Sha'ul�s First Letter to Timothy, Chapter 1
{1:1} Sha'ul, an apostle of Messiah Yeshua according to the
[1>]mitzvah[<1] of God, our Savior, and Messiah Yeshua, our hope;
{1:2} to Timothy, my true child in faith:
Grace, mercy, and shalom, from God our Father, and Messiah Yeshua,
our Lord.
{1:3} As I exhorted you to stay at Ephesus, when I was going into
Macedonia, that you might charge 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 end of the charge is love, out of a
pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned 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 as chief, Yeshua the Messiah might display all his
patience, for an example of those who were going to believe in him to
eternal life. {1:17} Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to
God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amein.
{1:18} This charge 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 Hasatan, that
they might be taught not to blaspheme.
