1 Timothy 1:3-20

3Just as I urged you 1upon my departure for 2Macedonia, to remain on at 3Ephesus so that you would instruct certain people not to 4teach strange doctrines, 4nor to 5pay attention to 6myths and endless 7genealogies, which give rise to useless 8speculation rather than 9advance 10the plan of God, which is by faith, so I urge you now. 5But the goal of our 1112instruction is love 13from a pure heart, from a 14good conscience, and from a sincere 15faith. 6Some people have strayed from these things and have turned aside to 16fruitless discussion, 717wanting to be 18teachers 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 19the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, 9realizing the fact that 20law is not made for a righteous person but for those who are lawless and 21rebellious, for the 22ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and 23worldly, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10for the 2425sexually immoral, 26homosexuals, 2728slave traders, 29liars, 30perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to 31sound teaching, 11according to 32the glorious gospel of 33the blessed God, with which I have been 34entrusted.

12I thank 35Christ Jesus our Lord, who has 36strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, 37putting me into service, 13even though I was previously a blasphemer and a 38persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was 39shown mercy because 40I acted ignorantly in unbelief; 14and the 41grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the 42faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus. 1543It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that 44Christ Jesus came into the world to 45save sinners, among whom 46I am foremost. 16Yet for this reason I 47found mercy, so that in me as the foremost sinner Jesus Christ might 48demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those 49who would believe in Him for eternal life. 17Now to the 50King 51eternal, 52immortal, 53invisible, the 54only God, 55be honor and glory 56forever and ever. Amen.

18This 57command I entrust to you, Timothy, 58my 59son, in accordance with the 60prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you 61fight the good fight, 19keeping 62faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to 6364their faith. 2065Among these are 66Hymenaeus and 67Alexander, whom I have 68handed over to Satan, so that they will be 69taught not to blaspheme.
