< 1 Timothy 1 >

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the commandment of God our Saviour and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
ᎠᏴ ᏉᎳ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎠᎩᏅᏏᏛ ᎬᎩᏁᏤᎸᎯ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᎢᎩᏍᏕᎵᏍᎩ ᎠᎴ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎤᏚᎩ ᎬᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎢᎦᏤᎵᎦ,
2 to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3 As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine,
ᎾᏃ ᏥᎬᏔᏲᏎᎸᎩ ᏣᏗᎩᏯᏍᏗᏱ ᎡᏈᏌ, ᎹᏏᏙᏁ ᏥᏩᎩᎶᏒᎩ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᏘᏅᏍᏓᏕᏗᏱ ᎩᎶ ᏓᎾᏕᏲᎲᏍᎬ ᎤᏣᏘᏂ ᎢᏳᏂᏪᏍᏗᏱ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ,
4 and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.
ᎠᎴ ᎤᎾᏛᏓᏍᏙᏗᏱ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎠᏎᏉ ᎦᏬᏂᎯᏍᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᏫᎾᏍᏛᎾ ᎧᏃᎮᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎾᏓᏁᏟᏴᏒᏒᎢ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᏬᏂᎯᏍᏗᏉ ᏥᏩᎵᏱᎶᎯᎭ ᎥᏲᏃ ᎤᏁᎳᏅᎯ ᏗᏁᎳᏙᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᏛᎯᏍᏗᏱ, ᎾᏍᎩ ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᎨᏒ ᏨᏗᏓᎴᎲᏍᎦ, [ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎿᎭᏛᏁᎸᎭ.]
5 But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith,
ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᎠᏓᎨᏳᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎤᎬᏩᎳ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎦᏓᎭ ᏂᎨᏒᎾ ᎣᎾᏫ ᏅᏓᏳᏓᎴᏅᎯ, ᎠᎴ ᎣᏍᏛ ᏗᎫᎪᏙᏗ ᎨᏒ ᎠᎴ ᏄᏠᎾᏍᏛᎾ ᎪᎯᏳᏗ ᎨᏒᎢ;
6 from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,

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

ᎠᏎᏃ ᎢᏗᎦᏔᎭ ᏗᎧᎿᎭᏩᏛᏍᏗ ᎣᏏᏳ ᎨᏒ, ᎢᏳᏃ ᎩᎶ ᎤᏙᎯᏳᎯᏯ ᏱᏓᎧᎿᎭᏩᏕᎦ,
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 murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,

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

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

13 although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

14 The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

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.

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 eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honour and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

18 I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them you may wage the good warfare,
