GNT

1 παῦλος ἀπόστολος χριστοῦ ἰησοῦ κατ᾽ ἐπιταγὴν θεοῦ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν καὶ χριστοῦ ἰησοῦ τῆς ἐλπίδος ἡμῶν

2 τιμοθέῳ γνησίῳ τέκνῳ ἐν πίστει· χάρις, ἔλεος, εἰρήνη ἀπὸ θεοῦ πατρὸς καὶ χριστοῦ ἰησοῦ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν.

3 καθὼς παρεκάλεσά σε προσμεῖναι ἐν ἐφέσῳ πορευόμενος εἰς μακεδονίαν, ἵνα παραγγείλῃς τισὶν μὴ ἑτεροδιδασκαλεῖν

4 μηδὲ προσέχειν μύθοις καὶ γενεαλογίαις ἀπεράντοις, αἵτινες ἐκζητήσεις παρέχουσιν μᾶλλον ἢ οἰκονομίαν θεοῦ τὴν ἐν πίστει·

5 τὸ δὲ τέλος τῆς παραγγελίας ἐστὶν ἀγάπη ἐκ καθαρᾶς καρδίας καὶ συνειδήσεως ἀγαθῆς καὶ πίστεως ἀνυποκρίτου,

6 ὧν τινες ἀστοχήσαντες ἐξετράπησαν εἰς ματαιολογίαν,

7 θέλοντες εἶναι νομοδιδάσκαλοι, μὴ νοοῦντες μήτε ἃ λέγουσιν μήτε περὶ τίνων διαβεβαιοῦνται.

8 οἴδαμεν δὲ ὅτι καλὸς ὁ νόμος ἐάν τις αὐτῶ νομίμως χρῆται,

9 εἰδὼς τοῦτο, ὅτι δικαίῳ νόμος οὐ κεῖται, ἀνόμοις δὲ καὶ ἀνυποτάκτοις, ἀσεβέσι καὶ ἁμαρτωλοῖς, ἀνοσίοις καὶ βεβήλοις, πατρολῴαις καὶ μητρολῴαις, ἀνδροφόνοις,

10 πόρνοις, ἀρσενοκοίταις, ἀνδραποδισταῖς, ψεύσταις, ἐπιόρκοις, καὶ εἴ τι ἕτερον τῇ ὑγιαινούσῃ διδασκαλίᾳ ἀντίκειται,

11 κατὰ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς δόξης τοῦ μακαρίου θεοῦ, ὃ ἐπιστεύθην ἐγώ.

12 χάριν ἔχω τῶ ἐνδυναμώσαντί με χριστῶ ἰησοῦ τῶ κυρίῳ ἡμῶν, ὅτι πιστόν με ἡγήσατο θέμενος εἰς διακονίαν,

13 τὸ πρότερον ὄντα βλάσφημον καὶ διώκτην καὶ ὑβριστήν· ἀλλὰ ἠλεήθην, ὅτι ἀγνοῶν ἐποίησα ἐν ἀπιστίᾳ,

14 ὑπερεπλεόνασεν δὲ ἡ χάρις τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν μετὰ πίστεως καὶ ἀγάπης τῆς ἐν χριστῶ ἰησοῦ.

15 πιστὸς ὁ λόγος καὶ πάσης ἀποδοχῆς ἄξιος, ὅτι χριστὸς ἰησοῦς ἦλθεν εἰς τὸν κόσμον ἁμαρτωλοὺς σῶσαι· ὧν πρῶτός εἰμι ἐγώ,

16 ἀλλὰ διὰ τοῦτο ἠλεήθην, ἵνα ἐν ἐμοὶ πρώτῳ ἐνδείξηται χριστὸς ἰησοῦς τὴν ἅπασαν μακροθυμίαν, πρὸς ὑποτύπωσιν τῶν μελλόντων πιστεύειν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῶ εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον.

17 τῶ δὲ βασιλεῖ τῶν αἰώνων, ἀφθάρτῳ, ἀοράτῳ, μόνῳ θεῶ, τιμὴ καὶ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων· ἀμήν.

18 ταύτην τὴν παραγγελίαν παρατίθεμαί σοι, τέκνον τιμόθεε, κατὰ τὰς προαγούσας ἐπὶ σὲ προφητείας, ἵνα στρατεύῃ ἐν αὐταῖς τὴν καλὴν στρατείαν,

19 ἔχων πίστιν καὶ ἀγαθὴν συνείδησιν, ἥν τινες ἀπωσάμενοι περὶ τὴν πίστιν ἐναυάγησαν·

20 ὧν ἐστιν ὑμέναιος καὶ ἀλέξανδρος, οὓς παρέδωκα τῶ σατανᾷ ἵνα παιδευθῶσιν μὴ βλασφημεῖν.

