First Epistle of Paul to Timothy — Anonymous
Chapter 1
How to Refute Disturbance of Doctrine
From Paul, apostle of our Lord Jesus Christ, by the command of God our Savior and Jesus Christ our hope.
To Timothy, my son whom I love in faith: Greetings to you, and mercy and grace from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.
As I instructed you when I left for Macedonia, you are to remain in Ephesus, so that you may admonish them not to introduce another teaching.
And they are not to introduce corrupters and disturbers of doctrine who create division by what they teach, and they are to bring no accusation and are not to abandon the law of God concerning faith in love.
Now the fulfillment of the commandment is love, with a pure heart and good conduct, and faith without schism.
For there are those whom I have known and who have entered into vain discourse.
And while they wish to be teachers, they do not know what they themselves read.

We know that the Law is good for him who acts according to its statute, concerning the Law.
And we also know that it is not for the righteous that it is enacted, but for sinners, and for the wicked, and for the unjust, and for the violent who are far from righteousness, and for the impure of heart, and for the murderers of their fathers and mothers, and for the murderers of their relatives, and for the murderers of souls.
Of the dead, and those who go about as a woman with a man, thieves of people, sorcerers, and those who lie in falsehood. And there is also another thing, in what is opposed to the teaching of life.
Of the Gospel of the glory of the blessed Lord, in whom I have believed. I give thanks for his command.
I thank him who entrusted me and strengthened me in Christ Jesus our Lord, for he appointed me a believer for his epistle.
While formerly I was a scoffer and a persecutor and a blasphemer, and only he had mercy on me, for I acted without knowledge, without faith.
And the grace of God overflowed upon me, through his faith and the love of Jesus Christ our Lord.

The matter is true and right, and it is accepted by all, because Jesus Christ came into the world to save the sinners, of whom I am the first.
And only he has mercy on me, that he might show his miracles upon me, Jesus Christ, and his abundant patience. And I am an example for those who believe in him for eternal life.
Eternal king, who does not die and does not show himself, the only God, to whom belong glory and praise forever and ever, amen. I have written concerning the commandment.
This commandment I have written to you, O my son Timothy, as it was prophesied concerning you, that you might strive in every good deed.
While in you are faith and good conduct, for there are those whom I know who have fallen away from faith and have been broken.
Those of Hymenaeus and those of Alexander, those who have delivered themselves to Satan, will be condemned and will not learn the enemy.
Chapter 2
How one ought to pray for all
I have exhorted you before all: perform prayer, supplication, and intercession.

And because of this, pray for all people and for all kings and princes, that in humility and patience our life may be in all righteousness and purity.
This is good and chosen before the Lord our Savior.
For he desires that all people be saved and know righteousness.
One is God, and one is the chosen one between God and people: Jesus Christ, who became man, who gave himself as a ransom for all.
And he became a martyr in his time, for which I was appointed apostle and witness.
Truly I say, and I do not lie, I was appointed teacher for the nations in faith and righteousness.
And I desire that all people pray in every place, and raise their hands in purity without deceit and division.
And likewise, women should be adorned in prayer with the fear of God, and with modesty, and with heart, and with the purity of themselves from sin; not with gold chains, nor with adornment and garments of fine linen with precious silk; and not with the braiding of their hair.

...without [this], before [they] choose women, first [is] worship of God in teaching of righteousness and in good conduct, concerning the ordinance of teaching.
A woman in silence learns and is commanded in all humility; and a woman who teaches is arrogant and does not submit to a man.
[It is] better [for them] to be in silence.
Because Adam was created first, and after him Eve.
And Adam did not err, but woman erred and transgressed.
And [they] lived only for the sake of their children, if they remained in faith and in love and in holiness and in purity of themselves in understanding.
Chapter 3
Concerning the ordination of the priesthood.
If [one] desires [this] matter, let a bishop be appointed [who is] of good deed and will.
And only a true bishop shall be appointed, one who does not look upon the face [of partiality], who has no pretext, who has not taken one woman [as wife], a man [who is] vigilant and wise and a lover of people, one who has purified himself [as] a teacher and a rebuker.
One who does not drink much wine, one who does not quickly stretch out his hand for a blow, one who is not wrathful, one who does not love money.

