1 Timothy 1 (WEBP)

[1] Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
[2] to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
[3] As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine,
[4] and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.
[5] But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith,
[6] from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,
[7] desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say nor about what they strongly affirm.
[8] But we know that the law is good if a person uses it lawfully,
[9] as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
[10] for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,
[11] according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
[12] I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service,
[13] although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
[14] The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
[15] The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
[16] However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life.
[17] Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
[18] I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them you may wage the good warfare,
[19] holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith,
[20] of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they might be taught not to blaspheme.

King James w/Strong’s #s

1 Timothy 1 (KJVS)

[1] Paul , an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour , and Lord Jesus Christ , [which is] our hope ;
[2] Unto Timothy , [my] own son in the faith : Grace , mercy , [and] peace , from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord .
[3] As I besought () thee to abide still () at Ephesus , when I went () into Macedonia , that thou mightest charge () some that they teach no other doctrine (),
[4] Neither give heed () to fables and endless genealogies , which minister () questions , rather than godly edifying which is in faith : [so do].
[5] Now the end of the commandment is () charity out of a pure heart , and [of] a good conscience , and [of] faith unfeigned :
[6] From which some having swerved () have turned aside () unto vain jangling ;
[7] Desiring () to be () teachers of the law ; understanding () neither what they say (), nor whereof they affirm ().
[8] But we know () that the law [is] good , if a man use () it lawfully ;
[9] Knowing () this , that the law is not made () for a righteous man , but for the lawless and disobedient , for the ungodly and for sinners , for unholy and profane , for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers , for manslayers ,
[10] For whoremongers , for them that defile themselves with mankind , for menstealers , for liars , for perjured persons , and if there be any other thing that is contrary () to sound () doctrine ;
[11] According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God , which was committed to my trust ().
[12] And I thank () Christ Jesus our Lord , who hath enabled () me , for that he counted () me faithful , putting me () into the ministry ;
[13] Who was () before a blasphemer , and a persecutor , and injurious : but I obtained mercy (), because I did () [it] ignorantly () in unbelief .
[14] And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant () with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus .
[15] This [is] a faithful saying , and worthy of all acceptation , that Christ Jesus came () into the world to save () sinners ; of whom I am () chief .
[16] Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy (), that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth () all longsuffering , for a pattern to them which should hereafter () believe () on him to life everlasting .
[17] Now unto the King eternal , immortal , invisible , the only wise God , [be] honour and glory for ever and ever . Amen .
[18] This charge I commit () unto thee , son Timothy , according to the prophecies which went before () on thee , that thou by them mightest war () a good warfare ;
[19] Holding () faith , and a good conscience ; which some having put away () concerning faith have made shipwreck ():
[20] Of whom is () Hymenaeus and Alexander ; whom I have delivered () unto Satan , that they may learn () not to blaspheme ().

Young’s Literal Translation

1 Timothy 1 (YLT)

[1] Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to a command of God our Saviour, and of the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
[2] to Timotheus-genuine child in faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord,
[3] according as I did exhort thee to remain in Ephesus-I going on to Macedonia-that thou mightest charge certain not to teach any other thing,
[4] nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, that cause questions rather than the building up of God that is in faith:-
[5] And the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned,
[6] from which certain, having swerved, did turn aside to vain discourse,
[7] willing to be teachers of law, not understanding either the things they say, nor concerning what they asseverate,
[8] and we have known that the law is good, if any one may use it lawfully;
[9] having known this, that for a righteous man law is not set, but for lawless and insubordinate persons, ungodly and sinners, impious and profane, parricides and matricides, men-slayers,
[10] whoremongers, sodomites, men-stealers, liars, perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that to sound doctrine is adverse,
[11] according to the good news of the glory of the blessed God, with which I was entrusted.
[12] And I give thanks to him who enabled me-Christ Jesus our Lord-that he did reckon me stedfast, having put me to the ministration,
[13] who before was speaking evil, and persecuting, and insulting, but I found kindness, because, being ignorant, I did it in unbelief,
[14] and exceedingly abound did the grace of our Lord, with faith and love that is in Christ Jesus:
[15] stedfast is the word, and of all acceptation worthy, that Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners-first of whom I am;
[16] but because of this I found kindness, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern of those about to believe on him to life age-during:
[17] and to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible, only wise God, is honour and glory-to the ages of the ages! Amen.
[18] This charge I commit to thee, child Timotheus, according to the prophesies that went before upon thee, that thou mayest war in them the good warfare,
[19] having faith and a good conscience, which certain having thrust away, concerning the faith did make shipwreck,
[20] of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I did deliver to the Adversary, that they might be instructed not to speak evil.
