False Doctrine and Misuse of the Law

3As I urged you when I went to Macedonia, # 1:3 Ac 16:9 remain in Ephesus # 1:3 Eph 1:1 so that you may instruct certain people # 1:3 Jd 4 not to teach false doctrine 4or to pay attention to myths # 1:4 1Tm 4:7; 2Tm 4:4; Ti 1:14; 2Pt 1:16 and endless genealogies. These promote empty speculations rather than God’s plan, # 1:4 Eph 1:10; 3:2,9; Col 1:25 which operates by faith. 5Now the goal of our instruction is love # 1:5 Rm 13:10 that comes from a pure heart, # 1:5 Ps 24:4; 2Tm 2:22; 1Pt 1:22 a good conscience, # 1:5 Ac 23:1; 24:16; Rm 9:1; 2Co 1:12; 1Tm 1:19; 3:9; Heb 10:22; 1Pt 3:21 and a sincere faith. # 1:5 2Tm 1:5 6Some have departed from these and turned aside to fruitless discussion. 7They want to be teachers of the law, although they don’t understand what they are saying or what they are insisting on. 8But we know that the law is good, # 1:8 Rm 7:12,16 provided one uses it legitimately. 9We know that the law is not meant for a righteous person, but for the lawless and rebellious, # 1:9 Ti 1:6,10; Heb 2:8 for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and irreverent, for those who kill their fathers and mothers, for murderers, 10for the sexually immoral # 1:10 1Co 5:9 and males who have sex with males, # 1:10 Gn 19:5; Rm 1:27; 1Co 6:9 for slave traders, liars, # 1:10 Jn 8:44 perjurers, and for whatever else is contrary to the sound teaching # 1:10 1Tm 6:3; 2Tm 1:13; Ti 1:9; 2:1 11that conforms to the gospel # 1:11 2Co 4:4 concerning the glory of the blessed God, # 1:11 1Tm 6:15 which was entrusted to me. # 1:11 Lv 6:4; Lk 12:48; 1Co 9:17; Gl 2:7; 1Th 2:4; 1Tm 1:11; 6:20; 2Tm 1:12,14; Ti 1:3

Paul’s Testimony

12I give thanks to Christ Jesus our Lord who has strengthened # 1:12 Ac 9:22; Php 4:13 me, because he considered me faithful, appointing me to the ministry — 13even though I was formerly a blasphemer, # 1:13 Ac 6:11; 2Tm 3:2; 2Pt 2:11 a persecutor, # 1:13 Php 3:6 and an arrogant man. # 1:13 1Co 15:8 But I received mercy because I acted out of ignorance in unbelief, 14and the grace of our Lord overflowed, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 15This saying is trustworthy # 1:15 1Tm 3:1; 4:9; 2Tm 2:11; Ti 3:8 and deserving of full acceptance: “Christ Jesus came into the world # 1:15 Jn 3:17; 12:46; 18:37; 1Jn 4:9 to save sinners” # 1:15 Mk 2:17; Lk 19:10; Rm 11:4 — and I am the worst of them. # 1:15 1Co 15:9 16But I received mercy # 1:16 Lk 1:50 for this reason, so that in me, the worst of them, Christ Jesus might demonstrate his extraordinary patience # 1:16 Ex 34:6; Rm 2:4 as an example to those who would believe in him for eternal life. # 1:16 Jn 12:25; Ac 13:48 17Now to the King # 1:17 Ps 47:7 eternal, # 1:17 Ps 90:2 immortal, # 1:17 1Co 9:25 invisible, the only # 1:17 Other mss add wise God, # 1:17 Jn 5:44; 1Co 8:6; Eph 4:6; 1Tm 2:5; 6:15; Jd 25 be honor # 1:17 2Pt 1:17; Rv 5:12 and glory # 1:17 Mk 10:37 forever and ever. Amen. # 1:17 Php 4:20; 1Tm 6:16; Rv 22:21

Engage in Battle

18Timothy, my son, I am giving you this instruction in keeping with the prophecies # 1:18 1Co 13:2; 1Tm 4:14; 2Tm 1:6 previously made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the good fight, 19having faith # 1:19 Eph 3:12; 6:16; Col 1:23; 2:5; 1Th 5:8; 1Tm 3:13; 6:12; 2Tm 4:7; 1Jn 5:4 and a good conscience, # 1:19 Heb 10:22 which some # 1:19 2Tm 2:18; Jd 4 have rejected and have shipwrecked the faith. 20Among them are Hymenaeus # 1:20 2Tm 2:17 and Alexander, # 1:20 2Tm 4:14 whom I have delivered to Satan, # 1:20 1Co 5:5 so that they may be taught not to blaspheme.

