1 Tim 1:1

& Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and of Christ Jesus, {who is} our hope,

1 Tim 1:2

& To Timothy, {my} true child in {the} faith: Grace, mercy {and} peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

1 Tim 1:3

& As I urged you upon my departure for Macedonia, remain on at Ephesus so that you may instruct certain men not to teach strange doctrines,

1 Tim 1:4

& nor to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to mere speculation rather than {furthering} the administration of God which is by faith.

1 Tim 1:5

& But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

1 Tim 1:6

& For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion,

1 Tim 1:7

& wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions.

1 Tim 1:8

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

1 Tim 1:9

& realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers

1 Tim 1:10

& and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching,

1 Tim 1:11

& according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.

1 Tim 1:12

& I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service,

1 Tim 1:13

& even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief;

1 Tim 1:14

& and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are {found} in Christ Jesus.

1 Tim 1:15

& It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost {of all.}

1 Tim 1:16

& Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life.

1 Tim 1:17

& Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, {be} honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

1 Tim 1:18

& This command I entrust to you, Timothy, {my} son, in accordance with the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you fight the good fight,

1 Tim 1:19

& keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith.

1 Tim 1:20

& Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan, so that they will be taught not to blaspheme.
