00:001 Timothy chapter 1

00:04From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus, by order of God our Savior and Christ Jesus our

00:12hope, to Timothy, my true son in the faith, may God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord

00:20give you grace, mercy, and peace, warnings against false teaching.

00:26I want you to stay in Ephesus, just as I urged you when I was on my way to Macedonia.

00:35Some people there are teaching false doctrines, and you must order them to stop.

00:41Tell them to give up those legends and those long lists of ancestors, which only produce

00:47arguments.

00:48They do not serve God's plan, which is known by faith.

00:51The purpose of this order is to arouse the love that comes from a pure heart, a clear

00:58conscience, and a genuine faith.

01:01Some people have turned away from these and have lost their way in foolish discussions.

01:07They want to be teachers of God's law, but they do not understand their own words or the

01:12matters about which they speak with so much confidence.

01:16We know that the law is good, if it is used as it should be used.

01:22It must be remembered, of course, that laws are made, not for good people, but for lawbreakers

01:29and criminals, for the godless and sinful, for those who are not religious or spiritual,

01:36for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for the immoral, for sexual perverts,

01:43for kidnappers, for those who lie and give false testimony, or who do anything else contrary

01:51to sound doctrine.

01:53That teaching is found in the gospel that was entrusted to me to announce the good news

02:00from the glorious and blessed God.

02:03Gratitude for God's mercy.

02:05I give thanks to Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength for my work.

02:12I thank Him for considering me worthy and appointing me to serve Him, even though in the past I spoke

02:19evil of Him, and persecuted and insulted Him.

02:23But God was merciful to me, because I did not yet have faith, and so did not know what I was

02:29doing, and our Lord poured out His abundant grace on me, and gave me the faith and love

02:36which are ours in union with Christ Jesus.

02:40This is a true saying, to be completely accepted and believed.

02:46Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.

02:50I am the worst of them.

02:51But God was merciful to me, in order that Christ Jesus might show His full patience in dealing

02:59with me, the worst of sinners, as an example for all those who would later believe in Him

03:06and receive eternal life.

03:09To the eternal King, immortal and invisible, the only God, to Him be honor and glory forever

03:16and ever.

03:18Amen.

03:18Timothy, my child, I entrust to you this command, which is in accordance with the words of prophecy

03:27spoken in the past about you.

03:30Use those words as weapons in order to fight well, and keep your faith and a clear conscience.

03:38Some people have not listened to their conscience and have made a ruin of their faith.

03:43Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have punished by handing them over to the

03:50power of Satan.

03:52This will teach them to stop their blasphemy.

03:58Chapter 2

03:59Church Worship

04:01First of all then, I urge that petitions, prayers, requests, and thanksgivings be offered

04:08to God for all people, for kings and all others who are in authority, that we may live a quiet

04:16and peaceful life, with all reverence toward God and with proper conduct.

04:21This is good, and it pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to come to

04:29know the truth.

04:30For there is one God, and there is one who brings God and human beings together, the man

04:37Christ Jesus, who gave himself to redeem the whole human race.

04:42That was the proof at the right time that God wants everyone to be saved, and that is

04:48why I was sent as an apostle and teacher of the Gentiles, to proclaim the message of faith

04:55and truth.

04:57I am not lying.

04:58I am telling the truth.

05:00In every church service, I want the men to pray, men who are dedicated to God and can

05:07lift up their hands in prayer without anger or argument.

05:11I also want the women to be modest and sensible about their clothes and to dress properly, not

05:18with fancy hairstyles or with gold ornaments or pearls or expensive dresses, but with good

05:25deeds, as is proper for women who claim to be religious.

05:32I do not allow them to teach or to have authority over men.

05:38They must keep quiet.

05:39For Adam was created first, and it was not Adam who was deceived, it was the woman who was deceived

05:48and broke God's law.

05:50But a woman will be saved through having children, if she perseveres in faith and love and holiness

05:57with modesty.

05:58This is a true saying.

06:08If a man is eager to be a church leader, he desires an excellent work.

06:13A church leader must be without fault.

06:17He must have only one wife, be sober, self-controlled, and orderly.

06:23He must welcome strangers in his home.

06:26He must be able to teach.

06:28He must not be a drunkard or a violent man, but gentle and peaceful.

06:33He must not love money.

06:35He must be able to manage his own family well and make his children obey him with all respect.

06:42For if a man does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of the church

06:48of God?

06:49He must be mature in the faith, so that he will not swell up with pride and be condemned

06:56as the devil was.

06:58He should be a man who is respected by the people outside the church, so that he will not

07:04be disgraced and fall into the devil's trap.

07:08Helpers in the Church

07:09Church helpers must also have a good character and be sincere.

07:15They must not drink too much wine or be greedy for money.

07:19They should hold to the revealed truth of the faith with a clear conscience.

07:24They should be tested first, and then, if they pass the test, they are to serve.

07:30Their wives also must be of good character and must not gossip.

07:35They must be sober and honest in everything.

07:38A church helper must have only one wife and be able to manage his children and family well.

