Introduction
1:1-2
1 Tim. 1
:1
1:1
1Paul, an
aapostle of Christ Jesus
baccording to the
2ccommand of
3dGod our Savior and of Christ Jesus our
4ehope,
1 Tim. 1
:2
1:2
To 1aTimothy, genuine
bchild in
2faith: Grace,
cmercy, peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
II.
God's economy versus different teachings
1:3-17
1 Tim. 1
:3
1:3
Even as I exhorted you, when I was
1going into
aMacedonia, to remain in
bEphesus in order that you might charge
2certain ones not to teach
3cdifferent things
1 Tim. 1
:4
1:4
Nor to give heed to
1amyths and unending
2bgenealogies, which produce
cquestionings rather than God's
3deconomy, which is in
4efaith.
1 Tim. 1
:5
1:5
But the end of the
1charge is
2alove out of a
3bpure heart and
out of a good
cconscience and
out of unfeigned
dfaith;
1 Tim. 1
:6
1:6
From which things some, having
1amisaimed, have turned aside to
2bvain talking,
1 Tim. 1
:7
1:7
Desiring to be
1ateachers of the law, though they understand neither the things that they say, nor concerning what they
2bconfidently affirm.
1 Tim. 1
:8
1:8
But we know that the
alaw is good, if one uses it lawfully
1 Tim. 1
:9
1:9
And knows this, that the
alaw is not enacted for a righteous man but for the lawless and
bunruly, for the
cungodly and sinners, for the
dunholy and
eprofane, for those who
1strike their fathers and those who strike their mothers, for murderers,
1 Tim. 1
:10
1:10
For fornicators,
ahomosexuals, kidnappers, liars, perjurers, and whatever other thing that is opposed to the
1bhealthy teaching,
1 Tim. 1
:11
1:11
aAccording to the
1bgospel of the glory of the
cblessed God, with which I was
dentrusted.
1 Tim. 1
:12
1:12
I give thanks to Him who
1aempowers me, Christ Jesus our Lord, that He has counted me
bfaithful,
cappointing me to the
dministry,
1 Tim. 1
:13
1:13
Who formerly was a
1blasphemer and a
apersecutor and an
2insulting person; but I was shown
3bmercy because, being
4cignorant, I acted in
4dunbelief.
1 Tim. 1
:14
1:14
And the
1agrace of our Lord
bsuperabounded with
2cfaith and love in Christ Jesus.
1 Tim. 1
:15
1:15
aFaithful is the word and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus
1came into the world to save
bsinners, of whom I am foremost.
1 Tim. 1
:16
1:16
But because of this I was shown
amercy, that in me, the foremost, Jesus Christ might display all His long-suffering for a
1pattern to those who are to
bbelieve on Him unto
2ceternal life.
1 Tim. 1
:17
1:17
1Now to the
aKing of the ages,
bincorruptible,
cinvisible, the
donly God, be
2ehonor and
fglory for ever and ever. Amen.
III.
Faith and a good conscience needed for the keeping of the faith
1:18-20
1 Tim. 1
:18
1:18
This 1acharge I commit to you,
my bchild Timothy, according to the
2cprophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you might
3dwar the good warfare,
1 Tim. 1
:19
1:19
aHolding 1bfaith and a good
cconscience,
concerning which some, thrusting
these away, have become
2shipwrecked regarding the
3dfaith;
1 Tim. 1
:20
1:20
Of whom are
1aHymenaeus and
2bAlexander, whom I have
cdelivered to Satan that they may be
3disciplined not to
dblaspheme.
