< 1 Timothy 1 >
1 Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God, our Saviour, 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 Timothy, my own son in the faith: Favor, mercy, and peace from God our Father, and from 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 As I entreated you to continue in Ephesus, when going into Macedonia, that you may charge some not to teach differently,
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, which occasion disputes rather than godly edification, which is through 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 (now the end of the charge is love, from a pure heart, and a good conscience, and unfeigned 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 things some having swerved, have turned aside to foolish talking; )
And from them that have erred, and have declined to vain words,
7 desiring to be teachers of the law, neither understanding what they say, nor the things about which they are so positive.
seeking to become teachers of the law, while they understand not what they speak, nor that concerning which they contend.
8 We know, indeed, that the law is good, if one use it lawfully;
But we know that the law is good, if a man according to the law converse in it;
9 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,
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 fornicators, sodomites, manstealers, liars, false swearers, and if any other thing be opposite to wholesome doctrine;
and fornicators, and liers with men, and stealers of the free, and liars, and doers against an oath
11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I am intrusted.
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 Now, I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has qualified me, that he reckoned me faithful, appointing 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 was formerly a defamer, and a persecutor, and an injurious person. But I received mercy, because I acted ignorantly 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 favor of the Lord has superabounded, with the faith and love which is by Christ Jesus.
But in me hath abounded the grace of our Lord, and faith and love which are in Jeshu Meshiha.
15 This saying is true, and worthy of all reception, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
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 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 )
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 )
17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God alone, be honor and glory, for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
But to the King who is eternal, incorruptible, and unseen, who is one Aloha, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
18 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;
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 holding fast faith and a good conscience; which some have put away, with respect to the faith, having made shipwreck:
For those who this have put away from them of faith have been emptied;
20 of whom are Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to the adversary, that they might be taught by chastisement not to blaspheme.
as Hymeneos and Alexandros, whom I have delivered to Satana, that they may not blaspheme.
