1 Timothy 1

The Message Bible MSG

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

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

3 On 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.

4 Apparently 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.

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

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

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

8 It'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.

9 It'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,

10 sex, truth, whatever!

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

12 I'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.

13 The 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!

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

15 Here'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 -

16 of 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.

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

18 I'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,

19 keeping a firm grip on your faith and on yourself. After all, this is a fight we're in.

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

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 Paulus apostolus Christi Iesu secundum imperium Dei salvatoris nostri et Christi Iesu spei nostrae

2 Timotheo dilecto filio in fide gratia misericordia pax a Deo Patre et Christo Iesu Domino nostro

3 sicut rogavi te ut remaneres Ephesi cum irem in Macedoniam ut denuntiares quibusdam ne aliter docerent

4 neque intenderent fabulis et genealogiis interminatis quae quaestiones praestant magis quam aedificationem Dei quae est in fide

5 finis autem praecepti est caritas de corde puro et conscientia bona et fide non ficta

6 a quibus quidam aberrantes conversi sunt in vaniloquium

7 volentes esse legis doctores non intellegentes neque quae loquuntur neque de quibus adfirmant

8 scimus autem quia bona est lex si quis ea legitime utatur

9 sciens hoc quia iusto lex non est posita sed iniustis et non subditis impiis et peccatoribus sceleratis et contaminatis patricidis et matricidis homicidis

10 fornicariis masculorum concubitoribus plagiariis mendacibus periuris et si quid aliud sanae doctrinae adversatur

11 quae est secundum evangelium gloriae beati Dei quod creditum est mihi

12 gratias ago ei qui me confortavit Christo Iesu Domino nostro quia fidelem me existimavit ponens in ministerio

13 qui prius fui blasphemus et persecutor et contumeliosus sed misericordiam consecutus sum quia ignorans feci in incredulitate

14 superabundavit autem gratia Domini nostri cum fide et dilectione quae est in Christo Iesu

15 fidelis sermo et omni acceptione dignus quia Christus Iesus venit in mundum peccatores salvos facere quorum primus ego sum

16 sed ideo misericordiam consecutus sum ut in me primo ostenderet Christus Iesus omnem patientiam ad deformationem eorum qui credituri sunt illi in vitam aeternam

17 regi autem saeculorum inmortali invisibili soli Deo honor et gloria in saecula saeculorum amen

18 hoc praeceptum commendo tibi fili Timothee secundum praecedentes in te prophetias ut milites in illis bonam militiam

19 habens fidem et bonam conscientiam quam quidam repellentes circa fidem naufragaverunt

20 ex quibus est Hymeneus et Alexander quos tradidi Satanae ut discant non blasphemare
