1 Timothy 1
1 Timothy is put in mind of the charge which was given unto him by Paul at his going to Macedonia. 5 Of the right use and end of the Law. 11 Of Paul's calling to be an apostle, 20 and of Hymeneus and Alexander.
1:1
Paul 3972, an apostle 652 of Christ 5547 Jesus 2424 according 2596 to the commandment 2003 of God 2316 our Savior 4990, and of Christ 5547 Jesus 2424, [who is] our hope 1680,
1:2
¶ To Timothy 5095, [my] true 1103 child 5043 in [the] faith 4102: Grace 5485, mercy 1656 [and] peace 1515 from God 2316 the Father 3962 and Christ 5547 Jesus 2424 our Lord 2962.
1:3
¶ As I urged 3870 you upon my departure 4198 for Macedonia 3109, remain 4357 on at Ephesus 2181 so 2443 that you may instruct 3853 certain 5100 men 5100 not to teach 2085 strange 2085 doctrines 2085,
1:4
nor 3366 to pay 4337 attention 4337 to myths 3454 and endless 562 genealogies 1076, which 3748 give 3930 rise 3930 to mere speculation 1567b rather 3123 than 2228 [furthering] the administration 3622 of God 2316 which is by faith 4102.
1:5
But the goal 5056 of our instruction 3852 is love 26 from a pure 2513 heart 2588 and a good 18 conscience 4893 and a sincere 505 faith 4102.
1:6
For some 5100 men 5100, straying 795 from these 3739 things 3739, have turned 1624 aside 1624 to fruitless 3150 discussion 3150,
1:7
wanting 2309 to be teachers 3547 of the Law 3547, even though they do not understand 3539 either 3383 what 3739 they are saying 3004 or 3383 the matters about 4012 which 5101 they make 1226 confident 1226 assertions 1226.
1:8
¶ But we know 3609a that the Law 3551 is good 2570, if 1437 one 5100 uses 5530 it lawfully 3545,
1:9
realizing 3609a the fact 3778 that law 3551 is not made 2749 for a righteous 1342 person 1342, but for those who are lawless 459 and rebellious 506, for the ungodly 765 and sinners 268, for the unholy 462 and profane 952, for those who kill 3970a 3389 their fathers 3970a or 2532 mothers 3389, for murderers 409
1:10
and immoral 4205 men 4205 and homosexuals 733a and kidnappers 405 and liars 5583 and perjurers 1965, and whatever 1487 5100 else 2087 is contrary 480 to sound 5198 teaching 1319,
1:11
according 2596 to the glorious 1391 gospel 2098 of the blessed 3107 God 2316, with which 3739 I have been entrusted 4100.
1:12
¶ I thank 5485 Christ 5547 Jesus 2424 our Lord 2962, who has strengthened 1743 me, because 3754 He considered 2233 me faithful 4103, putting 5087 me into service 1248,
1:13
even though I was formerly 4387 a blasphemer 989 and a persecutor 1376 and a violent 5197 aggressor 5197. Yet 235 I was shown 1653 mercy 1653 because 3754 I acted 4160 ignorantly 50 in unbelief 570;
1:14
and the grace 5485 of our Lord 2962 was more 5250 than 5250 abundant 5250, with the faith 4102 and love 26 which are [found] in Christ 5547 Jesus 2424.
1:15
It is a trustworthy 4103 statement 3056, deserving 514 full 3956 acceptance 594, that Christ 5547 Jesus 2424 came 2064 into the world 2889 to save 4982 sinners 268, among whom 3739 I am 1510 foremost 4413 [of all].
1:16
Yet 235 for this 3778 reason 1223 I found 1653 mercy 1653, so 2443 that in me as the foremost 4413, Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 might demonstrate 1731 His perfect 537a patience 3115 as an example 5296 for those 3588 who would 3195 believe 4100 in Him for eternal 166 life 2222.
1:17
Now 1161 to the King 935 eternal 165, immortal 862a, invisible 517, the only 3441 God 2316, [be] honor 5092 and glory 1391 forever 165 and ever 165. Amen 281.
1:18
¶ This 3778 command 3852 I entrust 3908 to you, Timothy 5095, [my] son 5043, in accordance 2596 with the prophecies 4394 previously 4254 made 4254 concerning 1909 you, that by them you fight 4754 the good 2570 fight 4752,
1:19
keeping 2192 faith 4102 and a good 18 conscience 4893, which 3739 some 5100 have rejected 683 and suffered 3489 shipwreck 3489 in regard 4012 to their faith 4102.
1:20
Among these 3739 are Hymenaeus 5211 and Alexander 223, whom 3739 I have handed 3860 over 3860 to Satan 4567, so 2443 that they will be taught 3811 not to blaspheme 987.
