1 Timothy 1
1
Greeting
1Paul, an emissary of Messiah Yeshua by the command of God our Savior and Messiah Yeshua, our hope.
2To Timothy, a true child in faith: Grace, mercy, shalom from God the Father and Messiah Yeshua, our Lord!
Beware of False Teachers
3As I urged you, when I was leaving for Macedonia, stay in Ephesus to direct certain people not to pass on different instruction,
4or to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies. These give rise to useless speculations rather than God’s training which is in faithfulness.
5Now the goal of this command is love from of a pure heart and a clear conscience and a genuine faith.
6Some, having missed the mark, have turned away to fruitless discussion—
7wanting to be teachers of Torah, even though they do not understand what they keep saying or what they so dogmatically assert.
8But we know that the Torah is good if one uses it legitimately,
9knowing that the Torah is not given for a tzaddik but for the lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and worldly, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers,
10the sexually immoral, homosexuals, slave-traders, liars, perjurers, and for anything else that opposes sound teaching—
11in keeping with what was entrusted to me, the glorious Good News of the blessed God.
Mercy to the Worst of Sinners
12I thank Messiah Yeshua our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, appointing me to service—
13even though I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a violent man. Yet I was shown mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief,
14and the grace of our Lord overflowed with the faith and love that are in Messiah Yeshua.
15Trustworthy is the saying and deserving of complete acceptance: “Messiah Yeshua came into the world to save sinners”—of whom I am foremost.
16Yet for this reason I was shown mercy—so that in me as the foremost, Messiah Yeshua might demonstrate His complete patience, as an example for those about to put their trust in Him for eternal life.
17Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
Fight the Good Fight
18This charge I entrust to you, Timothy my son, in keeping with the prophecies once spoken about you, so that by them you fight the good fight,
19holding onto faith and a good conscience. By rejecting these, some have suffered shipwreck regarding their faith.
20Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander—whom I have handed over to satan to be disciplined not to blaspheme.

1 Timothy 1

Salutation
1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;
2 #
Acts 16.1. Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith:
Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father, and Jesus Christ our Lord.
Warning against False Doctrine
3As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedo´nia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, 4neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. 5Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: 6from which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; 7desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
8But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; 9knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; 11according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
Paul's Thankfulness for Mercy
12And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; 13#Acts 8.3; 9.4,5. who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. 14And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 15This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 16Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. 17Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
18This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; 19holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away, concerning faith have made shipwreck: 20of whom is Hymene´us and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
