1 Paul Paulos, an apostle apostolos of Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous because kata of the command epitagē from God theos our hēmeis Savior sōtēr and kai Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous our hēmeis · ho hope elpis, ² to Timothy Timotheos, my true gnēsios spiritual en son teknon: Grace charis, mercy eleos, peace eirēnē from apo God theos the Father patēr and kai Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous our hēmeis · ho Lord kyrios.

³ Just kathōs as I urged parakaleō you sy to stay prosmenō on in en Ephesus Ephesos while I was traveling poreuō to eis Macedonia Makedonia, so hina that you might command parangellō certain tis people not mē to continue teaching heterodidaskaleō any different doctrine ⁴ or mēde to devote prosechō themselves to endless aperantos myths mythos and kai genealogies genealogia, which hostis produce parechō speculations ekzētēsis rather mallon than ē the stewardship oikonomia from God theos which ho is by en faith pistis. ⁵ But de the ho goal telos of this ho command parangelia is eimi love agapē from ek a clean katharos heart kardia and kai a clear agathos conscience syneidēsis and kai a sincere anypokritos faith pistis. ⁶ Some tis, having fallen astocheō short of these things hos, have wandered ektrepō away into eis senseless babble mataiologia, ⁷ wishing thelō to eimi be teachers nomodidaskalos of the law even though they do not mē understand noeō either mēte what hos they are saying legō or mēte concerning peri what tis things they are so dogmatically asserting diabebaioomai.

⁸ Now de we know oida that hoti the ho law nomos is good kalos if ean someone tis uses chraomai it autos lawfully nomimōs, ⁹ knowing oida this houtos, that hoti law nomos is not ou valid keimai for dikaios a righteous person dikaios but de for the lawless anomos and kai rebellious anypotaktos, irreligious asebēs and kai sinners hamartōlos, unholy anosios and kai profane bebēlos, those who beat their fathers patrolōas and kai mothers mētrolōas, murderers androphonos, ¹⁰ fornicators pornos, men who practice homosexuality arsenokoitēs, kidnappers andrapodistēs, liars pseustēs, perjurers epiorkos, and kai everything ei tis else heteros that ho is contrary to antikeimai healthy hygiainō teaching didaskalia, ¹¹ in conformity to kata the ho gospel euangelion of ho the glory doxa of the ho blessed makarios God theos with which hos I egō was entrusted pisteuō.

¹² I continually echō thank charis him who ho strengthened endynamoō me egō, Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous · ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios, since hoti he considered hēgeomai that even I egō would be faithful pistos, as evidenced by his appointing tithēmi me to eis service diakonia, ¹³ even though · ho formerly proteros I was eimi a blasphemer blasphēmos, · kai persecutor diōktēs, and kai an insolent person hybristēs. But alla I was shown mercy eleeō since hoti, being ignorant agnoeō, I had acted poieō in en unbelief apistia; ¹⁴ and de the ho grace charis of ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios completely overflowed hyperpleonazō for me with meta faith pistis and kai love agapē that ho are in en Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous. ¹⁵ Trustworthy pistos is the ho saying logos and kai worthy axios of complete pas acceptance apodochē: “ Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous came erchomai into eis the ho world kosmos in order to save sōzō sinners hamartōlos,” of whom hos I egō am eimi the foremost prōtos. ¹⁶ But alla for dia this houtos reason I was shown mercy eleeō: so that hina in en me egō as foremost prōtos Christ Christos Jesus Iēsous might display endeiknymi his ho complete hapas patience makrothumia as pros an illustration hypotypōsis for those ho who were mellō to believe pisteuō in epi him autos for eis eternal aiōnios life zōē. ¹⁷ Now de to the ho king basileus of ho ages aiōn, incorruptible aphthartos, invisible aoratos, the only monos God theos, be honor timē and kai glory doxa for eis all ho time aiōn ho. · ho Amen amēn.

11 And kai when hote they drew near engizō to eis Jerusalem Hierosolyma, Bethphage Bēthphagē, and kai Bethany Bēthania, at pros the ho Mount oros of ho Olives elaia, Jesus dispatched apostellō two dyo of ho his autos disciples mathētēs ² and kai said legō to them autos, “ Go hypagō into eis the ho village kōmē · ho directly katenanti ahead of you hymeis, and kai immediately upon entering eisporeuomai it autos you will find heuriskō a tethered deō colt pōlos on epi which hos no oudeis one anthrōpos has ever oupō sat kathizō. Untie lyō it autos and kai bring pherō it. ³ · kai If ean anyone tis says legō to you hymeis, ‘ Why tis are you doing poieō this houtos?’ say legō, ‘ The ho Lord kyrios has echō need chreia of it autos and kai will send apostellō it autos back palin here hōde as soon as possible.’” ⁴ So kai they went aperchomai away and kai found heuriskō a tethered deō colt pōlos at pros a door thura outside exō in epi the ho street amphodon, and kai they untied lyō it autos. ⁵ And kai some tis of those ho standing histēmi there ekei said legō to them autos, “ What tis are you doing poieō, untying lyō the ho colt pōlos?” ⁶ And de they ho spoke legō to them autos just kathōs as Jesus Iēsous had said legō, · ho and kai they gave aphiēmi them autos permission . ⁷ Then kai they brought pherō the ho colt pōlos to pros · ho Jesus Iēsous and kai threw epiballō their autos cloaks himation on it autos, · ho and kai he sat kathizō on epi it autos. ⁸ And kai many polys spread strōnnyō · ho their autos cloaks himation on eis the ho road hodos, while de others allos spread tall grass stibas, cutting koptō it from ek the ho fields agros. ⁹ And kai those ho who went proagō before and kai those ho who followed akoloutheō were crying krazō out , “ Hosanna hōsanna! Blessed eulogeō is he ho who comes erchomai in en the name onoma of the Lord kyrios! ¹⁰ Blessed eulogeō is the ho coming erchomai kingdom basileia of ho our hēmeis father patēr David Dauid! Hosanna hōsanna in en the ho highest hypsistos!” ¹¹ And kai he entered eiserchomai Jerusalem Hierosolyma and went into eis the ho temple hieron. And kai looking periblepō around at everything pas, the ho hour hōra already ēdē being eimi late opsia, he went exerchomai out to eis Bethany Bēthania with meta the ho twelve dōdeka.
