1890 Darby's Translation of the Holy Scriptures (DBY)
1 Timothy 1
1 Timothy is put in mind of the charge which was given unto him by Paul at his going to Macedonia. 5 Of the right use and end of the Law. 11 Of Paul's calling to be an apostle, 20 and of Hymeneus and Alexander.

1:1 ¶
Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ, according to [the] command of God our Saviour, and of Christ Jesus our hope,

1:2
to Timotheus, [my] true child in faith: grace, mercy, peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

1:3
Even as I begged thee to remain in Ephesus, [when I was] going to Macedonia, that thou mightest enjoin some not to teach other doctrines,

1:4
nor to turn their minds to fables and interminable genealogies, which bring questionings rather than [further] God's dispensation, which [is] in faith.

1:5
But the end of what is enjoined is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith;

1:6
which [things] some having missed, have turned aside to vain discourse,

1:7
desiring to be law-teachers, not understanding either what they say or concerning what they [so] strenuously affirm.

1:8
Now we know that the law [is] good if any one uses it lawfully,

1:9
knowing this, that law has not its application to a righteous person, but to [the] lawless and insubordinate, to [the] impious and sinful, to [the] unholy and profane, to smiters of fathers and smiters of mothers; to murderers,

1:10
fornicators, sodomites, kidnappers, liars, perjurers; and if any other thing is opposed to sound teaching,

1:11
according to the glad tidings of the glory of the blessed God, with which *I* have been entrusted.

1:12
[And] I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me power, that he has counted me faithful, appointing to ministry him

1:13
who before was a blasphemer and persecutor, and an insolent overbearing [man]: but mercy was shewn me because I did it ignorantly, in unbelief.

1:14
But the grace of our Lord surpassingly over-abounded with faith and love, which [is] in Christ Jesus.

1:15
Faithful [is] the word, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom *I* am [the] first.

1:16
But for this reason mercy was shewn me, that in me, [the] first, Jesus Christ might display the whole long-suffering, for a delineation of those about to believe on him to life eternal.

1:17
Now to the King of the ages, [the] incorruptible, invisible, only God, honour and glory to the ages of ages. Amen.

1:18
This charge, [my] child Timotheus, I commit to thee, according to the prophecies as to thee preceding, in order that thou mightest war by them the good warfare,

1:19
maintaining faith and a good conscience; which [last] some, having put away, have made shipwreck as to faith;

1:20
of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may be taught by discipline not to blaspheme.
