1. Timotejovi 1

1 Pavol, apoštol Krista Ježiša, z príkazu Boha, nášho Spasiteľa, a Krista Ježiša, našej nádeje,2 Timotejovi, pravému synovi vo viere: Milosť, milosrdenstvo a pokoj od Boha Otca i od Krista Ježiša, nášho Pána.3 Keď som šiel do Macedónska, prosil som ťa, aby si zostal v Efeze a prikázal niektorým, aby neučili inak4 a nezaoberali sa bájkami a nekonečnými rodokmeňmi, ktoré podporujú viac škriepky ako Boží plán, ktorý je vo viere.5 Cieľom prikázania je láska, vychádzajúca z čistého srdca, dobrého svedomia a úprimnej viery,6 od čoho niektorí odbočili a dali sa na prázdne reči.7 Chcú byť učiteľmi zákona, a nerozumejú ani tomu, čo hovoria, ani tomu, čo tvrdia.8 Vieme, že zákon je dobrý, ak ho niekto správne používa,9 pričom vie, že zákon nie je daný pre spravodlivého, ale pre nespravodlivých a nepoddajných, pre bezbožných a hriešnikov, pre zvrhlých a svetákov, pre otcovrahov a matkovrahov, pre vrahov vôbec,10 pre smilníkov, súložníkov mužov, únoscov, luhárov, krivoprísažníkov a pre čokoľvek iné, čo sa prieči zdravému učeniu,11 podľa evanjelia o sláve blahoslaveného Boha, ktoré mi bolo zverené.12 Ďakujem tomu, ktorý ma posilnil, Ježišovi Kristovi, nášmu Pánovi, že ma uznal za verného a zveril mi službu,13 hoci som bol predtým rúhač, prenasledovateľ a násilník. No dosiahol som milosrdenstvo, lebo som to robil z nevedomosti v nevere.14 Ale nadmieru sa rozhojnila milosť nášho Pána s vierou a láskou, ktoré sú v Ježišovi Kristovi.15 Toto slovo je spoľahlivé a úplne vierohodné: Ježiš Kristus prišiel na svet zachrániť hriešnikov; a ja som prvý z nich.16 Ale dosiahol som milosrdenstvo, aby na mne na prvom ukázal Ježiš Kristus všetku zhovievavosť ako príklad pre tých, čo v neho uveria pre večný život.17 Kráľovi vekov, nesmrteľnému, neviditeľnému, jedinému Bohu česť a sláva na veky vekov. Amen.18 Toto prikázanie ti zverujem, syn môj Timotej, podľa predošlých proroctiev o tebe, aby si nimi posilnený bojoval dobrý boj,19 aby si mal vieru a dobré svedomie, ktoré niektorí odvrhli a stroskotali vo viere.20 K nim patrí Hymeneus a Alexander, ktorých som vydal satanovi, aby sa odučili rúhať.

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


3 When I was leaving for Macedonia, I asked you to stay on in Ephesus and warn certain people there to stop spreading their false teachings.

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


12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me the strength for my work because he knew he could trust me. 13 t I used to say terrible and insulting things about him, and I was cruel. But Christ had mercy on me because I didn't know what I was doing, and I had not yet put my faith in him.

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.
