1 Timothy 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to a command of God our Savior, and of the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,

PAULOS, an apostle of Jeshu Meshiha, by the commandment of Aloha our Saviour, and of Jeshu Meshiha our hope;

2 to Timotheus—genuine child in faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!

to Timotheos, my true son in the faith: grace and mercy and peace from Aloha our Father and Jeshu Meshiha our Lord.

3 According as I exhorted you to remain in Ephesus—I going on to Macedonia—that you might charge certain [ones] not to teach any other thing,

I requested of thee, when I would go into Makedunia, to remain at Ephesos, and instruct certain men that they teach not various doctrines,

4 nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, that cause questions rather than [the] stewardship of God which [is] in faith.

nor throw themselves (away) upon stories and tales of generations which have no end, (but) which rather subserve contentions, and not edification in the faith of Aloha.

5 And the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of unhypocritical faith,

But the end of the commandment is love, from a pure heart, and from a good conscience, and from genuine faith.

6 from which certain [men], having swerved, turned aside to vain discourse,

And from them that have erred, and have declined to vain words,

7 willing to be teachers of law, not understanding either the things they say, nor concerning what they confidently assert,

seeking to become teachers of the law, while they understand not what they speak, nor that concerning which they contend.

8 and we have known that the Law [is] good, if anyone may use it lawfully;

But we know that the law is good, if a man according to the law converse in it;

9 having known this, that law is not set for a righteous man, but for lawless and insubordinate persons, ungodly and sinners, impious and profane, murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, manslayers,

knowing that against the righteous the law is not set, but against the evil, and rebels, and the wicked, and sinners, and the dishonest, and those who are not pure, and those who strike their fathers, and those who strike their mothers, and murderers,

10 whoremongers, homosexuals, enslavers, liars, perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is adverse to sound doctrine,

and fornicators, and liers with men, and stealers of the free, and liars, and doers against an oath

11 according to the good news of the glory of the blessed God, with which I was entrusted.

and whatever (else) is opposed to the healthful doctrine of the gospel of the glory of the blessed Aloha, with which I have been intrusted.

12 And I give thanks to Him who enabled me—Christ Jesus our Lord—that He reckoned me steadfast, having put [me] to the ministry,

And I thank him who hath empowered me, our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, who accounted me faithful, and constituted me his minister; me,

13 who before was speaking slander, and persecuting, and insulting, but I found kindness, because, being ignorant, I did [it] in unbelief,

who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious; but I received mercy, because while ignorant I did it, without faith.

14 and the grace of our Lord exceedingly abounded, with faith and love that [is] in Christ Jesus.

But in me hath abounded the grace of our Lord, and faith and love which are in Jeshu Meshiha.

15 The word [is] steadfast, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am first;

Faithful is the word, and worthy of reception that Jeshu the Meshiha came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am first.

16 but because of this I found kindness, that Jesus Christ might first show forth all long-suffering in me, for a pattern of those about to believe on Him to continuous life. (aiōnios g166)

But for this he had compassion upon me, that in me first Jeshu Meshiha might show all long-suffering, as an exhibition for them who should believe in him unto everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)

17 And to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only wise God, [is] honor and glory through the ages of the ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)

But to the King who is eternal, incorruptible, and unseen, who is one Aloha, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

18 I commit to you this charge, child Timotheus, according to the prophecies that went before on you, that you may war in them the good warfare,

This commandment I commit to thee, my son Timotheos, according to the early prophecies which were concerning thee, that thou mayest war through them this good warfare with faith and with a good conscience.

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

For those who this have put away from them of faith have been emptied;

20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be instructed not to speak evil.

as Hymeneos and Alexandros, whom I have delivered to Satana, that they may not blaspheme.
