Paul's First Letter to Timothy, Chapter 1
{1:1} Paul, an emissary of Messiah Yeshua according to the
commandment of God our Savior, and Messiah Yeshua our hope; {1:2} to
Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our
Father and Messiah Yeshua our Lord.
{1:3} 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, {1:4} neither to pay attention to myths and endless
genealogies, which cause disputes, rather than God's stewardship,
which is in faith--{1:5} but the goal of this command is love, out of
a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith; {1:6} from which
things some, having missed the mark, have turned aside to vain
talking; {1:7} desiring to be teachers of the law, though they
understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm.
{1:8} But we know that the law is good, if a man uses it lawfully,
{1:9} as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, 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, {1:10} for the sexually immoral, for
homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any
other thing contrary to the sound doctrine; {1:11} according to the
Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my
trust. {1:12} And I thank him who enabled me, Messiah Yeshua our Lord,
because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service; {1:13}
although I was before a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent.
However, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
{1:14} The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love
which is in Messiah Yeshua. {1:15} The saying is faithful and worthy
of all acceptance, that Messiah Yeshua came into the world to save
sinners; of whom I am chief. {1:16} However, for this cause I obtained
mercy, that in me first, Yeshua the Messiah might display all his
patience, for an example of those who were going to believe in him for
eternal life. {1:17} Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to
God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
{1:18} 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; {1:19} holding faith and a good conscience; which
some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith; {1:20}
of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I delivered to Satan, that
they might be taught not to blaspheme.
