\toc2 First Timothy
\toc3 1Ti
\mt1 1 Timothy
\s5
\c 1
\p
\v 1-2 I, Paul, am writing this to Timothy. God our Savior and Christ Jesus are those in whom we have confidence for the future, and Christ commanded me to be an apostle. You became a Christian when I told you about Jesus Christ, and you are my true son in the Lord. May God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord be kind to you, have mercy upon you, and give you peace.
\s5
\p
\v 3 The reason that I urged you to remain in Ephesus while I traveled to Macedonia was so that you would command certain men not to teach what is different from what we teach.
\v 4 And command them not to give their time and attention to old useless stories and lists of ancestors that people never stop thinking about. These things only cause people to argue with each other, but do not help them to know God's plan to save us—a plan that we believe by faith.
\s5
\v 5 Instead, the purpose of what we command you to teach is to love God from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from faith that is sincere.
\v 6 Some men have stopped trying to do these good things; instead, they are now saying useless things.
\v 7 They want to teach about the law, but they do not understand it. Yet they insist that what they teach is true.
\p
\v 8 But we know that law is good if we know how to use it according to what the law says.
\s5
\v 9 We know that the law is not made to control good people, but to control rebellious people and those who do not honor God, for sinners, and disrespectful persons, for murderers and for those who even murder their own parents.
\v 10 It is made also to control homosexuals and all people who practice improper sexual behavior, to control those who steal others and sell them as slaves, to control liars and false witnesses in courts of law, and to stop whatever is different from our good and healthy teaching.
\v 11 All of this agrees with the wonderful good news that God, whom we praise, has taught us, and that he trusts me to announce to others.
\v 1-2 I, Paul, am writing this letter to you, Timothy. You are like a son to me, for you believe the same things about God as I do. God who commanded me to be an apostle is God our Savior and Christ Jesus in whom we have confidence for the future. May God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord be kind to you, have mercy upon you, and give you peace.
\s5
\p
\v 12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, because he gave me the strength to serve him. He also relies on me to serve him.
\v 3 I urge you now, just like I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, that you remain in Ephesus so that you might command certain men not to teach false doctrines.
\v 4 And command them not to listen to old useless stories and endless lists of ancestors, which only cause people to argue with each other. But those things do not promote God's plan—that happens when we believe God.
\v 13 In past times, I insulted and persecuted the believers. I did violent deeds, but God had mercy on me because I did not believe, and I did not know what I was doing.
\v 14 God was extremely kind to me, for he made me able to believe in Christ Jesus and love him because he united me to him.
\s5
\v 5 And the reason that we command people to do these things is so that they will love from a pure heart, and from a good conscience, and from faith that is sincere.
\v 6 Some people have stopped doing these good things; instead, they are now saying useless things.
\v 7 They want to teach about the law God gave to Moses, but they do not understand what they are saying, nor the things about which they say with confidence.
\p
\v 8 But we know that law God gave to Moses is good if someone uses it in the right way.
\s5
\v 9 We know that God did not give the law to Moses to control a good person, but to control people who act as though there are no laws and who refuse to obey anyone, those who sin and do not honor God, those who do not revere God and who sin, those who refuse to perform rituals that please God and who show no respect for religion, and those who murder their fathers and mothers and other people.
\v 10 God gave it to control homosexuals and people who who are sexually immoral, those who kidnap people and sell them as slaves, Those who are liars and false witnesses in courts of law, and to stop every other action that is contrary to our true teaching.
\v 11 All of this agrees with the wonderful good news that God, whom we praise, gave to me to announce to others.
\s5
\p
\v 15 Everyone should accept this fact, because we can count on it completely: Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. It is true that I am the worst sinner of all.
\v 16 But because I am the worst sinner, God had mercy on me before many others, so that they would see how patient he is. God is patiently waiting to give everlasting life to those who believe in him.
\p
\v 17 The eternal king cannot be seen, and he cannot die. He alone is God. It is he whom everyone will honor and praise forever and ever. Amen.
\v 12 I am grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord who enabled me to do this work, because he considered that I could be trusted. So he appointed me in order that I would serve him.
\v 13 Formerly I said evil things about him, I caused his people to suffer, and I acted very cruelly toward them. But Christ acted kindly to me since I did not know that I was doing because I did not believe in him.
\v 14 Our Lord kindly did very much for me that I did not deserve, so that I now believe in Christ Jesus and I love him because I belong to him.
\s5
\v 18 Timothy, my child, I command you: Remember what certain believers prophesied about you. Do this in order to follow those things as you work hard for the Lord.
\p
