1 Παύλος, απόστολος Ιησού Χριστού, κατ' επιταγήν Θεού του Σωτήρος ημών και Κυρίου Ιησού Χριστού της ελπίδος ημών,
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
1 Παῦλος, ἀπόστολος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ κατ᾽ ἐπιταγὴν Θεοῦ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν καὶ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τῆς ἐλπίδος ἡμῶν,
2 προς Τιμόθεον, το γνήσιον τέκνον εις την πίστιν· είη χάρις, έλεος, ειρήνη από Θεού Πατρός ημών και Χριστού Ιησού του Κυρίου ημών.
2 to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
2 Τιμοθέῳ γνησίῳ τέκνῳ ἐν πίστει· χάρις, ἔλεος, εἰρήνη ἀπὸ Θεοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν καὶ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν.
3 Καθώς σε παρεκάλεσα απερχόμενος εις Μακεδονίαν, να προσμείνης εν Εφέσω, διά να παραγγείλης εις τινάς να μη ετεροδιδασκαλώσι
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,
3 Καθὼς παρεκάλεσά σε προσμεῖναι ἐν Ἐφέσῳ, πορευόμενος εἰς Μακεδονίαν, ἵνα παραγγείλῃς τισὶ μὴ ἑτεροδιδασκαλεῖν
4 μηδέ να προσέχωσιν εις μύθους και γενεαλογίας απεράντους, αίτινες προξενούσι φιλονεικίας μάλλον παρά την εις την πίστιν οικοδομήν του Θεού, ούτω πράττε·
4 and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.
4 μηδὲ προσέχειν μύθοις καὶ γενεαλογίαις ἀπεράντοις, αἵτινες ζητήσεις παρέχουσι μᾶλλον ἢ οἰκονομίαν Θεοῦ τὴν ἐν πίστει·
5 το δε τέλος της παραγγελίας είναι αγάπη εκ καθαράς καρδίας και συνειδήσεως αγαθής και πίστεως ανυποκρίτου,
5 But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith,
5 τὸ δὲ τέλος τῆς παραγγελίας ἐστὶν ἀγάπη ἐκ καθαρᾶς καρδίας καὶ συνειδήσεως ἀγαθῆς καὶ πίστεως ἀνυποκρίτου,
6 από των οποίων αποπλανηθέντες τινές εξετράπησαν εις ματαιολογίαν.
6 from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,
6 ὧν τινες ἀστοχήσαντες ἐξετράπησαν εἰς ματαιολογίαν,
7 Θέλοντες να ήναι νομοδιδάσκαλοι, ενώ δεν νοούσιν ούτε όσα λέγουσιν ούτε περί τίνων διϊσχυρίζονται.
7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say nor about what they strongly affirm.
7 θέλοντες εἶναι νομοδιδάσκαλοι, μὴ νοοῦντες μήτε ἃ λέγουσι μήτε περὶ τίνων διαβεβαιοῦνται.
8 Εξεύρομεν δε ότι ο νόμος είναι καλός, εάν τις μεταχειρίζηται αυτόν νομίμως,
8 But we know that the law is good if a person uses it lawfully,
8 Οἴδαμεν δὲ ὅτι καλὸς ὁ νόμος, ἐάν τις αὐτῷ νομίμως χρῆται,
9 γνωρίζων τούτο, ότι ο νόμος δεν ετέθη διά τον δίκαιον, αλλά διά τους ανόμους και ανυποτάκτους, τους ασεβείς και αμαρτωλούς, τους ανοσίους και βεβήλους, τους πατροκτόνους και μητροκτόνους, τους ανδροφόνους,
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,
9 εἰδὼς τοῦτο, ὅτι δικαίῳ νόμος οὐ κεῖται, ἀνόμοις δὲ καὶ ἀνυποτάκτοις, ἀσεβέσι καὶ ἁμαρτωλοῖς, ἀνοσίοις καὶ βεβήλοις, πατρολῴαις καὶ μητρολῴαις, ἀνδροφόνοις,
10 πόρνους, αρσενοκοίτας, ανδραποδιστάς, ψεύστας, επιόρκους, και ει τι άλλο αντιβαίνει εις την υγιαίνουσαν διδασκαλίαν,
10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,
10 πόρνοις, ἀρσενοκοίταις, ἀνδραποδισταῖς, ψεύσταις, ἐπιόρκοις, καὶ εἴ τι ἕτερον τῇ ὑγιαινούσῃ διδασκαλίᾳ ἀντίκειται,
11 κατά το ευαγγέλιον της δόξης του μακαρίου Θεού, το οποίον εγώ ενεπιστεύθην.
