1 Timoteo 1

1 Mula kay Pablo na apostol ni Cristo Jesus ayon sa utos ng Diyos na ating Tagapagligtas at ni Cristo Jesus na ating pag-asa—

2 Kayt Timoteo na tunay kong anak sa pananampalataya.
Sumaiyo nawa ang pagpapala, habag at kapayapaang buhat sa Diyos Ama at kay Cristo Jesus na ating Panginoon.

Babala Tungkol sa Maling Katuruan

7 Nais nilang maging tagapagturo ng kautusan gayong hindi naman nila nauunawaan ang kanilang sinasabi at ang kanilang ipinagpipilitang ituro.
8 Alam naman nating ang Kautusan ay mabuti kung ginagamit sa tamang paraan. 9 Alalahanin nating ang Kautusan ay hindi ginawa para sa mabubuting tao, kundi para sa mga walang kinikilalang batas at mga kriminal, para sa mga hindi kumikilala sa Diyos at sa mga makasalanan, para sa mga lapastangan sa Diyos at walang hilig sa kabanalan, para sa mga mamamatay-tao at pumapatay ng sariling ama o ina. 10 Ibinigay rin ang Kautusan para sa mga mahihilig sa kahalayan at nakikiapid sa kapwa lalaki, para sa mga kidnaper, para sa mga sinungaling at sa mga saksing hindi nagsasabi ng totoo. Ang Kautusan ay ibinigay para sa lahat ng mga sumasalungat sa mabuting aral.

11 Ang aral na ito'y ayon sa Magandang Balita na ipinagkatiwala sa akin ng dakila at mapagpalang Diyos.

Pagkilala sa Habag ng Diyos

16 Ngunit akong pinakamasama ay kinahabagan, upang ipakita ni Cristo Jesus ang kanyang di-masukat na pag-ibig sa akin, at upang ito'y maging halimbawa sa mga sasampalataya at bibigyan ng buhay na walang hanggan.

17 Purihin natin at luwalhatiin magpakailanman ang iisang Diyos, Haring walang hanggan, walang kamatayan at di-nakikita! Amen.
18 Timoteo, anak ko, ang mga bagay na ito'y itinatagubilin ko sa iyo ayon sa mga pahayag na sinabi tungkol sa iyo upang sa pamamagitan nito ay masigla kang makipaglaban, 19 na taglay ang matibay na pananampalataya at malinis na budhi. May mga taong hindi sumunod sa kanilang budhi, at dahil dito, ang pananampalataya nila ay natulad sa isang barkong nawasak. 20 Kabilang sa mga iyon sina Himeneo at Alejandro, kaya ipinaubaya ko na sila sa kapangyarihan ni Satanas upang matigil na ang kanilang paglapastangan sa Diyos.

1 TIMOTHY 1

1 From Paul.
God our Savior and Christ Jesus commanded me to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, who gives us hope.

2  t Timothy, because of our faith, you are like a son to me. I pray that God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ will be kind and merciful to you. May they bless you with peace!

Warning against False //Teaching

4 You needed to warn them to stop wasting their time on senseless stories and endless lists of ancestors. Such things only cause arguments. They don't help anyone to do God's work that can only be done by faith.
5 You must teach people to have genuine love, as well as a good conscience and true faith. 6 There are some who have given up these for nothing but empty talk.

7 They want to be teachers of the Law of Moses. But they don't know what they are talking about, even though they think they do.
8 We know the Law is good, if it is used in the right way. 9 We also understand it wasn't given to control people who please God, but to control lawbreakers, criminals, godless people, and sinners. It is for wicked and evil people, and for murderers, who would even kill their own parents. 10 The Law was written for people who are sexual perverts or who live as homosexuals or are kidnappers or liars or won't tell the truth in court. It is for anything else that opposes the correct teaching

11 of the good news the glorious and wonderful God has given me.

Being Thankful for //God's Kindness

14 Christ Jesus our Lord treated me with undeserved grace and has greatly blessed my life with faith and love just like his own.
15 “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” This saying is true, and it can be trusted. I was the worst sinner of all! 16 But since I was worse than anyone else, God had mercy on me and let me be an example of the endless patience of Christ Jesus. He did this so that others would put their faith in Christ and have eternal life.

17 I pray that honor and glory will always be given to the only God, who lives forever and is the invisible and eternal King! Amen.
18 Timothy, my son, the instructions I am giving you are based on what some prophetst once said about you. If you follow these instructions, you will fight like a good soldier. 19 You will be faithful and have a clear conscience. Some people have made a mess of their faith because they didn't listen to their consciences. 20 Two of them are Hymenaeus and Alexander. I have given these men over to the power of Satan, so they will learn not to oppose God.
