1 Timothy 1

Misleadings in Doctrine and Living

1Paul, 1an apostle of 2Christ Jesus 3according to the commandment of 4God our Savior, and of 5Christ Jesus, who is our 6hope,

2To 7Timothy, 8my true child in the faith: 9Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and 10Christ Jesus our Lord.

3As I urged you 11upon my departure for 12Macedonia, 13remain on at 14Ephesus so that you may instruct certain men not to 15teach strange doctrines, 4nor to 16pay attention to 17myths and endless 18genealogies, which give rise to mere 19speculation rather than 20furthering 21the administration of God which is by faith. 5But the goal of our 2223instruction is love 24from a pure heart and a 25good conscience and a sincere 26faith. 6For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to 27fruitless discussion, 728wanting to be 29teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions.

8But we know that 30the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, 9realizing the fact that 31law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and 32rebellious, for the 33ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and 34profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers 1035and 3637immoral men 38and 39homosexuals 40and 41kidnappers 42and 43liars 44and 45perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to 46sound teaching, 11according to 47the glorious gospel of 48the blessed God, with which I have been 49entrusted.

12I thank 50Christ Jesus our Lord, who has 51strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, 52putting me into service, 13even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a 53persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was 54shown mercy because 55I acted ignorantly in unbelief; 14and the 56grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the 57faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus. 1558It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that 59Christ Jesus came into the world to 60save sinners, among whom 61I am foremost of all. 16Yet for this reason I 62found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might 63demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those 64who would believe in Him for eternal life. 17Now to the 65King 66eternal, 67immortal, 68invisible, the 69only God, 70be honor and glory 71forever and ever. Amen.

18This 72command I entrust to you, Timothy, 73my 74son, in accordance with the 75prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you 76fight the good fight, 19keeping 77faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to 7879their faith. 2080Among these are 81Hymenaeus and 82Alexander, whom I have 83handed over to Satan, so that they will be 84taught not to blaspheme.
