1 Sha’ul [desired], an apostle of Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] by the commandment of God-The Father our Saviour, and Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah], [which is] our hope;

2 Unto Timothy [honoring God], [my] own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God-The Father our Father and Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] our Lord - Kurios.

3 As I besought youi to abide still at Ephesus [permitted], when I went into Macedonia [extended land], that youi might charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: [so do].

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

6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain quarreling (noisy arguement);

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

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

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 (treat as common; defile), for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

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;

11 According to the glorious Gospel (joyful message) of the Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) God-The Father, which was committed to my trust.

12 And I thank Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation] our Lord - Kurios, who has enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

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

14 And the grace of our Lord - Kurios was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation].

15 This [is] a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation] came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

16 However for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] might show forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.

17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God-The Father, [be] honour and glory forever and ever. Amen.

18 This charge I commit unto youi, son Timothy [honoring God], according to the prophecies which went before on youi, that youi by them might war a good warfare;

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

20 Of whom is Hymenaeus [belonging to marriage] and Alexander [one who assists men]; whom I have delivered unto Satan [the adversary], that they may learn not to blaspheme.
