1 Timothy 1
1 PAUL, a legate of Jesus the Messiah, by the command of God our life-giver, and of the Messiah, Jesus our hope;
PABLO, apóstol de Jesu-Cristo por la ordenacion de Dios nuestro Salvador, y del Señor Jesu-Cristo, nuestra esperanza;
2 to Timothy, my true son in the faith: grace and mercy and peace, from God our Father, and the Messiah, Jesus our Lord.
A Timotéo, verdadero hijo en la fé: Gracia, misericordia y paz de Dios nuestro Padre, y de Cristo Jesus nuestro Señor.
3 When I was going into Macedonia, I requested thee to remain at Ephesus, and to charge certain persons not to teach different doctrines;
Como te rogué que te quedases en Efeso, cuando partí para Macedonia, para que requirieses á algunos que no enseñen diversa doctrina,
4 and not to throw themselves into fables and stories about genealogies, of which there is no end, which produce contention rather than edification in the faith of God.
Ni presten atencion á fábulas y genealogías sin término, que ántes engendran cuestiones que la edificacion de Dios, que es por fé, [así te encargo ahora.]
5 Now the end of the command is love, which is from a pure heart, and from a good conscience, and from true faith.
Pues el fin del mandamiento es la caridad [nacida] de corazon limpio y de buena conciencia, y de fé no fingida:
6 But from these some have strayed, and have turned aside to vain words;
De lo cual distrayéndose algunos, se apartaron á vanas platicas;
7 because they wished to be teachers of the law, while they understood not what they speak, nor the thing about which they contend.
Queriendo ser doctores de la ley, sin entender ni lo que hablan, ni lo que afirman.
8 Now, we know, that the law is a good thing, if a man conduct himself in it, according to the law,
Sabemos empero que la ley [es] buena, si alguno usa de ella legítimamente;
9 he knowing that the law was not established for the righteous, but for the evil, and the rebellious, and the ungodly, and the sinful, and the perverse and for the impure, and for smiters of their fathers and smiters of their mothers, and for murderers,
Conociendo esto, que la ley no es puesta para el justo, sino para los injustos, y para los desobedientes, para los impíos y pecadores, para los malos y profanos, para los parricidas y matricidas, para los homicidas,
10 and for whoremongers, and for copulators with males, and for the stealers of free people, and for liars, and for violators of oaths, and for whatever is contrary to sound doctrine,
Para los fornicarios, para los sodomitas, para los ladrones de hombres, para los mentirosos y perjuros; y si hay alguna otra cosa contraria á la sana doctrina,
11 namely that of the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I am intrusted.
Segun el Evangelio de la gloria del Dios bendito, el cual á mí me ha sido encargado.
12 And I thank him who strengthened me, even our Lord Jesus the Messiah; who accounted me faithful, and appointed me to his ministry;
Y doy gracias al que me fortificó, á Cristo Jesus nuestro Señor, de que me tuvo por fiel, poniéndome en el ministerio;
13 me I say, who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a reviler; but I obtained mercy, because I did it while ignorant and without faith.
Habiendo sido ántes blasfemo, y perseguidor, é injuriador: mas fui recibido á misericordia, porque lo hice con ignorancia en incredulidad.
14 And in me the grace of our Lord abounded, and faith and love, which is in Jesus the Messiah.
Mas la gracia de nuestro Señor fué más abundante con la fé y amor que es en Cristo Jesus.
15 Faithful is the declaration, and worthy to be received, that Jesus the Messiah came into the world to give life to sinners, of whom I was the primary.
Palabra fiel, y digna de ser recibida de todos: Que Cristo Jesus vino al mundo para salvar á los pecadores, de los cuales yo soy el primero;
16 But for this cause had he mercy on me, that in me first Jesus the Messiah might display all his long suffering, for an example to them who were to believe on him unto life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Mas por esto fuí recibido á misericordia, para que Jesu-Cristo mostrase en mí el primero toda [su] clemencia, para ejemplo de los que habian de creer en él para vida eterna. (aiōnios g166)
17 And to the king eternal, incorruptible, and invisible, the sole God, be honor and glory for ever and ever! Amen. (aiōn g165)
Por tanto al Rey de siglos, inmortal, invisible, al solo sabio Dios, [sea] honor y gloria por siglos de los siglos. Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 This injunction I commit to thee, my son Timothy, according to the former predictions concerning thee, that in them thou mightest war this good warfare,
Este mandamiento, hijo Timotéo, te encargo, para que, conforme á las profecías pasadas de tí, milites por ellas buena milicia;
19 in faith and a good conscience; for they who have repudiated this, have become destitute of faith;
Manteniendo la fé y buena conciencia, la cual echando de sí algunos, hicieron naufragio en la fé:
20 like Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered up to Satan, that they may learn not to be blasphemers.
De los cuales [son] Hymenéo y Alejandro, que entregué á Satanás, para que aprendan á no blasfemar.
