheo dilecto filio in fide. Gratia, misericordia, et pax a Deo Patre, et Christo Iesu Domino nostro.
3 Even as I begged thee to remain in Ephesus, [when I was] going to Macedonia, that thou mightest enjoin some not to teach other doctrines,
Sicut rogavi te ut remaneres Ephesi cum irem in Macedoniam, ut denunciares quibusdam ne aliter docerent,
4 nor to turn their minds to fables and interminable genealogies, which bring questionings rather than [further] God's dispensation, which [is] in faith.
neque intenderent fabulis, et genealogiis interminatis: quæ quæstiones præstant magis quam ædificationem Dei, quæ est in fide.
5 But the end of what is enjoined is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith;
Finis autem præcepti est charitas de corde puro, et conscientia bona, et fide non ficta.
6 which [things] some having missed, have turned aside to vain discourse,
A quibus quidam aberrantes, conversi sunt in vaniloquium,
7 desiring to be law-teachers, not understanding either what they say or concerning what they [so] strenuously affirm.
volentes esse legis doctores, non intelligentes neque quæ loquuntur, neque de quibus affirmant.
8 Now we know that the law [is] good if any one uses it lawfully,
Scimus autem quia bona est lex, si quis ea legitime utatur:
9 knowing this, that law has not its application to a righteous person, but to [the] lawless and insubordinate, to [the] impious and sinful, to [the] unholy and profane, to smiters of fathers and smiters of mothers; to murderers,
sciens hoc quia lex iusto non est posita, sed iniustis, et non subditis, impiis, et peccatoribus, sceleratis, et contaminatis, parricidis, et matricidis, homicidis,
10 fornicators, sodomites, kidnappers, liars, perjurers; and if any other thing is opposed to sound teaching,
fornicariis, masculorum concubitoribus, plagiariis, mendacibus, et periuris, et si quid aliud sanæ doctrinæ adversatur,
11 according to the glad tidings of the glory of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.
quæ est secundum Evangelium gloriæ beati Dei, quod creditum est mihi.
12 [And] I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me power, that he has counted me faithful, appointing to ministry him
Gratias ago ei, qui me confortavit, Christo Iesu Domino nostro, quia fidelem me existimavit, ponens in ministerio:
13 who before was a blasphemer and persecutor, and an insolent overbearing [man]: but mercy was shewn me because I did it ignorantly, in unbelief.
qui prius blasphemus fui, et persecutor, et contumeliosus: sed misericordiam Dei consecutus sum, quia ignorans feci in incredulitate.
14 But the grace of our Lord surpassingly over-abounded with faith and love, which [is] in Christ Jesus.
Superabundavit autem gratia Domini nostri cum fide, et dilectione, quæ est in Christo Iesu.
15 Faithful [is] the word, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am [the] first.
Fidelis sermo, et omni acceptione dignus: quod Christus Iesus venit in hunc mundum peccatores salvos facere, quorum primus ego sum:
16 But for this reason mercy was shewn me, that in me, [the] first, Jesus Christ might display the whole long-suffering, for a delineation of those about to believe on him to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Sed ideo misericordiam consecutus sum: ut in me primo ostenderet Christus Iesus omnem patientiam ad informationem eorum, qui credituri sunt illi, in vitam æternam. (aiōnios g166)
17 Now to the King of the ages, [the] incorruptible, invisible, only God, honour and glory to the ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Regi autem sæculorum immortali, invisibili, soli Deo honor, et gloria in sæcula sæculorum. Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 This charge, [my] child Timotheus, I commit to thee, according to the prophecies as to thee preceding, in order that thou mightest war by them the good warfare,
Hoc præceptum commendo tibi fili Timothee, secundum præcedentes in te prophetias, ut milites in illis bonam militiam,
19 maintaining faith and a good conscience; which [last] some, having put away, have made shipwreck as to faith;
habens fidem, et bonam conscientiam, quam quidam repellentes, circa fidem naufragaverunt:
20 of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may be taught by discipline not to blaspheme.
ex quibus est Hymenæus, et Alexander: quos tradidi Satanæ, ut discant non blasphemare.
