1 Timothy 1:18-20

Expanded Bible

¹⁸ Timothy, my child, I am giving you ·a command [this charge/instruction] that agrees with the prophecies that were given about you in the past [4:14; 6:12]. I tell you this so that ·by following [or by recalling; ^Lby] them you can fight the good fight. ¹⁹ Continue to have faith and ·do what you know is right [^La good conscience]. Some people have rejected this, and their faith has been shipwrecked. ²⁰ Hymenaeus [2 Tim. 2:17] and Alexander [2 Tim. 4:14] have done that, and I have ·given them [handed them over] to Satan so they will learn not to ·speak against God [^Lblaspheme].