\v 15 Everyone should completely accept this fact, because we know that it is true: Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinful people so that God would not punish them for their sins. As for me, I consider that I have sinned more than all others.
\v 16 Yet Christ Jesus acted mercifully to me who has sinned worse than all the others in order that he might demonstrate to people that he is perfectly patient with them. He wanted what he did for me to be an example to people who would later believe in him and as a result would live forever.
\p
\v 17 No one can see the eternal king, and he cannot die. He alone is God. Everyone should honor and praise forever and ever. Amen.
\v 19 Trust God and keep a good conscience. Some people have not paid attention to their own consciences. So what has happened to their faith is a disaster.
\v 20 Hymenaeus and Alexander are two men like this. I have handed them over to Satan for him to attack them, so that they may learn not to insult God.
\s5
18 Timothy, you are like a son to me. So, based on what someone previously prophesied about you, I am instructing you to strongly oppose those who teach false doctrines. You should oppose them like a soldier fights strongly against those who attack his countrymen.
19 Continue to believe the true teaching and do only what you know to be right! Remember that some people have rejected the true teaching. So what has happened to their faith is a disaster.
20 Among the ones who have done that are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I put in the hands of Satan, in order that when Satan punishes them they may learn not to insult God.
\s5
\c 2
\p
\v 1 Most importantly, because false teachers are dangerous, I urge all the believers to ask God and pray to him to help all people, and to thank him for them.
\v 2 Pray for kings and for everyone who has power over others, so that we may live quietly and peacefully in a way that we can honor God and other people.
\v 3 God, who saves us, listens to us when we pray like this. He sees it as good.
\v 4 He wants to save everyone. He wants everyone to learn what is true about him.
\v 1 The most important thing that I urge believers to do is to continually ask God for what they need. They should also pray to God for all other people, and they should be thanking God.
\v 2 They should pray for kings and for everyone who has power over others, so that we can live very peaceably as we do all that God and others consider to be right and proper.
\v 3 It is good to pray like that, and it pleases God, who saves us.
\v 4 He desires to save all people. He wants everyone to fully know and accept his true message.
\s5
\v 5 The truth is this, that there is one God, and there is only one person who can make us acceptable to him. Christ Jesus, the man, is this one person.
\v 6 He gave himself to set all people free—and that was the proof of what God was doing through Christ's death.
\v 7 To declare this truth, God made me a messenger and an apostle. I speak the truth; I am not lying. I teach the Gentiles the things that they should truly believe.
\v 5 He is the only one true God! And there is only one person who talks to God on behalf of people. That person is Christ Jesus, who himself is a man!
\v 6 He gave his life as a sacrifice in order to ransom all people, which showed at the proper time that God desires to save all people.
\v 7 God appointed me to declare this message and to be an apostle. I am telling the truth and am not lying! I teach the Gentiles that they should believe God's true message.
\s5
\p
\v 8 Therefore, I want men everywhere to pray and to lift up their hands to God in a way that he will accept. Believers should not pray to show anger or doubt about God.
\v 9 I also want the women to dress themselves carefully. They should control themselves so that they do not dress to show themselves off to others. Instead of braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing,
\v 10 women should dress themselves in what is right for women who do good works and who say that they honor God.
\v 8 Therefore, I want men everywhere to pray and to lift up their hands to God in a way that he will accept. They should not be angry with anyone and they should not quarrel with anyone.
\v 9 Women should wear modest and sensible clothing, and should not fix their hair in fancy/elaborate ways, nor wear gold jewelry, nor pearls, nor expensive clothing.
\v 10 Instead, they should be doing things that women who claim to worship God should do; that is, they should be doing good deeds.
\s5
\v 11 When men are teaching the believers, women should listen quietly, and they should give respect to their teachers and do all they can to learn from them.
\v 12 I do not allow women to teach or to tell men what to do. Women who honor God keep quiet when the believers come to learn.
\v 11 Women should learn quietly from the leaders of the congregation, and fully subject themselves to them.
\v 12 I do not permit women to teach a man, nor to have authority over a man. Instead, women should listen quietly during the worship services.
\s5
\v 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve after him.
\v 14 And it was not Adam that the snake deceived. It was the woman whom he completely deceived, so that she sinned.
\v 15 But God will save women as they bear children, if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with modesty.
\v 13 Keep in mind that God made Adam first, and afterwards he made Eve,
\v 14 and it was not Adam whom the snake deceived. It was the woman whom he completely deceived, so that she did what God had told her not to do.
\v 15 But now God will accept women as they bear children if they continue to believe God, and if they continue to love others, and if they continue to conduct their lives like God wants them to, and if they continue to be modest.
\s5

