YLT - I Timothy - 1

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

1:2  to Timotheus--genuine child in faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord,

1:3  according as I did exhort thee to remain in Ephesus--I going on to Macedonia--that thou mightest charge certain not to teach any other thing,

1:4  nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, that cause questions rather than the building up of God that is in faith: --

1:5  And the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned,

1:6  from which certain, having swerved, did turn aside to vain discourse,

1:7  willing to be teachers of law, not understanding either the things they say, nor concerning what they asseverate,

1:8  and we have known that the law is good, if any one may use it lawfully;

1:9  having known this, that for a righteous man law is not set, but for lawless and insubordinate persons, ungodly and sinners, impious and profane, parricides and matricides, men-slayers,

1:10  whoremongers, sodomites, men-stealers, liars, perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that to sound doctrine is adverse,

1:11  according to the good news of the glory of the blessed God, with which I was entrusted.

1:12  And I give thanks to him who enabled me--Christ Jesus our Lord--that he did reckon me stedfast, having put me to the ministration,

1:13  who before was speaking evil, and persecuting, and insulting, but I found kindness, because, being ignorant, I did it in unbelief,

1:14  and exceedingly abound did the grace of our Lord, with faith and love that is in Christ Jesus:

1:15  stedfast is the word, and of all acceptation worthy, that Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners--first of whom I am;

1:16  but because of this I found kindness, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern of those about to believe on him to life age-during:

1:17  and to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only wise God, is honour and glory--to the ages of the ages! Amen.

1:18  This charge I commit to thee, child Timotheus, according to the prophesies that went before upon thee, that thou mayest war in them the good warfare,

1:19  having faith and a good conscience, which certain having thrust away, concerning the faith did make shipwreck,

1:20  of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I did deliver to the Adversary, that they might be instructed not to speak evil.
