1 Timothy 1

¹Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to a command of God our Savior, and of the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,

²to Timotheus—genuine child in faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!

³According as I exhorted you to remain in Ephesus—I going on to Macedonia—that you might charge certain ones not to teach any other thing,

⁴nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, that cause questions rather than the stewardship of God which is in faith.

⁵And the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of unhypocritical faith,

⁶from which certain men, having swerved, turned aside to vain discourse,

⁷willing to be teachers of law, not understanding either the things they say, nor concerning what they confidently assert,

⁸and we have known that the Law is good, if anyone may use it lawfully;

⁹having known this, that law is not set for a righteous man, but for lawless and insubordinate persons, ungodly and sinners, impious and profane, murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, manslayers,

¹⁰whoremongers, homosexuals, enslavers, liars, perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is adverse to sound doctrine,

¹¹according to the good news of the glory of the blessed God, with which I was entrusted.

¹²And I give thanks to Him who enabled me—Christ Jesus our Lord—that He reckoned me steadfast, having put me to the ministry,

¹³who before was speaking slander, and persecuting, and insulting, but I found kindness, because, being ignorant, I did it in unbelief,

¹⁴and the grace of our Lord exceedingly abounded, with faith and love that is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁵The word is steadfast, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am first;

¹⁶but because of this I found kindness, that Jesus Christ might first show forth all long-suffering in me, for a pattern of those about to believe on Him to continuous life.

¹⁷And to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only wise God, is honor and glory through the ages of the ages! Amen.

¹⁸I commit to you this charge, child Timotheus, according to the prophecies that went before on you, that you may war in them the good warfare,

¹⁹having faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away, made shipwreck concerning the faith,

²⁰of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be instructed not to speak evil.
