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

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

3 As I besought thee, when I set out for Macedonia, to remain still in Ephesus, that thou mightst charge certain persons not to teach other doctrine,

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,

4 nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which occasion disputes rather than promote God's dispensation which is in faith, [[so I do now.]]

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

5 Now the end of the commandment is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned;

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

6 from which some swerving turned aside to vain babbling,

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

7 desiring to be teachers of the Law, understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

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

8 But we know that the Law is good, if a man use it lawfully,

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

9 knowing this, that the Law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for man-slayers,

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,

10 for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to the sound teaching,

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;

11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.

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

12 And I thank him who gave me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, that he accounted me faithful, putting me into the ministry, t

And I thank him who enabled me, Meshikha Yeshua our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service;

13 though formerly I was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a doer of outrage; but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly, in unbelief;

although I was before a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

14 and the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Meshikha Yeshua.

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

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

16 But for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me especially Christ Jesus might show forth all his long-suffering, as an example to those who should hereafter believe in him to life everlasting. (aiōnios g166)

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

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

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

18 This charge I commit to thee, my child Timothy, in accordance with the directions of the prophets before given to thee, that thou mayst in them war the good warfare,

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;

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

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

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

of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexandros; whom I delivered to Satana, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