\v 1 You should rely on what I tell you here: If someone desires very much to oversee believers, he wants to do something really excellent.
\v 2 For that reason, however, an overseer must be someone whom no one accuses of anything bad. He must have only one wife. He must not do anything to excess; he must think in wise ways. He must behave well, and he must welcome strangers. He must be able to teach others.
\v 3 He must not be an alcoholic and not quick to fight. Instead, he must be patient and peaceful with others. And he should not be greedy for money.
\v 1 Everyone should completely accept this fact: If anyone aspires to be an elder in the congregation, he desires to do a noble task.
\v 2 For that reason, an overseer must be someone whom no one accuses of anything bad. He must have only one wife. He must not do anything to excess; he must think in wise ways. He must behave well, and he must welcome strangers. He must be able to teach others.
\v 3 He must not be a drunkard and must not be quick to fight. Instead, he must be gentle and he must not be quarrelsome. He must not be greedy for money.
\s5
\v 4 He should control the people in his own home well. His children should obey him with respect.
\v 5 I say this because if a man does not even know how to control the people in his own house, how can he care for an assembly of God's people?
\v 4 He must lead and care for his own family well. For example, his children should obey and completely respect him,
\v 5 because if anyone does not know how he should lead well and care for well the people who live in his own house, he certainly cannot care for God's congregation!
\s5
\v 6 A new believer should not be be an overseer, because he might think that he is better than other people. If that happened, God might punish him like he punished the devil.
\v 7 Those outside of the church must also think well of him. Otherwise he might be shamed and the devil might persuade him to sin.
\v 7 An elder must also conduct himself in such a way that non-Christians speak well of him, so that people will not say bad things about him, and the devil will not capture him like people capture animals in a trap.
\s5
\p
\v 8 Deacons, in the same way, should be people whom others respect. They should be sincere when they speak. They should not drink too much wine, and they must not be greedy for money.
\v 9 They should believe in the true things that God has told us, and at the same time know what is right, and then do it.
\v 8 Deacons, in the same way, should be people who are serious. They should be sincere when they speak. They should not drink too much wine, and they must not be greedy for money.
\v 9 They must believe the message that God has now revealed to us, always doing what it tells us to do.
\v 10 Like you do for the elders, you must first examine their character, and then let them serve as deacons if they are without fault.
\v 10 Find these qualities in them first, and then choose them to serve because no one can find anything wrong with them.
\s5
\v 11 In the same way, other people should respect deacons' wives. Their wives should not talk badly about other people. They must not do anything to excess, and they must be honest in everything they do.
\v 12 A deacon must have only one wife and must control his children and his possessions well.
\v 13 Good deacons are men whom the other believers highly respect. They come to trust in Christ Jesus very much.
\v 11 Their wives likewise must be serious, not talking badly about people, and not doing anything to excess. They must be faithful in everything that they do.
\v 12 Deacons must be faithful to their wives, and they must lead well and care well for their children and the rest of the people in their houses.
\v 13 Because if deacons serve well, people will respect them and they will be able to speak very boldly about what they believe concerning Christ Jesus.

\v 14 As I write to you these things, I hope to come to you soon.
\v 15 But if I do not come soon, I am writing to you now so that you may know how to act in the family of God, which is the group of those who believe in God, who gives life to all things. It is these who teach the truth and witness that it is true.
\v 14 Although I hope to come to you soon, I write these things to you now
\v 15 in order that if I do not come soon, you will know how believers should act in the family of God, which is the group of those who believe in God, who gives life to all things. They uphold the true message.
\s5
\v 16 And we say together that the truth that God has revealed to us is very great, and we honor him for it:

\v 1 Now the Spirit clearly says that in later times, some people will stop believing the truth about Christ and pay attention to spirits who deceive believers and demons who teach false things.

\v 3 They will try to stop believers from marrying. They will tell them not to eat certain things, even though God has created them, so that believers who have come to know the truth can share them with each other while thanking God for them.

\v 5 Now, a real widow is a widow who has no family members. So she depends on God and on what he gives her when she asks him and prays to him all day and night long.
\v 6 But a widow who lives for how she can please herself is dead, even though she is still alive.
\v 5 The widow who is really alone and have no one to help her confidently expects that God will help her. So night and day she prays and earnestly asks God to help her and others.