...of good household order, who have children who are adorned in all purity.
And one who cannot order his household, how can he administer the house of God?
And let there be no new plant, as it does not grow, and does not sprout, and does not fall into the snares of Satan.
And again, a righteous man whose mouth is sweet, so that he does not fall into error and the snares of Satan on account of the office of deacon.
And deacons likewise, pure and continent, those of one voice, those who do not drink much wine, those who do not love the gain of money,
those who guard the counsel of their faith with a pure heart.
And for them, their counsels come first, and then they are chosen as the elect are.
And women likewise, those who purify themselves, those who are taught the ordinance, those who do not dispute, modest and righteous and faithful in all things, and they are chosen.
And a man who has one wife, who has children, of good household governance, on account of the office of priesthood.

This one who appeared in the flesh of man and was justified in spirit, and appeared to the angels, and they preached him among the Gentiles, and he was believed in the world, and ascended in glory.
Chapter 4
Prophecy concerning the wicked
And the spirit openly declares that in the last days many will raise up their faith, and they will worship evil demons and deceivers, and the teaching of Satan that lies.
False prophets, who are mad in their minds.
Those who hide the truth and deny the gifts that God created for the faithful, so that they may be nourished and those who know righteousness may be strengthened.

For every work of God is good, and there is nothing defective, and nothing is rejected if it is offered with thanksgiving, for it is sanctified by the word of God and by prayer.
And teach this to your brothers, and you will be a chosen one of the Lord Jesus Christ, while you nourish them with the word of faith and the good teaching which you have learned.
But for the teachers of heresies, it is unclean; abhor it, and restrain yourself for righteousness.
For circumcision of the flesh is for a short time only, but righteousness prevails in all things, and in it is the hope of life in this world and in the one to come.
Believe the word, and the chosen one will accept it in all things.
For concerning this we labor and strive, for we have trusted in the living and life-giving God for all people, and especially for the faithful.
Teach and command like this.
And there is none who will contradict your authority; and be an example and model for the faithful in your word and in your deeds, in love and in faith and in purity, for the sake of the grace of Jesus Christ.

And wait until I come, with reading and with teaching and with exhortation and with prayer.
And do not neglect the grace that is outside you, which was given to you together with prophecy and together with the laying on of the hands of the bishops.
Read this, and be thus, so that your teaching may be known in everything.
But guard yourself concerning reading, and always be in it. And if you have done this, you will save yourself, and this will be heard for you.
Chapter 5
Concerning the honor of the elders and their discipline.
Elders, do not be hasty; be disciplined as toward your father and toward the young as toward your brother.
And toward the elder women as toward your mother, and toward the young women as toward your sister, in all purity.
And honor the passage of years with righteousness.
And if there is among them a passage of years in which there are children or grandchildren, let them be taught before the assembly of their house, and let them establish their relatives, for thus it is good and proper before God.
But she who is a passage of years in faith, pure, who lives alone, for her trust is God, and she is joined to prayer and asks day and night.

First: The Epistle of Paul to Timothy — Anonymous
And if you find a dead person with a testament, she is alive while dead.
And like this, it is fitting that they judge and not be negligent.
And he who does not care for his house and abandons his relatives, he is a denier of his faith, and he is worse than one who does not believe, concerning the ordination of deacons.
And if you have chosen, choose a winter of six months, which one man has brought forth.
She who is nourished by all good works, if she has borne children. And if she has been widowed, and if she has found the foot of the righteous, and if she has given dry bread, and all good works, if she has been changed.
And for the poor widows, they are hidden and do not shine, so that they may not be found above Christ, and he wishes to bring them to marriage.
And strong is their judgment, for the denial of their faith is first.
And again, they learn sorcery and magic, while they go around houses. And not only sorcery, but also they increase speech, and they do works of vanity, things that do not exist.

