1 παυλοσ αποστολοσ ιησου χριστου κατ επιταγην θεου σωτηροσ ημων και κυριου ιησου χριστου τησ ελπιδοσ ημων
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
2 τιμοθεω γνησιω τεκνω εν πιστει χαρισ ελεοσ ειρηνη απο θεου πατροσ ημων και χριστου ιησου του κυριου ημων
2 to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 καθωσ παρεκαλεσα σε προσμειναι εν εφεσω πορευομενοσ εισ μακεδονιαν ινα παραγγειλησ τισιν μη ετεροδιδασκαλειν
3 As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine,
4 μηδε προσεχειν μυθοισ και γενεαλογιαισ απεραντοισ αιτινεσ ζητησεισ παρεχουσιν μαλλον η οικονομιαν θεου την εν πιστει
4 and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.
5 το δε τελοσ τησ παραγγελιασ εστιν αγαπη εκ καθαρασ καρδιασ και συνειδησεωσ αγαθησ και πιστεωσ ανυποκριτου
5 But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith,
6 ων τινεσ αστοχησαντεσ εξετραπησαν εισ ματαιολογιαν
6 from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,
7 θελοντεσ ειναι νομοδιδασκαλοι μη νοουντεσ μητε α λεγουσιν μητε περι τινων διαβεβαιουνται
7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say nor about what they strongly affirm.
8 οιδαμεν δε οτι καλοσ ο νομοσ εαν τισ αυτω νομιμωσ χρηται
8 But we know that the law is good if a person uses it lawfully,
9 ειδωσ τουτο οτι δικαιω νομοσ ου κειται ανομοισ δε και ανυποτακτοισ ασεβεσιν και αμαρτωλοισ ανοσιοισ και βεβηλοισ πατρολωαισ και μητρολωαισ ανδροφονοισ
9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 πορνοισ αρσενοκοιταισ ανδραποδισταισ ψευσταισ επιορκοισ και ει τι ετερον τη υγιαινουση διδασκαλια αντικειται
10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,
11 κατα το ευαγγελιον τησ δοξησ του μακαριου θεου ο επιστευθην εγω
11 according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
12 και χαριν εχω τω ενδυναμωσαντι με χριστω ιησου τω κυριω ημων οτι πιστον με ηγησατο θεμενοσ εισ διακονιαν
12 I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service,
13 τον προτερον οντα βλασφημον και διωκτην και υβριστην αλλα ηλεηθην οτι αγνοων εποιησα εν απιστια
13 although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
14 υπερεπλεονασεν δε η χαρισ του κυριου ημων μετα πιστεωσ και αγαπησ τησ εν χριστω ιησου
14 The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
15 πιστοσ ο λογοσ και πασησ αποδοχησ αξιοσ οτι χριστοσ ιησουσ ηλθεν εισ τον κοσμον αμαρτωλουσ σωσαι ων πρωτοσ ειμι εγω
15 The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
16 αλλα δια τουτο ηλεηθην ινα εν εμοι πρωτω ενδειξηται ιησουσ χριστοσ την πασαν μακροθυμιαν προσ υποτυπωσιν των μελλοντων πιστευειν επ αυτω εισ ζωην αιωνιον
16 However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life.
17 τω δε βασιλει των αιωνων αφθαρτω αορατω μονω σοφω θεω τιμη και δοξα εισ τουσ αιωνασ των αιωνων αμην
17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
18 ταυτην την παραγγελιαν παρατιθεμαι σοι τεκνον τιμοθεε κατα τασ προαγουσασ επι σε προφητειασ ινα στρατευη εν αυταισ την καλην στρατειαν
18 I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them you may wage the good warfare,
19 εχων πιστιν και αγαθην συνειδησιν ην τινεσ απωσαμενοι περι την πιστιν εναυαγησαν
19 holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith,
20 ων εστιν υμεναιοσ και αλεξανδροσ ουσ παρεδωκα τω σατανα ινα παιδευθωσιν μη βλασφημειν
20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they might be taught not to blaspheme.

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).
[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.

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 …
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.

… of vipers." 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.
