Warning Against False Teachers

3 As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine, (Ga 1:6; 1Ti 6:3; Tit 1:5) 4 nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship^[1] from God that is by faith. (1Ti 4:7; 1Ti 6:4; 2Ti 4:4; Tit 1:14; Tit 3:9; 2Pe 1:16)

1Ti 4:71Ti 6:42Ti 4:4Tit 1:14Tit 3:92Pe 1:16

5 The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. (Ro 12:9; 2Ti 1:5; 2Ti 2:22; 1Pe 3:16; 1Pe 3:21)

Ro 12:92Ti 1:52Ti 2:221Pe 3:161Pe 3:21

6 Certain persons, by swerving from these, have wandered away into vain discussion, (1Ti 6:21; Tit 1:10) 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions. (Col 2:18; 1Ti 6:4) 8 Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, (Ro 7:16) 9 understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, (Ga 5:23) 10 the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers,^[2] liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound^[3] doctrine, (1Ti 6:3; 2Ti 1:13; 2Ti 4:3; Tit 1:13; Tit 2:2)

1Ti 6:32Ti 1:132Ti 4:3Tit 1:13Tit 2:2

11 in accordance with the gospel of the glory of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted. (Ro 2:16; 2Co 4:4; Ga 2:7; 1Ti 6:15; Tit 1:3)

Christ Jesus Came to Save Sinners

12 I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service, (Ac 9:22; 2Co 3:6; Php 4:13) 13 though formerly I was a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, (Ac 3:17; Ac 8:3; 1Co 7:25; 2Co 4:1)

Ac 3:17Ac 8:31Co 7:252Co 4:1

14 and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. (Lu 7:47; Lu 7:50; Ro 5:20; 1Th 1:3)

Lu 7:47Lu 7:50Ro 5:201Th 1:3

15 The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. (Mt 9:13; Joh 3:17; Ro 4:25; 1Co 15:9; 1Ti 3:1; 1Ti 4:9; 2Ti 2:11; Tit 3:8; Re 22:6)

Mt 9:13Joh 3:17Ro 4:251Co 15:91Ti 3:11Ti 4:92Ti 2:11Tit 3:8Re 22:6

16 But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life. 17 To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever.^[4] Amen. (1Ch 29:11; Ps 10:16; Joh 1:18; Ro 1:23; Col 1:15; 1Ti 6:15; Heb 11:27; 1Jo 4:12; Jud 1:25; Re 4:9)

18 This charge I entrust to you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophecies previously made about you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, (1Co 9:7; 2Co 10:4; 1Ti 4:14; 1Ti 6:12; 2Ti 2:2; 2Ti 2:3)

1Co 9:72Co 10:41Ti 4:141Ti 6:122Ti 2:22Ti 2:3

19 holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have made shipwreck of their faith, (1Ti 3:9; 1Ti 6:9) 20 among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme. (Ac 13:45; 1Co 5:5; 2Ti 2:17; 2Ti 4:14)

الكتاب المقدس

1 مِنْ بُولُسَ، رَسُولِ الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ وَفْقاً لأَمْرِ اللهِ مُخَلِّصِنَا وَالْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ رَجَائِنَا، 2 إِلَى تِيمُوثَاوُسَ وَلَدِي الْحَقِيقِيِّ فِي الإِيمَانِ. لِتَكُنْ لَكَ النِّعْمَةُ وَالرَّحْمَةُ وَالسَّلامُ مِنَ اللهِ أَبِينَا وَالْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ رَبِّنَا!

