1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the command of God our Savior and of the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
2 to Timothy, a genuine child in the faith.
Grace, mercy, peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Just as I, going into Macedonia, urged you to 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 the 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 neither what they are saying nor what they insist on.
8 But we know that the law (is) good if one uses it lawfully, 9 knowing this, that the law is not laid down for the righteous but for the lawless and the rebellious, the ungodly and the sinful, the unholy and the profane, father-killers and mother-killers, man-slayers, 10 the sexually immoral, homosexuals, kidnappers, 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 insolent one, but I was shown mercy because, not knowing, I acted in unfaithfulness. 14 But 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 believe in him for eternal life. 17 Now to the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God,[fn] be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
18 This command I am placing before you, my child, Timothy, according to the earlier prophecies about you, that in them you might fight the good fight, 19 having 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.
Instead of the only God, some manuscripts read the only wise God.