English
I permit that the poor may be given to and inherit and become owners of a house, and no cause shall be found, nor even one of those who oppress them, an enemy, as if they would harm themselves.
For there are those who have been baptized and have chosen Satan.
And if there are believers who have a testament, let it be kept, and let it not be increased over the church, as it is able for those who are faithful in testaments, concerning the increase of wisdom for the clergy.
But those who are good, the clergy have been sent; an increase of honor is due to them, and moreover, to those who labor in word and teaching.
And the book says: Do not finish your mouth for the laity when it is time to give your food, and give oil to him who is anointed, concerning the order of the church.
Over a layman, do not hear a complaint without two or three witnesses.
And for those who have erred, before all, rebuke them so that others may fear.
Listen to me before God and Jesus Christ and his chosen angels, that you may keep this while you do not judge and do not justify a person before the law, and do not do anything in which you are suspected.

English
And do not be quick, nor any, and do not be involved in this in the sin of another.
And cleanse yourself, and do not drink water of drunkenness, a little wine, because of the pain of your liver and because of your chronic illness.
There is a person who knows his sin and flees into judgment, and there is one whom his sin pursues.
And likewise, one who does good is known, and another whose deed is not hidden.
Chapter 6
Concerning the Rule of the House
And all residents and righteous ones, honor your masters in all things, so that they do not blaspheme against the name of God and against his teaching.
And those who have masters, faithful ones, do not be arrogant, for their brothers are they in faith. Moreover, they should be zealous for them one after another, for they are believers and beloved. And for these, they should trust and rejoice in them, as this one taught and commanded and instructed them.
And if there is one who teaches another and does not come to the teaching of the word of life, which is the word of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the teaching of righteousness.

He who is beaten while there is no one who knows, without a whip, who desires, and the matter of the tongue, from which comes, having been heated and sharpened, evil counsel and cunning.
He leads astray men, the righteous and those who have gone out from righteousness, and he makes them despise the righteousness of God, the work, because of one who is far from evil and the love of money.
They have been mocked, for these, for our work is great, the fear of God.
For there is nothing that we have brought into the world, and there is nothing that we can take away from it.
As we have found our food and our provision, so it nourishes us.
And those who wish to eat fall into destruction, and many kinds of gluttony of the belly that afflicts them, and that which causes men to sink into shame and death.
For the root of all evil is the love of money. For many who have erred in this and changed their faith, and have desired for themselves many whips because of good.

And you, O man of God, flee from this, and pursue righteousness, mercy, faith, love, patience, and humility.
Fight the good fight in faith for those who have been called to eternal life, to which you have been summoned. And you have believed the good confession before many witnesses.
Just as I remind you of this before God, who raises the dead, and before Jesus Christ, who became a witness before Pilate the Pontine, in the good confession.
So that you may keep this commandment in purity, without transgression, until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
He who will appear in his time, the only blessed and mighty King of kings and Lord of lords.
He is the only one who does not die, and in him is light that does not vanish before the world. There is no one who has seen him, and no one who can see him. To him belong glory, praise, and power forever and ever. Amen. Concerning the commandment for the virgins.

For the rulers of this world, command them that they should not be proud and should not trust in their own wealth, which passes away, except in the living God, who gives us all things in the abundance of his wealth, so that we may rejoice.
Let them do good works and increase in the practice of righteousness, and let them be merciful, charitable, and generous.
And let them lay for themselves a good foundation for the world to come, so that they may obtain life in truth.
O Timothy, guard your covenant; beware of the impure ones who bring vain words and corrupt righteousness with falsehood.
For these are fallen from the hope of faith. Grace be with you. Amen.
