1 Pablo, un apóstol de Cristo Jesús por mandato de Dios nuestro Salvador, y de Cristo Jesús nuestra esperanza, 2 a Timoteo, legítimo hijo en [la ]fe. Gracia, misericordia, paz de Dios Padre y de Cristo Jesús nuestro Señor. 3 Cuando pasé a Macedonia te rogué permanecer en Éfeso para que mandaras a algunos que no ofrecieran instrucción diferente, 4 ni pusieran atención a fábulas y genealogías interminables, las cuales más bien promueven especulaciones inútiles y no la administración de Dios que es por fe. 5 Pues el propósito de esta instrucción es [el] amor de corazón puro, buena conciencia y fe sincera, 6 de las cuales, algunos perdieron el camino y fueron desviados hacia vacía palabrería. 7 Deseaban ser maestros de la Ley sin entender lo que dicen, ni las cosas que hablan de manera absoluta. 8 Pero sabemos que [la] Ley es buena cuando alguno habla legítimamente. 9 Reconocemos que [la] Ley no se instituyó para [el] justo, sino para inicuos y desobedientes, ateos y pecadores, perversos y profanos, patricidas y matricidas, homicidas, 10 inmorales sexuales, homosexuales, secuestradores, mentirosos, perjuros y si hay algún otro que se opone a [la ]sana doctrina, 11 según las Buenas Noticias de la gloria del bendito Dios, las cuales se me encomendaron. 12 Estoy agradecido al que me fortaleció, a Cristo Jesús nuestro Señor, porque al ponerme en el ministerio, me consideró fiel. 13 Había sido un blasfemo, perseguidor e insolente. Pero me fue otorgada misericordia porque procedí por ignorancia en incredulidad. 14 Pero la gracia de nuestro Señor estuvo presente en gran abundancia con fe y amor en Cristo Jesús. 15 La Palabra es fiel y digna de toda aceptación: Cristo Jesús vino al mundo a salvar pecadores, de los cuales yo soy [el ]primero. 16 Pero por esto [me ]fue otorgada misericordia, a fin de que Cristo Jesús demuestre toda longanimidad primero en mí como ejemplo de los que creerían en Él para vida eterna. 17 Por tanto, al Rey de los siglos, inmortal, invisible, al único Dios, sean [el ]honor y [la ]gloria por los siglos de los siglos. Amén. 18 Este mandato te encargo, hijo Timoteo, para que conforme a las profecías que preceden sobre ti, te sirvas de ellas en el noble combate, 19 y mantengas [la ]fe y la buena conciencia. Algunos naufragaron respecto a la fe al rechazarlas, 20 de los cuales son Himeneo y Alejandro, a quienes entregué a Satanás para que aprendieran a no blasfemar.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 1:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on First Timothy (Homily I)

    [The R.V. omits kuriouand translates: Christ Jesus our hope, tes elpidos hemon.] 1. Great and admirable is the dignity of an Apostle, and we find Paul constantly setting forth the causes of it, not as if he took the honor to himself, but as intrusted with it, and being under the necessity of so doing.

  2. Quotes verse 1:4 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book I, Preface)

    Inasmuch as certain men have set the truth aside, and bring in lying words and vain genealogies, which, as the apostle says, "minister questions rather than godly edifying which is in faith," and by means of their craftily-constructed plausibilities draw away the minds of the inexperienced and take them captive, [I have felt constrained, my dear friend, to compose the …

  3. Quotes verse 1:15 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book IV, Chapters VIII–XII)

    He would not be long with us, yet left us not; for He departed thither, whence He never departed, because "the world was made by Him." And in this world He was, and into this world He came to save sinners, unto whom my soul doth confess, that He may heal it, for it hath sinned against Him.

For that animal too is said to destroy the mother that is in travail with her, and eating through her belly, thus to come forth unto light; which kind of thing these men also did being "murderers of fathers, and murderers of mothers," and destroying their instructors with their own hands.
