1: Paulos an apostle [of]
Jesus Christ [by] the command of God our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ our hope[1] 2:
To Timotheus true child in faith
Grace mercy and peace from God our Father and Jesus the Christ our Lord 3:
As I requested of you to abide still at Ephesus when I went into Macedonia that
you might declare [to] some that they teach no other doctrine 4: Neither
give heed to myths and endless genealogies [which] offer endless questionings [bring]
rather the godly edifying which is in faith 5: Now the [desired] purpose
[of my] request is agapē love out of a pure heart and of a good
conscience and of faith without hypocrisy 6: From which some have erred
[and] turned [aside] from into useless debate 7: Desiring to be
teachers of the law understanding neither what they say nor what it is they
[strongly Berry] affirm 8: But we know that the law is good,
if any use it lawfully 9: Knowing this that the law is not made for the
righteous but for the lawless and disobedient for the ungodly and for sinners
for unholy and profane for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers for
manslayers 10: For pornos for men
who bed with other men for menstealers for liars for perjured persons and if
there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine 11:
According to the glorious gospel of the Blessed God which was committed to my
trust 12: And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me for that
he counted me faithful putting me into [His] service diakonia13:
Who was before a blasphemer and a persecutor and injurious but I obtained mercy
because I did it ignorantly in unbelief “Father forgive them for they know
not what they do 14: And the grace of our Lord was exceeding
abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus 15: This is a
faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation that Christ Jesus came into the
world to save sinners of whom I am chief 16: Howbeit for this cause I
obtained mercy that in me first Jesus Christ might manifest all patience for an
example to them who should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting 17:
Now unto the King eternal immortal invisible The Only Wise God be honor and
glory for ever and ever Amen 18:
This charge I commit to you [my] child Timotheos
according to the prophecies which went before on you that you by them might
wage a good warfare 19: Holding faith and a good conscience which some
having repudiated concerning faith have suffered shipwreck 20: Of whom
is Hymenaeus and Alexander whom I have delivered unto Satan that they may learn
not to blaspheme 2 Thessalonians 3:14
[1] It was Yeshua Himself who called and commanded
Paul in his apostleship:
Acts 9:4: And he fell to the earth and heard a voice saying unto him Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me 5: And he said Who art thou Lord And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks 6: And he trembling and astonished said Lord, what wilt thou have me to do And the Lord said unto him, Arise and go into the city and it shall be told thee what thou must do. Jesus is God.
