## đź“ś Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
### Salutation
**Principle**:
[[#Verse 01.]] From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,Â
[[#Verse 01.]] to Timothy, my genuine child in the faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!
### Timothy’s Task in Ephesus
**Principle**:
[[#Verse 03.]] As I urged you when I was leaving for Macedonia, stay on in Ephesus to instruct certain people not to spread false teachings,Â
[[#Verse 04.]] nor to occupy themselves with myths and interminable genealogies. Such things promote useless speculations rather than God’s redemptive plan that operates by faith.
[[#Verse 05.]] But the aim of our instruction is love that comes from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith.Â
[[#Verse 06.]]Â Some have strayed from these and turned away to empty discussion.Â
[[#Verse 07.]]Â 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.
[[#Verse 08.]]Â But we know that the law is good if someone uses it legitimately,Â
[[#Verse 09.]] 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,Â
[[#Verse 10.]] sexually immoral people, practicing homosexuals, kidnappers, liars, perjurers—in fact, for any who live contrary to sound teaching.
[[#Verse 11.]] This accords with the glorious gospel of the blessed God that was entrusted to me.
[[#Verse 12.]]Â I am grateful to the one who has strengthened me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he considered me faithful in putting me into ministry,Â
[[#Verse 13.]] 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,Â
[[#Verse 14.]] and our Lord’s grace was abundant, bringing faith and love in Christ Jesus.Â
[[#Verse 15.]] This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”—and I am the worst of them!Â
[[#Verse 16.]] 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.Â
[[#Verse 17.]] Now to the eternal king, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever! Amen.
[[#Verse 18.]] 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.Â
[[#Verse 19.]] 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.Â
[[#Verse 20.]] Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme.