11 according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
11 κατὰ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς δόξης τοῦ μακαρίου Θεοῦ, ὃ ἐπιστεύθην ἐγώ.
12 Και ευχαριστώ τον ενδυναμώσαντά με Ιησούν Χριστόν τον Κύριον ημών, ότι ενέκρινε πιστόν και έταξεν εις την διακονίαν εμέ,
12 I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service,
12 Καὶ χάριν ἔχω τῷ ἐνδυναμώσαντί με Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ τῷ Κυρίῳ ἡμῶν, ὅτι πιστόν με ἡγήσατο, θέμενος εἰς διακονίαν
13 τον πρότερον όντα βλάσφημον και διώκτην και υβριστήν· ηλεήθην όμως, διότι αγνοών έπραξα εν απιστία,
13 although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
13 τὸν πρότερον ὄντα βλάσφημον καὶ διώκτην καὶ ὑβριστήν· ἀλλ᾽ ἠλεήθην, ὅτι ἀγνοῶν ἐποίησα ἐν ἀπιστίᾳ,
14 αλλ' υπερεπερίσσευσεν η χάρις του Κυρίου ημών μετά πίστεως και αγάπης της εν Χριστώ Ιησού.
14 The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 ὑπερεπλεόνασε δὲ ἡ χάρις τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν μετὰ πίστεως καὶ ἀγάπης τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ.
15 Πιστός ο λόγος και πάσης αποδοχής άξιος, ότι ο Ιησούς Χριστός ήλθεν εις τον κόσμον διά να σώση τους αμαρτωλούς, των οποίων πρώτος είμαι εγώ·
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.
15 Πιστὸς ὁ λόγος καὶ πάσης ἀποδοχῆς ἄξιος, ὅτι Χριστὸς Ἰησοῦς ἦλθεν εἰς τὸν κόσμον ἁμαρτωλοὺς σῶσαι, ὧν πρῶτός εἰμι ἐγώ·
16 αλλά διά τούτο ηλεήθην, διά να δείξη ο Ιησούς Χριστός εις εμέ πρώτον την πάσαν μακροθυμίαν, εις παράδειγμα των μελλόντων να πιστεύωσιν εις αυτόν εις ζωήν αιώνιον.
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.
16 ἀλλὰ διὰ τοῦτο ἠλεήθην, ἵνα ἐν ἐμοὶ πρώτῳ ἐνδείξηται Ἰησοῦς Χριστὸς τὴν πᾶσαν μακροθυμίαν, πρὸς ὑποτύπωσιν τῶν μελλόντων πιστεύειν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον.
17 εις δε τον βασιλέα των αιώνων, τον άφθαρτον, τον αόρατον, τον μόνον σοφόν Θεόν, είη τιμή και δόξα εις τους αιώνας των αιώνων· αμήν.
17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
17 Τῷ δὲ βασιλεῖ τῶν αἰώνων, ἀφθάρτῳ, ἀοράτῳ, μόνῳ σοφῷ Θεῷ, τιμὴ καὶ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων· ἀμήν.
18 Ταύτην την παραγγελίαν παραδίδω εις σε, τέκνον Τιμόθεε, κατά τας προγενομένας προφητείας περί σου, να στρατεύης κατ' αυτάς την καλήν στρατείαν,
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,
18 Ταύτην τὴν παραγγελίαν παρατίθεμαί σοι, τέκνον Τιμόθεε, κατὰ τὰς προαγούσας ἐπὶ σὲ προφητείας, ἵνα στρατεύῃ ἐν αὐταῖς τὴν καλὴν στρατείαν,
19 έχων πίστιν και αγαθήν συνείδησιν, την οποίαν τινές αποβαλόντες εναυάγησαν εις την πίστιν·
19 holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith,
19 ἔχων πίστιν καὶ ἀγαθὴν συνείδησιν, ἥν τινες ἀπωσάμενοι περὶ τὴν πίστιν ἐναυάγησαν·
20 εκ των οποίων είναι ο Υμέναιος και Αλέξανδρος, τους οποίους παρέδωκα εις τον Σατανάν, διά να μάθωσι να μη βλασφημώσι.
20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
20 ὧν ἐστιν Ὑμέναιος καὶ Ἀλέξανδρος, οὓς παρέδωκα τῷ σατανᾷ, ἵνα παιδευθῶσι μὴ βλασφημεῖν.

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.
