提摩太前書 1
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
1 我保羅奉我們救主上帝和賜我們盼望的基督耶穌的命令,作基督耶穌的使徒, 2 寫信給因信主而作我真兒子的提摩太。
願父上帝和我們的主基督耶穌的恩典、憐憫和平安臨到你!
謹防異端邪說
3 我去馬其頓的時候,曾經勸你繼續留在以弗所,好命令那幾個人不要傳講異端邪說, 4 也不要沉迷於虛構的神話和冗長的家譜,因為這些事只會引起無用的猜測和辯論,無法幫助人憑信心認識上帝的救贖計劃。 5 制止這些人的目的是為了愛,這愛來自於清潔的心、無虧的良心和真實無偽的信心。 6 可惜有些人卻偏離這些,轉向空洞的談論。 7 他們想做律法教師,卻不明白自己所談論所主張的。
8 我們知道,只要用得合宜,律法本是好的。 9 因為律法並不是為義人設的,而是為了對付那些目無法紀、大逆不道、不敬畏上帝、犯罪作惡、不聖潔、貪戀世俗、謀殺父母、行兇害命、 10 淫亂、同性戀、拐賣人口、說謊、起假誓的人,以及其他違反正道的人。 11 這正道來自當受稱頌的上帝託付我傳揚的榮耀福音。
感謝上帝的憐憫
12 我感謝賜我力量的主基督耶穌,因為祂視我忠心可靠,派我事奉祂。 13 儘管我從前是個褻瀆上帝、迫害和侮辱信徒的人,但我仍然蒙了憐憫,因為那時我無知,還沒有信耶穌。 14 主賜給我豐富的恩典,使我在基督耶穌裡有信心和愛心。
15 有句話千真萬確、完全可信,就是「基督耶穌降世,為要拯救罪人。」在罪人中我是個罪魁, 16 但我依然蒙了憐憫,因為耶穌基督要在我這個罪魁身上彰顯祂無限的忍耐,使我做那些要信靠祂並得到永生之人的榜樣。
17 願尊貴、榮耀歸給那位不朽的、肉眼不能見的萬世君王——獨一無二的上帝,直到永遠。阿們!
18 我兒提摩太啊,我依照從前有關你的預言,把這命令託付給你,好使你藉此打美好的仗。 19 你要持守信心和無虧的良心。有些人喪掉良心,結果他們的信仰就像船觸了礁, 20 其中有許米乃和亞歷山大。我已經把他們交給撒旦,使他們受些教訓,不敢再說褻瀆的話。
1 Timothy 1
Common English Bible
Greeting
1 From Paul, who is an apostle of Jesus Christ by the command of God our savior and of Christ Jesus our hope.
2 To Timothy, my true child in the faith.
Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Lord.
Timothy’s purpose in Ephesus
3 When I left for Macedonia, I asked you to stay behind in Ephesus so that you could instruct certain individuals not to spread wrong teaching. 4 They shouldn’t pay attention to myths and endless genealogies. Their teaching only causes useless guessing games instead of faithfulness to God’s way of doing things. 5 The goal of instruction is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith. 6 Because they missed this goal, some people have been distracted by talk that doesn’t mean anything. 7 They want to be teachers of Law without understanding either what they are saying or what they are talking about with such confidence. 8 Now we know that the Law is good if used appropriately. 9 We understand this: the Law isn’t established for a righteous person but for people who live without laws and without obeying any authority. They are the ungodly and the sinners. They are people who are not spiritual, and nothing is sacred to them. They kill their fathers and mothers, and murder others. 10 They are people who are sexually unfaithful, and people who have intercourse with the same sex. They are kidnappers,[a] liars, individuals who give false testimonies in court, and those who do anything else that is opposed to sound teaching. 11 Sound teaching agrees with the glorious gospel of the blessed God that has been trusted to me.
Thanksgiving
12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength because he considered me faithful. So he appointed me to ministry 13 even though I used to speak against him, attack his people, and I was proud. But I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and without faith. 14 Our Lord’s favor poured all over me along with the faithfulness and love that are in Christ Jesus. 15 This saying is reliable and deserves full acceptance: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”—and I’m the biggest sinner of all. 16 But this is why I was shown mercy, so that Christ Jesus could show his endless patience to me first of all. So I’m an example for those who are going to believe in him for eternal life. 17 Now to the king of the ages, to the immortal, invisible, and only God, may honor and glory be given to him forever and always! Amen.
Importance of faith and a good conscience
18 Timothy, my child, I’m giving you these instructions based on the prophecies that were once made about you. So if you follow them, you can wage a good war 19 because you have faith and a good conscience. Some people have ruined their faith because they refused to listen to their conscience, 20 such as Hymenaeus and Alexander. I’ve handed them over to Satan so that they can be taught not to speak against God.

