Paul’s First Letter to Timothy
1. fejezet
1. vers
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
2. vers
to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3. vers
As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine,
4. vers
and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.
5. vers
But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith,
6. vers
from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,
7. vers
desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say nor about what they strongly affirm.
8. vers
But we know that the law is good if a person uses it lawfully,
9. vers
as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10. vers
for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,
11. vers
according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
12. vers
I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service,
13. vers
although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
14. vers
The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
15. vers
The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
16. vers
However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life.
17. vers
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
18. vers
I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them you may wage the good warfare,
19. vers
holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith,
20. vers
of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
