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.
