New American Standard Bible 1995
Misleadings in Doctrine and Living
1PaulG3972, 1an apostleG652 of 2ChristG5547 JesusG2424 3accordingG2596 to the commandmentG2003 of 4GodG2316 our SaviorG4990, and of 5ChristG5547 JesusG2424, who is our 6hopeG1680,
2To 7TimothyG5095, 8my trueG1103 childG5043 in the faithG4102: 9GraceG5485, mercyG1656 and peaceG1515 from GodG2316 the FatherG3962 and 10ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962.
3As I urgedG3870 you 11upon my departureG4198 for 12MacedoniaG3109, 13remainG4357 on at 14EphesusG2181 soG2443 that you may instructG3853 certainG5100 menG5100 not to 15teachG2085 strangeG2085 doctrinesG2085, 4norG3366 to 16payG4337 attentionG4337 to 17mythsG3454 and endlessG562 18genealogiesG1076, whichG3748 giveG3930 riseG3930 to mere 19speculationG1567 ratherG3123 thanG2228 20furthering 21the administrationG3622 of GodG2316 which is by faithG4102. 5But the goalG5056 of our 2223instructionG3852 is loveG26 24from a pureG2513 heartG2588 and a 25goodG18 conscienceG4893 and a sincereG505 26faithG4102. 6For someG5100 menG5100, strayingG795 from theseG3739 thingsG3739, have turnedG1624 asideG1624 to 27fruitlessG3150 discussionG3150, 728wantingG2309 to be 29teachersG3547 of the LawG3547, even though they do not understandG3539 eitherG3383 whatG3739 they are sayingG3004 orG3383 the matters aboutG4012 whichG5101 they makeG1226 confidentG1226 assertionsG1226.
8But we knowG3609 that 30the LawG3551 is goodG2570, ifG1437 oneG5100 usesG5530 it lawfullyG3545, 9realizingG3609 the factG3778 that 31lawG3551 is not madeG2749 for a righteousG1342 personG1342, but for those who are lawlessG459 and 32rebelliousG506, for the 33ungodlyG765 and sinnersG268, for the unholyG462 and 34profaneG952, for those who killG3970G3389 their fathersG3970 orG2532 mothersG3389, for murderersG409 1035and 3637immoralG4205 menG4205 38and 39homosexualsG733 40and 41kidnappersG405 42and 43liarsG5583 44and 45perjurersG1965, and whateverG1487G5100 elseG2087 is contraryG480 to 46soundG5198 teachingG1319, 11accordingG2596 to 47the gloriousG1391 gospelG2098 of 48the blessedG3107 GodG2316, with whichG3739 I have been 49entrustedG4100.
12I thankG5485 50ChristG5547 JesusG2424 our LordG2962, who has 51strengthenedG1743 me, becauseG3754 He consideredG2233 me faithfulG4103, 52puttingG5087 me into serviceG1248, 13even though I was formerlyG4387 a blasphemerG989 and a 53persecutorG1376 and a violentG5197 aggressorG5197. YetG235 I was 54shownG1653 mercyG1653 becauseG3754 55I actedG4160 ignorantlyG50 in unbeliefG570; 14and the 56graceG5485 of our LordG2962 was moreG5250 thanG5250 abundantG5250, with the 57faithG4102 and loveG26 which are found in ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 1558It is a trustworthyG4103 statementG3056, deservingG514 fullG3956 acceptanceG594, that 59ChristG5547 JesusG2424 cameG2064 into the worldG2889 to 60saveG4982 sinnersG268, among whomG3739 61I amG1510 foremostG4413 of all. 16YetG235 for thisG3778 reasonG1223 I 62foundG1653 mercyG1653, soG2443 that in me as the foremostG4413, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 might 63demonstrateG1731 His perfectG537 patienceG3115 as an exampleG5296 for thoseG3588 64who wouldG3195 believeG4100 in Him for eternalG166 lifeG2222. 17NowG1161 to the 65KingG935 66eternalG165, 67immortalG862, 68invisibleG517, the 69onlyG3441 GodG2316, 70be honorG5092 and gloryG1391 71foreverG165 and everG165. AmenG281.
18ThisG3778 72commandG3852 I entrustG3908 to you, TimothyG5095, 73my 74sonG5043, in accordanceG2596 with the 75propheciesG4394 previouslyG4254 madeG4254 concerningG1909 you, that by them you 76fightG4754 the goodG2570 fightG4752, 19keepingG2192 77faithG4102 and a goodG18 conscienceG4893, whichG3739 someG5100 have rejectedG683 and sufferedG3489 shipwreckG3489 in regardG4012 to 7879their faithG4102. 2080Among theseG3739 are 81HymenaeusG5211 and 82AlexanderG223, whomG3739 I have 83handedG3860 overG3860 to SatanG4567, soG2443 that they will be 84taughtG3811 not to blasphemeG987.