1  Paul,³⁹⁷² an apostle⁶⁵² of Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ by²⁵⁹⁶ the commandment²⁰⁰³ of God²³¹⁶ our²²⁵⁷ Savior,⁴⁹⁹⁰ and²⁵³² Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ which is our²²⁵⁷ hope;¹⁶⁸⁰

2  Unto Timothy,⁵⁰⁹⁵ my own¹¹⁰³ son⁵⁰⁴³ in¹⁷²² the faith:⁴¹⁰² Grace,⁵⁴⁸⁵ mercy,¹⁶⁵⁶ and peace,¹⁵¹⁵ from⁵⁷⁵ God²³¹⁶ our²²⁵⁷ Father³⁹⁶² and²⁵³² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ our²²⁵⁷ Lord.²⁹⁶²

3  As²⁵³¹ I besought³⁸⁷⁰ thee⁴⁵⁷¹ to abide still⁴³⁵⁷ at¹⁷²² Ephesus,²¹⁸¹ when I went⁴¹⁹⁸ into¹⁵¹⁹ Macedonia,³¹⁰⁹ that²⁴⁴³ thou mightest charge³⁸⁵³ some⁵¹⁰⁰ that they teach no other doctrine,^{2085 3361}

4  Neither³³⁶⁶ give heed⁴³³⁷ to fables³⁴⁵⁴ and²⁵³² endless⁵⁶² genealogies,¹⁰⁷⁶ which³⁷⁴⁸ minister³⁹³⁰ questions,²²¹⁴ rather³¹²³ than²²²⁸ godly²³¹⁶ edifying³⁶²² which³⁵⁸⁸ is in¹⁷²² faith:⁴¹⁰² so do.

5  Now¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ end⁵⁰⁵⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ commandment³⁸⁵² is²⁰⁷⁶ charity²⁶ out of¹⁵³⁷ a pure²⁵¹³ heart,²⁵⁸⁸ and²⁵³² of a good¹⁸ conscience,⁴⁸⁹³ and²⁵³² of faith⁴¹⁰² unfeigned:⁵⁰⁵

6  From which³⁷³⁹ some⁵¹⁰⁰ having swerved⁷⁹⁵ have turned aside¹⁶²⁴ unto¹⁵¹⁹ vain jangling;³¹⁵⁰

7  Desiring²³⁰⁹ to be¹⁵¹¹ teachers of the law;³⁵⁴⁷ understanding³⁵³⁹ neither³³⁸³ what³⁷³⁹ they say,³⁰⁰⁴ nor³³⁸³ whereof^{4012 5101} they affirm.¹²²⁶

8  But¹¹⁶¹ we know¹⁴⁹² that³⁷⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ law³⁵⁵¹ is good,²⁵⁷⁰ if¹⁴³⁷ a man⁵¹⁰⁰ use⁵⁵³⁰ it⁸⁴⁶ lawfully;³⁵⁴⁵

9  Knowing¹⁴⁹² this,⁵¹²⁴ that³⁷⁵⁴ the law³⁵⁵¹ is not³⁷⁵⁶ made²⁷⁴⁹ for a righteous man,¹³⁴² but¹¹⁶¹ for the lawless⁴⁵⁹ and²⁵³² disobedient,⁵⁰⁶ for the ungodly⁷⁶⁵ and²⁵³² for sinners,²⁶⁸ for unholy⁴⁶² and²⁵³² profane,⁹⁵² for murderers of fathers³⁹⁶⁴ and²⁵³² murderers of mothers,³³⁸⁹ for manslayers,⁴⁰⁹

10  For whoremongers,⁴²⁰⁵ for them that defile themselves with mankind,⁷³³ for menstealers,⁴⁰⁵ for liars,⁵⁵⁸³ for perjured persons,¹⁹⁶⁵ and²⁵³² if there be any¹⁵³⁶ other thing²⁰⁸⁷ that is contrary⁴⁸⁰ to sound⁵¹⁹⁸ doctrine;¹³¹⁹

11  According²⁵⁹⁶ to the³⁵⁸⁸ glorious¹³⁹¹ gospel²⁰⁹⁸ of the³⁵⁸⁸ blessed³¹⁰⁷ God,²³¹⁶ which³⁷³⁹ was committed⁴¹⁰⁰ to my trust.¹⁴⁷³

12  And²⁵³² I thank^{2192 5485} Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus²⁴²⁴ our²²⁵⁷ Lord,²⁹⁶² who hath enabled¹⁷⁴³ me,³¹⁶⁵ for that³⁷⁵⁴ he counted²²³³ me³¹⁶⁵ faithful,⁴¹⁰³ putting⁵⁰⁸⁷ me into¹⁵¹⁹ the ministry;¹²⁴⁸

13  Who was⁵⁶⁰⁷ before⁴³⁸⁶ a blasphemer,⁹⁸⁹ and²⁵³² a persecutor,¹³⁷⁶ and²⁵³² injurious:⁵¹⁹⁷ but²³⁵ I obtained mercy,¹⁶⁵³ because³⁷⁵⁴ I did⁴¹⁶⁰ it ignorantly⁵⁰ in¹⁷²² unbelief.⁵⁷⁰

