1 Timothy 1

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

Paulus Apostolus Jesu Christi secundum imperium Dei Salvatoris nostri, et Christi Jesu spei nostræ,

2 to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Timotheo dilecto filio in fide. Gratia, misericordia, et pax a Deo Patre, et Christo Jesu Domino nostro.

3 As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain people not to teach a different doctrine,

Sicut rogavi te ut remaneres Ephesi cum irem in Macedoniam, ut denuntiares quibusdam ne aliter docerent,

4 neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause speculation, rather than God's stewardship, which is in faith—

neque intenderent fabulis, et genealogiis interminatis: quæ quæstiones præstant magis quam ædificationem Dei, quæ est in fide.

5 but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith;

Finis autem præcepti est caritas de corde puro, et conscientia bona, et fide non ficta.

6 from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned aside to vain talking;

A quibus quidam aberrantes, conversi sunt in vaniloquium,

7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm.

volentes esse legis doctores, non intelligentes neque quæ loquuntur, neque de quibus affirmant.

8 But we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully,

Scimus autem quia bona est lex si quis ea legitime utatur:

9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their father or mother, for murderers,

sciens hoc quia lex justo non est posita, sed injustis, et non subditis, impiis, et peccatoribus, sceleratis, et contaminatis, parricidis, et matricidis, homicidis,

10 for the sexually immoral, for men who have sexual relations with men, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to sound teaching;

fornicariis, masculorum concubitoribus, plagiariis, mendacibus, et perjuris, et si quid aliud sanæ doctrinæ adversatur,

11 according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

quæ est secundum Evangelium gloriæ beati Dei, quod creditum est mihi.

12 And I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service;

Gratias ago ei, qui me confortavit, Christo Jesu Domino nostro, quia fidelem me existimavit, ponens in ministerio:

13 although I was before a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, 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 The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Superabundavit autem gratia Domini nostri cum fide, et dilectione, quæ est in Christo Jesu.

15 The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

Fidelis sermo, et omni acceptione dignus: quod Christus Jesus venit in hunc mundum peccatores salvos facere, quorum primus ego sum.

16 However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience, for an example of those who were going to believe in him for everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)

Sed ideo misericordiam consecutus sum: ut in me primo ostenderet Christus Jesus omnem patientiam ad informationem eorum, qui credituri sunt illi, in vitam æternam. (aiōnios g166)

17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

Regi autem sæculorum immortali, invisibili, soli Deo honor et gloria in sæcula sæculorum. Amen. (aiōn g165)

18 This instruction I commit to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to you, that by them you may wage the good warfare;

Hoc præceptum commendo tibi, fili Timothee, secundum præcedentes in te prophetias, ut milites in illis bonam militiam,

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

habens fidem, et bonam conscientiam, quam quidam repellentes, circa fidem naufragaverunt:

20 of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.

ex quibus est Hymenæus, et Alexander: quos tradidi Satanæ, ut discant non blasphemare.