07:46Those helpers who do their work well win for themselves a good standing and are able to

07:51speak boldly about their faith in Christ Jesus.

07:54The Great Secret

07:56As I write this letter to you, I hope to come and see you soon.

08:02But if I delay, this letter will let you know how we should conduct ourselves in God's household,

08:09which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth.

08:15No one can deny how great is the secret of our religion.

08:18He appeared in human form, was shown to be right by the Spirit, and was seen by angels.

08:26He was preached among the nations, was believed in throughout the world, and was taken up to heaven.

08:36Chapter 4

08:37False Teachers

08:39The Spirit says clearly that some people will abandon the faith in later times.

08:46They will obey lying spirits and follow the teachings of demons.

08:50Such teachings are spread by deceitful liars, whose consciences are dead, as if burnt with a hot iron.

08:59Such people teach that it is wrong to marry and to eat certain foods.

09:04But God created those foods to be eaten, after a prayer of thanks, by those who are believers, and have come to know the truth.

09:13Everything that God has created is good.

09:17Nothing is to be rejected.

09:19But everything is to be received with a prayer of thanks,

09:24because the word of God and the prayer make it acceptable to God.

09:29A Good Servant of Christ Jesus

09:31If you give these instructions to the believers,

09:35you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus,

09:38as you feed yourself spiritually on the words of faith,

09:43and of the true teaching which you have followed.

09:46But keep away from those godless legends, which are not worth telling.

09:51Keep yourself in training for a godly life.

09:55Physical exercise has some value,

09:58but spiritual exercise is valuable in every way,

10:02because it promises life both for the present and for the future.

10:08This is a true saying,

10:10to be completely accepted and believed.

10:13We struggle and work hard,

10:15because we have placed our hope in the living God,

10:18who is the Savior of all and especially of those who believe.

10:23Give them these instructions and these teachings.

10:26Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young,

10:31but be an example for the believers

10:33in your speech, your conduct, your love, faith, and purity.

10:39Until I come, give your time and effort

10:41to the public reading of the Scriptures

10:43and to preaching and teaching.

10:46Do not neglect the spiritual gift that is in you,

10:50which was given to you when the prophets spoke

10:52and the elders laid their hands on you.

10:56Practice these things and devote yourself to them,

11:00in order that your progress may be seen by all.

11:03Watch yourself and watch your teaching.

11:07Keep on doing these things,

11:09because if you do,

11:10you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

11:13Do not rebuke an older man,

11:25but appeal to him as if he were your father.

11:28Treat the younger men as your brothers,

11:31the older women as mothers,

11:33and the younger women as sisters with all purity.

11:36Show respect for widows who really are all alone.

11:42But if a widow has children or grandchildren,

11:45they should learn first to carry out their religious duties

11:48toward their own family,

11:50and in this way repay their parents and grandparents,

11:54because that is what pleases God.

11:57A widow who is all alone,

11:59with no one to take care of her,

12:01has placed her hope in God,

12:03and continues to pray and ask him for his help night and day.

12:09But a widow who gives herself to pleasure

12:11has already died,

12:13even though she lives.

12:16Give them these instructions,

12:18so that no one will find fault with them.

12:21But if any do not take care of their relatives,

12:24especially the members of their own family,

12:27they have denied the faith

12:28and are worse than an unbeliever.

12:31Do not add any widow to the list of widows

12:35unless she is over 60 years of age.

12:38In addition,

12:39she must have been married only once

12:41and have a reputation for good deeds.

12:45A woman who brought up her children well,

12:48received strangers in her home,

12:50performed humble duties for other Christians,

12:53helped people in trouble,

12:55and devoted herself to doing good.

12:57But do not include younger widows in the list,

13:01because when their desires

13:03make them want to marry,

13:05they turn away from Christ,

13:07and so become guilty of breaking

13:08their earlier promise to him.

13:11They also learn to waste their time

13:13in going around from house to house.

13:17But even worse,

13:18they learn to be gossips

13:19and busybodies,

13:21talking of things they should not.

13:23So I would prefer

13:25that the younger widows get married,

13:28have children,

13:29and take care of their homes,

13:30so as to give our enemies

13:32no chance of speaking evil of us.

13:35For some widows have already

13:37turned away to follow Satan.

13:40But if any Christian woman

13:42has widows in her family,

13:44she must take care of them,

13:46and not put the burden on the church,

13:49so that it may take care

13:50of the widows who are all alone.

13:53The elders who do good work as leaders

13:56should be considered worthy

13:57of receiving double pay,

14:00especially those who work hard

14:02at preaching and teaching.

14:04For the scripture says,

14:05Do not muzzle an ox

14:07when you are using it to thresh grain,

14:10and workers should be given their pay.

14:13Do not listen to an accusation

14:15against an elder

14:17unless it is brought by two or more witnesses.

14:20Rebuke publicly all those who commit sins,

14:24so that the rest may be afraid.

