1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of the Lord Jesus Christ our hope, 2 to Timothy, a true son in the faith: Grace, mercy, peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, remain in Ephesus so that you can command certain ones not to teach differently, 4 and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which promote arguments rather than the stewardship of God, which is by faith. 5 Now the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, and a good conscience, and a sincere faith, 6 from which some, having missed the mark, have turned away to foolish talk, 7 wanting to be teachers of the law, not understanding either what they are saying or about which they make confident affirmations. 8 But we know that the law (is) good, if one uses it lawfully, 9 knowing this, that law is not made for the righteous, but for the lawless and the rebellious, the ungodly and the sinful, the godless and the profane, father-killers and mother-killers, man-slayers, 10 the immoral, male-liers, man-stealers, liars, perjurers, and if anything else is contrary to the healthy teaching, 11 according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.
12 I have gratitude to the one having strengthened me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he considered me trustworthy, placing me into service, 13 formerly being a blasphemer and a persecutor and an aggressor, but I was shown mercy because not knowing, I acted in unfaithfulness. 14 Indeed, the grace of our Lord overflowed with faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 15 This word is trustworthy and worthy of all acceptance, “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”—of whom I am first. 16 But because of this I was shown mercy, so that in me, the first, Jesus Christ might demonstrate all patience as an example for the ones about to trust in him for eternal life. 17 Now to the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory to eternity forever. Amen.
18 This command I am placing before you, my child, Timothy, in accordance with the earlier prophecies about you, that by them you might fight the good fight, 19 holding faith and a good conscience, which some, having rejected, have shipwrecked regarding the faith, 20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have given over to Satan so that they may be taught not to blaspheme.
