1. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to a command of God our Saviour, and of the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
|
1. Paul G3972 , an apostle G652 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 by G2596 the commandment G2003 of God G2316 our G2257 Savior G4990 , and G2532 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 , which is our G2257 hope G1680 ;
|
|
2. to Timotheus -- genuine child in faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord,
|
2. Unto Timothy G5095 , my own G1103 son G5043 in G1722 the faith G4102 : Grace G5485 , mercy G1656 , and peace G1515 , from G575 God G2316 our G2257 Father G3962 and G2532 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 our G2257 Lord G2962 .
|
|
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,
|
3. As G2531 I besought G3870 thee G4571 to abide still G4357 at G1722 Ephesus G2181 , when I went G4198 into G1519 Macedonia G3109 , that G2443 thou mightest charge G3853 some G5100 that they teach no other doctrine G2085 G3361 ,
|
|
4. nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, that cause questions rather than the building up of God that is in faith: --
|
4. Neither G3366 give heed G4337 to fables G3454 and G2532 endless G562 genealogies G1076 , which G3748 minister G3930 questions G2214 , rather G3123 than G2228 godly G2316 edifying G3622 which G3588 is in G1722 faith G4102 : so do.
|
|
5. And the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned,
|
5. Now G1161 the G3588 end G5056 of the G3588 commandment G3852 is G2076 charity G26 out of G1537 a pure G2513 heart G2588 , and G2532 of a good G18 conscience G4893 , and G2532 of faith G4102 unfeigned G505 :
|
|
6. from which certain, having swerved, did turn aside to vain discourse,
|
6. From which G3739 some G5100 having swerved G795 have turned aside G1624 unto G1519 vain jangling G3150 ;
|
|
7. willing to be teachers of law, not understanding either the things they say, nor concerning what they asseverate,
|
7. Desiring G2309 to be G1511 teachers of the law G3547 ; understanding G3539 neither G3383 what G3739 they say G3004 , nor G3383 whereof G4012 G5101 they affirm G1226 .
|
|
8. and we have known that the law is good, if any one may use it lawfully;
|
8. But G1161 we know G1492 that G3754 the G3588 law G3551 is good G2570 , if G1437 a man G5100 use G5530 it G846 lawfully G3545 ;
|
|
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,
|
9. Knowing G1492 this G5124 , that G3754 the law G3551 is not G3756 made G2749 for a righteous man G1342 , but G1161 for the lawless G459 and G2532 disobedient G506 , for the ungodly G765 and G2532 for sinners G268 , for unholy G462 and G2532 profane G952 , for murderers of fathers G3964 and G2532 murderers of mothers G3389 , for manslayers G409 ,
|
|
10. whoremongers, sodomites, men-stealers, liars, perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that to sound doctrine is adverse,
|
10. For whoremongers G4205 , for them that defile themselves with mankind G733 , for menstealers G405 , for liars G5583 , for perjured persons G1965 , and G2532 if there be any G1536 other thing G2087 that is contrary G480 to sound G5198 doctrine G1319 ;
|
|
11. according to the good news of the glory of the blessed God, with which I was entrusted.
|
11. According G2596 to the G3588 glorious G1391 gospel G2098 of the G3588 blessed G3107 God G2316 , which G3739 was committed G4100 to my trust G1473 .
|
|
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,
|
12. And G2532 I thank G2192 G5485 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 our G2257 Lord G2962 , who hath enabled G1743 me G3165 , for that G3754 he counted G2233 me G3165 faithful G4103 , putting G5087 me into G1519 the ministry G1248 ;
|
|
13. who before was speaking evil, and persecuting, and insulting, but I found kindness, because, being ignorant, I did it in unbelief,
|
13. Who was G5607 before G4386 a blasphemer G989 , and G2532 a persecutor G1376 , and G2532 injurious G5197 : but G235 I obtained mercy G1653 , because G3754 I did G4160 it ignorantly G50 in G1722 unbelief G570 .
|
|
14. and exceedingly abound did the grace of our Lord, with faith and love that is in Christ Jesus:
|
14. And G1161 the G3588 grace G5485 of our G2257 Lord G2962 was exceeding abundant G5250 with G3326 faith G4102 and G2532 love G26 which G3588 is in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 .
|
|
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;
|
15. This is a faithful G4103 saying G3056 , and G2532 worthy G514 of all G3956 acceptation G594 , that G3754 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 came G2064 into G1519 the G3588 world G2889 to save G4982 sinners G268 ; of whom G3739 I G1473 am G1510 chief G4413 .
|
|
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:
|
16. Howbeit G235 for this cause G1223 G5124 I obtained mercy G1653 , that G2443 in G1722 me G1698 first G4413 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 might show forth G1731 all G3956 longsuffering G3115 , for G4314 a pattern G5296 to them which should hereafter G3195 believe G4100 on G1909 him G846 to G1519 life G2222 everlasting G166 .
|
|
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.
|
17. Now G1161 unto the G3588 King G935 eternal G165 , immortal G862 , invisible G517 , the only G3441 wise G4680 God G2316 , be honor G5092 and G2532 glory G1391 forever and ever G1519 G165 G165 . Amen G281 .
|
|
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,
|
18. This G5026 charge G3852 I commit G3908 unto thee G4671 , son G5043 Timothy G5095 , according G2596 to the G3588 prophecies G4394 which went before G4254 on G1909 thee G4571 , that G2443 thou by G1722 them G846 mightest war G4754 a good G2570 warfare G4752 ;
|
|
19. having faith and a good conscience, which certain having thrust away, concerning the faith did make shipwreck,
|
19. Holding G2192 faith G4102 , and G2532 a good G18 conscience G4893 ; which G3739 some G5100 having put away G683 concerning G4012 faith G4102 have made shipwreck G3489 :
|
|
20. of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I did deliver to the Adversary, that they might be instructed not to speak evil.
|
20. Of whom G3739 is G2076 Hymenaeus G5211 and G2532 Alexander G223 ; whom G3739 I have delivered G3860 unto Satan G4567 , that G2443 they may learn G3811 not G3361 to blaspheme G987 .