14:27In the presence of God,

14:29and of Christ Jesus,

14:30and of the holy angels,

14:32I solemnly call upon you

14:34to obey these instructions,

14:37without showing any prejudice

14:38or favor to anyone

14:40in anything you do.

14:42Be in no hurry to lay hands on people

14:45to dedicate them to the Lord's service.

14:47Take no part in the sins of others.

14:51Keep yourself pure.

14:53Do not drink water only,

14:55but take a little wine

14:56to help your digestion,

14:58since you are sick so often.

15:01The sins of some people

15:02are plain to see,

15:04and their sins

15:05go ahead of them to judgment,

15:07but the sins of others

15:08are seen only later.

15:10In the same way,

15:12good deeds are plainly seen,

15:14and even those that are not so plain

15:16cannot be hidden.

15:22Chapter 6

15:23Those who are slaves

15:26must consider their masters

15:27worthy of all respect,

15:30so that no one will speak evil

15:32of the name of God

15:33and of our teaching.

15:36Slaves belonging to Christian masters

15:38must not despise them,

15:40for they are believers too.

15:42Instead,

15:43they are to serve them even better,

15:46because those who benefit from their work

15:48are believers whom they love.

15:51False Teaching

15:52and True Riches

15:54You must teach

15:56and preach these things.

15:58Whoever teaches

15:59a different doctrine

16:00and does not agree

16:01with the true words

16:02of our Lord Jesus Christ

16:04and with the teaching

16:06of our religion

16:06is swollen with pride

16:08and knows nothing.

16:10He has an unhealthy desire

16:12to argue

16:13and quarrel

16:14about words.

16:15And this brings on

16:16jealousy,

16:17disputes,

16:19insults,

16:20evil suspicions,

16:21and constant arguments

16:23from people

16:23whose minds

16:24do not function

16:25and who no longer

16:27have the truth.

16:28They think that religion

16:29is a way

16:30to become rich.

16:32Well,

16:33religion does make us

16:34very rich

16:35if we are satisfied

16:36with what we have.

16:37What did we bring

16:39into the world?

16:41Nothing.

16:42What can we take

16:43out of the world?

16:45Nothing.

16:46So then,

16:47if we have food

16:48and clothes,

16:49that should be

16:50enough for us.

16:52But those who want

16:53to get rich

16:53fall into temptation

16:55and are caught

16:56in the trap

16:57of many foolish

16:58and harmful desires

17:00which pull them down

17:01to ruin

17:02and destruction.

17:03for the love

17:04of money

17:05is a source

17:06of all kinds

17:07of evil.

17:08Some have been

17:09so eager

17:10to have it

17:10that they have

17:11wandered away

17:12from the faith

17:13and have broken

17:14their hearts

17:15with many sorrows.

17:17Personal Instructions

17:19But you,

17:21man of God,

17:22avoid all these things.

17:24Strive for

17:25righteousness,

17:27godliness,

17:28faith,

17:29love,

17:30endurance,

17:31and gentleness.

17:32Run your best

17:34in the race

17:35of faith

17:36and win

17:36eternal life

17:37for yourself.

17:39For it was

17:39to this life

17:40that God called you

17:41when you firmly

17:43professed your faith

17:44before many witnesses.

17:46Before God

17:47who gives life

17:48to all things

17:49and before Christ

17:50Jesus

17:51who firmly

17:52professed his faith

17:53before Pontius Pilate,

17:55I command you

17:56to obey

17:57your orders

17:58and keep them

17:59faithfully

18:00until the day

18:01when our Lord

18:02Jesus Christ

18:03will appear.

18:05His appearing

18:06will be brought about

18:07at the right time

18:08by God,

18:09the blessed

18:10and only ruler,

18:11the King of kings

18:12and the Lord

18:13of lords.

18:15He alone

18:15is immortal.

18:17He lives

18:17in the light

18:18that no one

18:19can approach.

18:21No one

18:21has ever seen him.

18:23No one

18:23can ever see him.

18:25To him

18:26be honor

18:26and eternal

18:27power.

18:28Amen.

18:29Command those

18:30who are rich

18:31in the things

18:32of this life

18:33not to be proud,

18:35but to place

18:36their hope

18:36not in such

18:37an uncertain

18:38thing as riches,

18:40but in God

18:40who generously

18:42gives us

18:43everything

18:43for our enjoyment.

18:45Command them

18:46to do good,

18:47to be rich

18:48in good works,

18:50to be generous

18:51and ready

18:52to share

18:53with others.

18:54In this way

18:55they will store

18:56up for themselves

18:57a treasure

18:58which will be

18:59a solid foundation

19:00for the future

19:01and then

19:02they will be able

19:03to win the life

19:04which is

19:05true life.

19:07Timothy,

19:08keep safe

19:09what has been

19:10entrusted

19:10to your care.

19:12Avoid the profane

19:13talk

19:13and foolish

19:14arguments

19:15of what some

19:16people wrongly

19:17call knowledge.

19:19For some

19:19have claimed

19:20to possess it

19:21and as a result

19:22they have lost

19:23the way

19:24of faith.

19:25God's grace

19:26be with you all.
