 <<  1 Timotius 1 >> 

1Greetings from Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus. I am an apostle by the command of God our Savior and Christ Jesus our hope.

2To Timothy, a true son to me in the faith we share. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Warnings Against False Teachings

3When I went to Macedonia, I asked you to stay in Ephesus. Some people there are teaching things that are not true, and I want you to tell them to stop.

4Tell them not to give their time to meaningless stories and to long lists of names to prove their family histories. Such things only cause arguments. They don’t help God’s work, which is done only by faith.

5My purpose in telling you to do this is to promote love—the kind of love shown by those whose thoughts are pure, who do what they know is right, and whose faith in God is real.

6But some have missed this key point in their teaching and have gone off in another direction. Now they talk about things that help no one.

7They want to be teachers of the law, but they don’t know what they are talking about. They don’t even understand the things they say they are sure of.

8We know that the law is good if someone uses it right.

9We also know that the law is not made for those who do what is right. It is made for those who are against the law and refuse to follow it. The law is for sinners who are against God and all that is pleasing to him. It is for those who have no interest in spiritual things and for those who kill their fathers or mothers or anyone else.

10It is for those who commit sexual sins, homosexuals, those who sell slaves, those who tell lies, those who don’t tell the truth under oath, and those who are against the true teaching of God.

11That teaching is part of the Good News that our blessed God gave me to tell. In it we see his glory.

Thanks for God’s Mercy

12I thank Christ Jesus our Lord because he trusted me and gave me this work of serving him. He gives me strength.

13In the past I insulted Christ. As a proud and violent man, I persecuted his people. But God gave me mercy because I did not know what I was doing. I did that before I became a believer.

14But our Lord gave me a full measure of his grace. And with that grace came the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

15Here is a true statement that should be accepted without question: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, and I am the worst of them.

16But I was given mercy so that in me Christ Jesus could show that he has patience without limit. Christ showed his patience with me, the worst of all sinners. He wanted me to be an example for those who would believe in him and have eternal life.

17Honor and glory to the King who rules forever. He cannot be destroyed and cannot be seen. Honor and glory forever and ever to the only God. Amen.

18Timothy, you are like a son to me. What I am telling you to do agrees with the prophecies that were told about you in the past. I want you to remember those prophecies and fight the good fight of faith.

19Continue to trust in God and do what you know is right. Some people have not done this, and their faith is now in ruins.

20Hymenaeus and Alexander are men like that. I have given them to Satan so that they will learn not to speak against God.