1 Timothy 1
New International Version
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God(A) our Savior(B) and of Christ Jesus our hope,(C)
2 To Timothy(D) my true son(E) in the faith:
Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.(F)
Timothy Charged to Oppose False Teachers
3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia,(G) stay there in Ephesus(H) so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines(I) any longer 4 or to devote themselves to myths(J) and endless genealogies.(K) Such things promote controversial speculations(L) rather than advancing God’s work—which is by faith. 5 The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart(M) and a good conscience(N) and a sincere faith.(O) 6 Some have departed from these and have turned to meaningless talk. 7 They want to be teachers(P) of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.(Q)
8 We know that the law is good(R) if one uses it properly. 9 We also know that the law is made not for the righteous(S) but for lawbreakers and rebels,(T) the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine(U) 11 that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.(V)
The Lord’s Grace to Paul
12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength,(W) that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service.(X) 13 Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor(Y) and a violent man, I was shown mercy(Z) because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.(AA) 14 The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly,(AB) along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.(AC)
15 Here is a trustworthy saying(AD) that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners(AE)—of whom I am the worst. 16 But for that very reason I was shown mercy(AF) so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience(AG) as an example for those who would believe(AH) in him and receive eternal life.(AI) 17 Now to the King(AJ) eternal, immortal,(AK) invisible,(AL) the only God,(AM) be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.(AN)
The Charge to Timothy Renewed
18 Timothy, my son,(AO) I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you,(AP) so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well,(AQ) 19 holding on to faith and a good conscience,(AR) which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith.(AS) 20 Among them are Hymenaeus(AT) and Alexander,(AU) whom I have handed over to Satan(AV) to be taught not to blaspheme.
1 Timoteo 1
La Biblia de las Américas
Saludo
1 Pablo, apóstol(A) de Cristo Jesús(B) por mandato(C) de Dios nuestro Salvador(D), y de Cristo Jesús nuestra esperanza(E), 2 a Timoteo(F), verdadero hijo en la fe(G): Gracia(H), misericordia y paz de parte de Dios Padre y de Cristo Jesús nuestro Señor(I).
Advertencia contra doctrinas extrañas
3 Como te rogué al partir para Macedonia(J) que te quedaras en Efeso(K) para que instruyeras a algunos que no enseñaran doctrinas extrañas(L), 4 ni prestaran atención a[a] mitos(M) y genealogías(N) interminables, lo que da lugar a discusiones[b](O) inútiles en vez de hacer avanzar(P) el plan[c] de Dios que es por fe, así te encargo ahora. 5 Pero el propósito[d] de nuestra instrucción[e](Q) es el amor nacido de un corazón puro(R), de una buena conciencia(S) y de una fe sincera[f](T). 6 Pues algunos, desviándose de estas cosas, se han apartado hacia una vana palabrería[g](U), 7 queriendo ser(V) maestros de la ley(W), aunque no entienden lo que dicen ni las cosas acerca de las cuales hacen declaraciones categóricas. 8 Pero nosotros sabemos que la ley(X) es buena, si uno la usa legítimamente, 9 reconociendo esto: que la ley(Y) no ha sido instituida para el justo, sino para los transgresores y rebeldes(Z), para los impíos(AA) y pecadores, para los irreverentes y profanos(AB), para los parricidas y matricidas, para los homicidas, 10 para los inmorales[h](AC), homosexuales(AD), secuestradores(AE), mentirosos(AF), los que juran en falso(AG), y para cualquier otra cosa que es contraria a la sana doctrina(AH), 11 según el glorioso evangelio(AI) del Dios bendito(AJ), que me ha sido encomendado(AK).
Gratitud de Pablo por la gracia de Dios
12 Doy gracias a Cristo Jesús nuestro Señor(AL), que me ha fortalecido(AM), porque me tuvo por fiel, poniéndome en el ministerio(AN); 13 aun habiendo sido yo antes blasfemo, perseguidor(AO) y agresor. Sin embargo, se me mostró misericordia(AP) porque lo hice por ignorancia en mi incredulidad(AQ). 14 Pero la gracia(AR) de nuestro Señor fue más que abundante, con la fe(AS) y el amor que se hallan en Cristo Jesús. 15 Palabra fiel(AT) y digna de ser aceptada por todos[i]: Cristo Jesús(AU) vino al mundo para salvar a los pecadores(AV), entre los cuales yo soy el primero(AW). 16 Sin embargo, por esto hallé misericordia(AX), para que en mí, como el primero, Jesucristo demostrara toda su paciencia[j](AY) como un ejemplo para los que habrían de creer en Él para vida eterna. 17 Por tanto, al Rey eterno[k](AZ), inmortal(BA), invisible(BB), único Dios(BC), a Él sea honor y gloria(BD) por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.
Instrucciones a Timoteo
18 Esta comisión[l](BE) te confío, hijo(BF) Timoteo, conforme a las profecías(BG) que antes se hicieron en cuanto a ti, a fin de que por ellas pelees la buena batalla(BH), 19 guardando la fe(BI) y una buena conciencia, que algunos han rechazado y naufragaron en lo que toca a la fe(BJ). 20 Entre los cuales están Himeneo(BK) y Alejandro(BL), a quienes he entregado a Satanás(BM), para que aprendan a no blasfemar(BN).
