| 1절 | Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ, our hope,
|
| 2절 | To Timothy, a true son in the faith： Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
|
| 3절 | As I urged you when I went into Macedonia--remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
|
| 4절 | nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith.
|
| 5절 | Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith,
|
| 6절 | from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk,
|
| 7절 | desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.
|
| 8절 | But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully,
|
| 9절 | knowing this： that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
|
| 10절 | for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,
|
| 11절 | according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.
|
| 12절 | And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry,
|
| 13절 | although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
|
| 14절 | And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.
|
| 15절 | This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
|
| 16절 | However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life.
|
| 17절 | Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
|
| 18절 | This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare,
|
| 19절 | having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck,
|
| 20절 | of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.
