English Bible Presentation Sharing - 1-Timothy Book, chapter 1, verse 5 in Net Version

1 Timothy 1 : 1 (NET)

From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,

1 Timothy 1 : 2 (NET)

to Timothy, my genuine child in the faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!

1 Timothy 1 : 3 (NET)

As I urged you when I was leaving for Macedonia, stay on in Ephesus to instruct certain people not to spread false teachings,

1 Timothy 1 : 4 (NET)

nor to occupy themselves with myths and interminable genealogies. Such things promote useless speculations rather than God's redemptive plan that operates by faith.

1 Timothy 1 : 5 (NET)

But the aim of our instruction is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith.

1 Timothy 1 : 6 (NET)

Some have strayed from these and turned away to empty discussion.

1 Timothy 1 : 7 (NET)

They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not understand what they are saying or the things they insist on so confidently.

1 Timothy 1 : 8 (NET)

But we know that the law is good if someone uses it legitimately,

1 Timothy 1 : 9 (NET)

realizing that law is not intended for a righteous person, but for lawless and rebellious people, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers,

1 Timothy 1 : 10 (NET)

sexually immoral people, practicing homosexuals, kidnappers, liars, perjurers� in fact, for any who live contrary to sound teaching.

1 Timothy 1 : 11 (NET)

This accords with the glorious gospel of the blessed God that was entrusted to me.

1 Timothy 1 : 12 (NET)

I am grateful to the one who has strengthened me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he considered me faithful in putting me into ministry,

1 Timothy 1 : 13 (NET)

even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor, and an arrogant man. But I was treated with mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief,

1 Timothy 1 : 14 (NET)

and our Lord's grace was abundant, bringing faith and love in Christ Jesus.

1 Timothy 1 : 15 (NET)

This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance: "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners"� and I am the worst of them!

1 Timothy 1 : 16 (NET)

But here is why I was treated with mercy: so that in me as the worst, Christ Jesus could demonstrate his utmost patience, as an example for those who are going to believe in him for eternal life.

1 Timothy 1 : 17 (NET)

Now to the eternal king, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever! Amen.

1 Timothy 1 : 18 (NET)

I put this charge before you, Timothy my child, in keeping with the prophecies once spoken about you, in order that with such encouragement you may fight the good fight.

1 Timothy 1 : 19 (NET)

To do this you must hold firmly to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck in regard to the faith.

1 Timothy 1 : 20 (NET)

Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme.
