1st Timothy Chapter 1 Young's Literal Translation

1st Timothy 1:1

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

1st Timothy 1:2

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

1st Timothy 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,

1st Timothy 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: --

1st Timothy 1:5

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

1st Timothy 1:6

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

1st Timothy 1:7

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

1st Timothy 1:8

and we have known that the law `is' good, if any one may use it lawfully;

1st Timothy 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,

1st Timothy 1:10

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

1st Timothy 1:11

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

1st Timothy 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,

1st Timothy 1:13

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

1st Timothy 1:14

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

1st Timothy 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;

1st Timothy 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:

1st Timothy 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.

1st Timothy 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,

1st Timothy 1:19

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

1st Timothy 1:20

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