1 Timothy 1

1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ, our hope,

παυλος, αποστολος ιησου χριστου κατ επιταγην θεου σωτηρος ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου της ελπιδος ημων,

2To Timothy, a true son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

τιμοθεω γνησιω τεκνω εν πιστει· χαρις, ελεος, ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος ημων και χριστου ιησου του κυριου ημων.

3As I urged you when I went into Macedonia—remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

καθως παρεκαλεσα σε προσμειναι εν εφεσω, πορευομενος εις μακεδονιαν, ινα παραγγειλης τισιν μη ετεροδιδασκαλειν

4nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith.

μηδε προσεχειν μυθοις και γενεαλογιαις απεραντοις, αιτινες ζητησεις παρεχουσιν μαλλον η οικονομιαν θεου την εν πιστει·

5Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith,

το δε τελος της παραγγελιας εστιν αγαπη εκ καθαρας καρδιας και συνειδησεως αγαθης και πιστεως ανυποκριτου,

6from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk,

ων τινες αστοχησαντες εξετραπησαν εις ματαιολογιαν,

7desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.

θελοντες ειναι νομοδιδασκαλοι, μη νοουντες μητε α λεγουσιν μητε περι τινων διαβεβαιουνται.

8But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully,

οιδαμεν δε οτι καλος ο νομος, εαν τις αυτω νομιμως χρηται,

9knowing 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,

ειδως τουτο, οτι δικαιω νομος ου κειται, ανομοις δε και ανυποτακτοις, ασεβεσιν και αμαρτωλοις, ανοσιοις και βεβηλοις, πατρολωαις και μητρολωαις, ανδροφονοις,

10for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,

πορνοις, αρσενοκοιταις, ανδραποδισταις, ψευσταις, επιορκοις, και ει τι ετερον τη υγιαινουση διδασκαλια αντικειται,

11according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.

κατα το ευαγγελιον της δοξης του μακαριου θεου, ο επιστευθην εγω.

12And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry,

και χαριν εχω τω ενδυναμωσαντι με χριστω ιησου τω κυριω ημων, οτι πιστον με ηγησατο, θεμενος εις διακονιαν

13although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

τον προτερον οντα βλασφημον και διωκτην και υβριστην· αλλ ηλεηθην, οτι αγνοων εποιησα εν απιστια,

14And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

υπερεπλεονασεν δε η χαρις του κυριου ημων μετα πιστεως και αγαπης της εν χριστω ιησου.

15This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.

πιστος ο λογος και πασης αποδοχης αξιος, οτι χριστος ιησους ηλθεν εις τον κοσμον αμαρτωλους σωσαι, ων πρωτος ειμι εγω·

16However, 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.

αλλα δια τουτο ηλεηθην, ινα εν εμοι πρωτω ενδειξηται ιησους χριστος την πασαν μακροθυμιαν, προς υποτυπωσιν των μελλοντων πιστευειν επ αυτω εις ζωην αιωνιον.

17Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

τω δε βασιλει των αιωνων, αφθαρτω, αορατω, μονω σοφω θεω, τιμη και δοξα εις τους αιωνας των αιωνων· αμην.

18This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare,

ταυτην την παραγγελιαν παρατιθεμαι σοι, τεκνον τιμοθεε, κατα τας προαγουσας επι σε προφητειας, ινα στρατευη εν αυταις την καλην στρατειαν,

19having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck,

εχων πιστιν και αγαθην συνειδησιν, ην τινες απωσαμενοι περι την πιστιν εναυαγησαν·

20of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.

ων εστιν υμεναιος και αλεξανδρος, ους παρεδωκα τω σατανα, ινα παιδευθωσιν μη βλασφημειν.