1 Timotiyos 1

1From Sha'ul, a Shliach of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua according to the authoritative command of the Dvar Hashem, that is, Hashem Moshieinu and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua tikvateynu.

2To Timotiyos,#1:2 Ac 16:1 a trueborn ben baEmunah (son in the faith). Chesed Hashem, Rachamim Hashem, and Shalom Hashem from Elohim Avinu and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu.

3Even as I urged you to remain in Ephesus while I was going into Macedonia so that you might enjoin the gzeira (authoritative command) on certain persons not to teach heterodoxy, 4Nor to focus on aggadah#1:4 Ti 1:14 and endless toldot (genealogies) which give rise to useless speculations in contrast to Hashemʼs imun (training) in emunah. 5But the tachlis (purpose) of the gzeira#1:5 1:3 is ahavah (love) out of a lev tahor (pure heart) and a clear matzpun (conscience) and emunah (faith) without tzevi'ut (hypocrisy). 6Some people#1:6 1:3 have missed the mark and deviated from these things to hevel (vanity), to divrei havohu (words of emptiness). 7Wanting to teach Torah as rabbonim, they have binah neither of what they are talking about nor of the things about which they so confidently make assertions.

8But we know that the Torah is beneficial if anyoneʼs use of Torah is Torah-true. 9This means one must have da'as that the Torah#1:9 in reference to the mitzvot lo ta'aseh, the negative commandments, lo tachmod, lo tirtzach, lo tinaf, etc. is not intended for the anshei tzedek (men of righteousness) but for the bnei Belial and the poshei'im (the ones transgressing, rebelling), those without yirat Shomayim and the chote'im (sinners), osei to'eva (doers of abomination), profane people, killers of their own Av va'Em (father and mother),#1:9 Ex 21:15 and rotzeachim (murderers), 10Zannayim (fornicators), shochvim es zachar (homosexuals), gonvei nefesh#1:10 Ex 21:16 (kidnapper, slave dealers), shakranim (liars), nishba'im lasheker (perjurers) and whatever else is keneged (against) sound orthodox torah,#1:10 Moshiachʼs Torah in correct Messianic teaching 11According to the Besuras HaGeulah kavod haElohim ham'vorach (the Good News of Redemption of the glory of the blessed G-d) with which I#1:11 Rav Sha'ul was entrusted.

12Modeh ani (I give thanks) to the one having empowered me, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu, because he considered me ne'eman (faithful), having appointed me to the rabbanut of Moshiach.#1:12 i.e., Messianic ministry 13Previously being one guilty of Chillul Hashem gidduf (blasphemy), redifah (persecution), and [religious] terrorism, fort (nevertheless), I received rachamim (mercy), because I acted in#1:13 unregenerate ignorance in the absence of emunah. 14And the Chen vaChesed Adoneinu super-abounded with emunah and ahavah in Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua. 15Trustworthy is the dvar Emes and worthy of all mekabel acceptance, that Rebbe, Melech, HaMoshiach Yehoshua came into the Olam Hazeh to rescue chote'im, of whom I am the foremost. 16But because of this, I received rachamim that in me, the foremost, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua might display all savlanut (longsuffering, patience), making me a mofet (model) to the ones about to have bitachon (trust) and emunah in Moshiach, resulting in Chayyei Olam. 17Now to HaMelech HaOlamim, the One who is Ein Sof (without end), Whom no eye has seen, Adonoi echad, lo hakavod v'hatiferet mayhaolam v'ad haolam (to him be honor and glory from forever to forever). Omein.

18This gzeira#1:18 1:3 I commit to you, beni Timotiyos, according to hanevu'ot#1:18 4:14 (the prophecies) made previously about you, that by them you might war the good warfare, 19Holding emunah and a clear matzpun (conscience), which some persons,#1:19 1:3 because they pushed aside a clear matzpun,#1:19 1:5 have suffered shipwreck in the#1:19 Orthodox Jewish emunah. 20Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I handed over to HaSatan, that they might be taught not to commit Chillul Hashem gidduf.
