 <<  1 Timotius 1 >> 

1I, Paul, am an apostle on special assignment for Christ, our living hope. Under God our Savior's command,

2I'm writing this to you, Timothy, my son in the faith. All the best from our God and Christ be yours!

3On my way to the province of Macedonia, I advised you to stay in Ephesus. Well, I haven't changed my mind. Stay right there on top of things so that the teaching stays on track.

4Apparently some people have been introducing fantasy stories and fanciful family trees that digress into silliness instead of pulling the people back into the center, deepening faith and obedience.

5The whole point of what we're urging is simply love--[love] uncontaminated by self-interest and counterfeit faith, a life open to God.

6Those who fail to keep to this point soon wander off into cul-de-sacs of gossip.

7They set themselves up as experts on religious issues, but haven't the remotest idea of what they're holding forth with such imposing eloquence.

8It's true that moral guidance and counsel need to be given, but the way you say it and to whom you say it are as important as what you say.

9It's obvious, isn't it, that the law code isn't primarily for people who live responsibly, but for the irresponsible, who defy all authority, riding roughshod over God, life,

10sex, truth, whatever!

11They are contemptuous of this great Message I've been put in charge of by this great God.

12I'm so grateful to Christ Jesus for making me adequate to do this work. He went out on a limb, you know, in trusting me with this ministry.

13The only credentials I brought to it were invective and witch hunts and arrogance. But I was treated mercifully because I didn't know what I was doing--didn't know Who I was doing it against!

14Grace mixed with faith and love poured over me and into me. And all because of Jesus.

15Here's a word you can take to heart and depend on: Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. I'm proof--Public Sinner Number One--

16of someone who could never have made it apart from sheer mercy. And now he shows me off--evidence of his endless patience--to those who are right on the edge of trusting him forever.

17Deep honor and bright glory to the King of All Time--One God, Immortal, Invisible, ever and always. Oh, yes!

18I'm passing this work on to you, my son Timothy. The prophetic word that was directed to you prepared us for this. All those prayers are coming together now so you will do this well, fearless in your struggle,

19keeping a firm grip on your faith and on yourself. After all, this is a fight we're in. There are some, you know, who by relaxing their grip and thinking anything goes have made a thorough mess of their faith.

20Hymenaeus and Alexander are two of them. I let them wander off to Satan to be taught a lesson or two about not blaspheming.
