WET VERSION
CHAPTER 1
do not allow a woman to direct or to have authority over a man; instead, she is to be cool-headed
To Timothy, my true son in the faith. Grace, mercy and peace be multiplied to you
from God [the Self-existent, the Almighty] the Father and Jesus the Anointed, our Sovereign Master.
As I urged you, when I was going to Macedonia, to remain in Ephesus so that you may stop those who teach different doctrines
or pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which — rather than instructing in godliness which comes about through faith in the Anointed, Jesus - gives room for arguments, so do.
The goal of the charge is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience and a sincere faith.
Some have deviated from this and turned aside to meaningless argumentation.
They want to be teachers of the law, without understanding what they are saying or what they are hammering.
We know that the law is good, provided it is used to prosecute those it is meant for;
knowing that the law is not meant for the upright, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and irreverent, the patricides, the matricides, for murderers,
the sexually immoral (including homosexuals), kidnappers, liars, perjurers and for those practicing
whatever else is contrary to the sound teaching
based on the glorious gospel from the blessed God [the Self-existent, the Almighty], which was entrusted to me.
I give thanks to Jesus the Anointed, our Sovereign Master, who strengthened me, because He considered me trustworthy, appointing me to the ministry —
I
who was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor and an insolent man. But, because I acted out of ignorance in unbelief, I received mercy,
and the grace of our Sovereign Master, Jesus the Anointed, with faith and love that are in Him, was poured out on me abundantly
and the grace of our Sovereign Master, Jesus the Anointed, with faith and love that are in Him, was poured out on me abundantly
But, so that, in me, the worst of them, Jesus the Anointed might demonstrate His extraordinary patience as an example to those who would believe in Him for eternal life, I received mercy.
To the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God be honor and glory forever and ever. (So be it.)
Timothy, my son, I am giving you this instruction in keeping with the prophetic utterances about you earlier, so that by them you may fight aright
and keep clear conscience with faith. Some have rejected these and have suffered the shipwreck of their faith.
Hymenaeus and Alexander are among them — I have handed them over to Satan so that they may be taught not to blaspheme.
