1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ

ℵ ⟨Christ Jesus⟩

by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ

A ⟨Christ Jesus⟩

, which is our hope;

1 Paulus Apostolus Jesu Christi secundum imperium Dei Salvatoris nostri, et Christi Jesu spei nostræ,

2 Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our

ℵA ⟨the⟩

Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

2 Timotheo dilecto filio in fide. Gratia, misericordia, et pax a Deo Patre, et Christo Jesu Domino nostro.

3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

3 ¶ Sicut rogavi te ut remaneres Ephesi cum irem in Macedoniam, ut denuntiares quibusdam ne aliter docerent,

4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying

ℵA ⟨God's dispensation⟩

which is in faith: so do.

4 neque intenderent fabulis, et genealogiis interminatis: quæ quæstiones præstant magis quam ædificationem Dei, quæ est in fide.

5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

5 Finis autem præcepti est caritas de corde puro, et conscientia bona, et fide non ficta.

6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;

6 A quibus quidam aberrantes, conversi sunt in vaniloquium,

7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

7 volentes esse legis doctores, non intelligentes neque quæ loquuntur, neque de quibus affirmant.

8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;

8 Scimus autem quia bona est lex si quis ea legitime utatur:

9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, 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,

9 sciens hoc quia lex justo non est posita, sed injustis, et non subditis, impiis, et peccatoribus, sceleratis, et contaminatis, parricidis, et matricidis, homicidis,

10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;

10 fornicariis, masculorum concubitoribus, plagiariis, mendacibus, et perjuris, et si quid aliud sanæ doctrinæ adversatur,

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

11 quæ est secundum Evangelium gloriæ beati Dei, quod creditum est mihi.

12 And

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

12 ¶ Gratias ago ei, qui me confortavit, Christo Jesu Domino nostro, quia fidelem me existimavit, ponens in ministerio:

13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

13 qui prius blasphemus fui, et persecutor, et contumeliosus: sed misericordiam Dei consecutus sum, quia ignorans feci in incredulitate.

14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

14 Superabundavit autem gratia Domini nostri cum fide, et dilectione, quæ est in Christo Jesu.

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.

15 Fidelis sermo, et omni acceptione dignus: quod Christus Jesus venit in hunc mundum peccatores salvos facere, quorum primus ego sum.

16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ

A ⟨Christ Jesus⟩

might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.

16 Sed ideo misericordiam consecutus sum: ut in me primo ostenderet Christus Jesus omnem patientiam ad informationem eorum, qui credituri sunt illi, in vitam æternam.

17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise

God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

17 Regi autem sæculorum immortali, invisibili, soli Deo honor et gloria in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.

18 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;

18 ¶ Hoc præceptum commendo tibi, fili Timothee, secundum præcedentes in te prophetias, ut milites in illis bonam militiam,

19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:

19 habens fidem, et bonam conscientiam, quam quidam repellentes, circa fidem naufragaverunt:

20 Of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

20 ex quibus est Hymenæus, et Alexander: quos tradidi Satanæ, ut discant non blasphemare.