14  And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ of our²²⁵⁷ Lord²⁹⁶² was exceeding abundant⁵²⁵⁰ with³³²⁶ faith⁴¹⁰² and²⁵³² love²⁶ which³⁵⁸⁸ is in¹⁷²² Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus.²⁴²⁴

15  This is a faithful⁴¹⁰³ saying,³⁰⁵⁶ and²⁵³² worthy⁵¹⁴ of all³⁹⁵⁶ acceptation,⁵⁹⁴ that³⁷⁵⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus²⁴²⁴ came²⁰⁶⁴ into¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ world²⁸⁸⁹ to save⁴⁹⁸² sinners;²⁶⁸ of whom³⁷³⁹ I¹⁴⁷³ am¹⁵¹⁰ chief.⁴⁴¹³

16  Howbeit²³⁵ for this cause^{1223 5124} I obtained mercy,¹⁶⁵³ that²⁴⁴³ in¹⁷²² me¹⁶⁹⁸ first⁴⁴¹³ Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ might show forth¹⁷³¹ all³⁹⁵⁶ longsuffering,³¹¹⁵ for⁴³¹⁴ a pattern⁵²⁹⁶ to them which should hereafter³¹⁹⁵ believe⁴¹⁰⁰ on¹⁹⁰⁹ him⁸⁴⁶ to¹⁵¹⁹ life²²²² everlasting.¹⁶⁶

17  Now¹¹⁶¹ unto the³⁵⁸⁸ King⁹³⁵ eternal,¹⁶⁵ immortal,⁸⁶² invisible,⁵¹⁷ the only³⁴⁴¹ wise⁴⁶⁸⁰ God,²³¹⁶ be honor⁵⁰⁹² and²⁵³² glory¹³⁹¹ forever and ever.^{1519 165 165} Amen.²⁸¹

18  This⁵⁰²⁶ charge³⁸⁵² I commit³⁹⁰⁸ unto thee,⁴⁶⁷¹ son⁵⁰⁴³ Timothy,⁵⁰⁹⁵ according²⁵⁹⁶ to the³⁵⁸⁸ prophecies⁴³⁹⁴ which went before⁴²⁵⁴ on¹⁹⁰⁹ thee,⁴⁵⁷¹ that²⁴⁴³ thou by¹⁷²² them⁸⁴⁶ mightest war⁴⁷⁵⁴ a good²⁵⁷⁰ warfare;⁴⁷⁵²

19  Holding²¹⁹² faith,⁴¹⁰² and²⁵³² a good¹⁸ conscience;⁴⁸⁹³ which³⁷³⁹ some⁵¹⁰⁰ having put away⁶⁸³ concerning⁴⁰¹² faith⁴¹⁰² have made shipwreck:³⁴⁸⁹

20  Of whom³⁷³⁹ is²⁰⁷⁶ Hymenaeus⁵²¹¹ and²⁵³² Alexander;²²³ whom³⁷³⁹ I have delivered³⁸⁶⁰ unto Satan,⁴⁵⁶⁷ that²⁴⁴³ they may learn³⁸¹¹ not³³⁶¹ to blaspheme.⁹⁸⁷

Vul

1 Paulus Apostolus Jesu Christi secundum imperium Dei Salvatoris nostri, et Christi Jesu spei nostræ,

2 Timotheo dilecto filio in fide. Gratia, misericordia, et pax a Deo Patre, et Christo Jesu 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: quæ quæstiones præstant magis quam ædificationem Dei, quæ est in fide.

5 Finis autem præcepti 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 intelligentes neque quæ loquuntur, neque de quibus affirmant.

8 Scimus autem quia bona est lex si quis ea legitime utatur:

9 sciens hoc quia lex justo non est posita, sed injustis, et non subditis, impiis, et peccatoribus, sceleratis, et contaminatis, parricidis, et matricidis, homicidis,

10 fornicariis, masculorum concubitoribus, plagiariis, mendacibus, et perjuris, et si quid aliud sanæ doctrinæ adversatur,

11 quæ est secundum Evangelium gloriæ beati Dei, quod creditum est mihi.

12 Gratias ago ei, qui me confortavit, Christo Jesu Domino nostro, quia fidelem me existimavit, ponens in ministerio:

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

14 Superabundavit autem gratia Domini nostri cum fide, et dilectione, quæ est in Christo Jesu.

15 Fidelis sermo, et omni acceptione dignus: quod Christus Jesus venit in hunc mundum peccatores salvos facere, quorum primus ego sum.

16 Sed ideo misericordiam consecutus sum: ut in me primo ostenderet Christus Jesus omnem patientiam ad informationem eorum, qui credituri sunt illi, in vitam æternam.

17 Regi autem sæculorum immortali, invisibili, soli Deo honor et gloria in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.

18 Hoc præceptum commendo tibi, fili Timothee, secundum præcedentes 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 Hymenæus, et Alexander: quos tradidi Satanæ, ut discant non blasphemare.
