1 Timothy 1

1 Paul, the apostle of Jesus according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and Jesus Christ our hope;

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 to Timothy, my beloved son in the faith. Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

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 As I exhorted you to remain in Ephesus, I going into Macedonia, in order that you may command certain ones not to teach heterodoxy,

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 nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which present questions, rather than the economy of God which is in faith:

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 but the end of the commandment is divine love out of a clean heart and a good conscience and faith free from hypocrisy:

And the goal of [our] instruction is love out of a pure heart and a conscience good and a faith sincere,

6 from which certain ones having deflected have gone out into empty talking,

from which some having missed the mark they have turned aside to meaningless discourse

7 wishing to be teachers of the law, not knowing either what they are saying, or concerning what things they do affirm.

desiring to be teachers of the Law, not understanding neither what they are saying nor [that] about which they confidently assert.

8 But we know that the law is good, if any one may use it lawfully;

We know now that good [is] the law if one it lawfully shall use,

9 knowing this, that the law is not made for the righteous, but for the unrighteous and disorderly, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and the profane, for patricides, matricides and homocides,

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 for fornicators, for Sodomites, for kidnapers, for liars, for perjurers, and if any thing else is opposed to healthy teaching;

for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for enslavers, for liars, for perjurers, and if anything other which to sound teaching is opposed

11 according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, with which I am intrusted.

according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, with which was entrusted I myself.

12 I give thanks to Jesus Christ our Lord, the one having filled me up with dynamite, because he considered me faithful, having put me in the ministry;

(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 being antecedently a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and an insulter: but I obtained mercy, because I did it in unbelief being ignorant;

(*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 but the grace of our Lord with faith and the divine love which is in Christ Jesus superabounded.

Surpassingly increased then the grace of the Lord of us with [the] faith and love that [are] in Christ Jesus.

15 It is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief:

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;

16 but on this account I obtained mercy, in order that Jesus Christ might in me the chief show forth all longsuffering, for an example of those about to believe on him unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

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)

17 But to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only God, be honor and glory unto the ages of the ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)

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 This charge I commit unto you, O child Timothy, according to the prophecies that went before on you, that you may war a beautiful warfare in the same;

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 having faith and a good conscience; which some having cast away have made shipwreck concerning the faith;

holding faith and a good conscience, which some having cast away concerning the faith caused a shipwreck,

20 of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander whom I have handed over to Satan that they may be disciplined not to blaspheme.