تحذير من المعلمين الكذبة

3 كَمَا أَوْصَيْتُكَ لَمَّا كُنْتُ مُنْطَلِقاً إِلَى مُقَاطَعَةِ مَقِدُونِيَّةَ، (أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكَ) أَنْ تَبْقَى فِي مَدِينَةِ أَفَسُسَ، لِكَيْ تَمْنَعَ بَعْضَ الْمُعَلِّمِينَ مِنْ نَشْرِ التَّعَالِيمِ الْمُخَالِفَةِ لِلتَّعْلِيمِ الصَّحِيحِ، 4 وَتُوصِيَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَلَّا يَنْشَغِلُوا بِالأَسَاطِيرِ وَسَلاسِلِ النَّسَبِ الْمُتَشَابِكَةِ. فَتِلْكَ الأُمُورُ تُثِيرُ الْمُجَادَلاتِ وَلا تَعْمَلُ عَلَى تَقَدُّمِ تَدْبِيرِ اللهِ الْقَائِمِ عَلَى الإِيمَانِ. 5 أَمَّا الْغَايَةُ مِمَّا أَوْصَيْتُكَ بِهِ، فَهِيَ الْمَحَبَّةُ النَّابِعَةُ مِنْ قَلْبٍ طَاهِرٍ وَضَمِيرٍ صَالِحٍ وَإِيمَانٍ خَالٍ مِنَ الرِّيَاءِ. 6 هَذِهِ الْفَضَائِلُ قَدْ زَاغَ عَنْهَا بَعْضُهُمْ، فَانْحَرَفُوا إِلَى الْمُجَادَلاتِ الْبَاطِلَةِ، 7 رَاغِبِينَ فِي أَنْ يَكُونُوا أَسَاتِذَةً فِي الشَّرِيعَةِ، وَهُمْ لَا يَفْهَمُونَ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَلا مَا يُقَرِّرُونَ! 8 إِنَّنَا نَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الشَّرِيعَةَ جَيِّدَةٌ فِي ذَاتِهَا، إِذَا اسْتُعْمِلَتِ اسْتِعْمَالاً شَرْعِيًّا. 9 إِذْ نُدْرِكُ أَنَّ الشَّرِيعَةَ لَا تُوضَعُ لِمَنْ كَانَ بَارّاً، بَلْ لِلأَشْرَارِ وَالْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ، وَالْفَاجِرِينَ وَالْخَاطِئِينَ، وَالنَّجِسِينَ وَالدَّنِسِينَ، وَقَاتِلِي آبَائِهِمْ وَأُمَّهَاتِهِمْ، وَقَاتِلِي النَّاسِ، 10 وَالزُّنَاةِ وَمُضَاجِعِي الذُّكُورِ، وَخَطَّافِي النَّاسِ وَالْكَذَّابِينَ وَشَاهِدِي الزُّورِ. وَذَوِي كُلِّ شَرٍّ آخَرَ يُخَالِفُ التَّعْلِيمَ الصَّحِيحَ 11 الْمُوَافِقَ لإِنْجِيلِ مَجْدِ اللهِ الْمُبَارَكِ، ذَلِكَ الإِنْجِيلِ الَّذِي وُضِعَ أَمَانَةً بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ.

نعمة الرب لبولس

12 وَكَمْ أَشْكُرُ الْمَسِيحَ يَسُوعَ رَبَّنَا الَّذِي أَعْطَانِي الْقُدْرَةَ وَعَيَّنَنِي خَادِماً لَهُ، إِذِ اعْتَبَرَنِي جَدِيراً بِثِقَتِهِ، 13 مَعَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ فِي الْمَاضِي مُجَدِّفاً عَلَيْهِ، وَمُضْطَهِداً وَمُهِيناً لَهُ! وَلَكِنِّي عُومِلْتُ بِالرَّحْمَةِ، لأَنِّي عَمِلْتُ مَا عَمِلْتُهُ عَنْ جَهْلٍ وَفِي عَدَمِ إِيمَانٍ. 14 إِلَّا أَنَّ نِعْمَةَ رَبِّنَا قَدْ فَاضَتْ عَلَيَّ فَوْقَ كُلِّ حَدٍّ، وَمَعَهَا الإِيمَانُ وَالْمَحَبَّةُ، وَذَلِكَ فِي الْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ. 15 مَا أَصْدَقَ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ، وَمَا أَجْدَرَهُ بِالتَّصْدِيقِ الْكُلِّيِّ: إِنَّ الْمَسِيحَ يَسُوعَ قَدْ جَاءَ إِلَى الْعَالَمِ لِيُخَلِّصَ الْخَاطِئِينَ، وَأَنَا أَوَّلُهُمْ! 16 وَلَكِنْ لِهَذَا السَّبَبِ عُومِلْتُ بِالرَّحْمَةِ، لِيَجْعَلَ يَسُوعُ الْمَسِيحُ مِنِّي، أَنَا أَوَّلاً، مِثَالاً يُظْهِرُ صَبْرَهُ الطَّوِيلَ، لِجَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ سَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ لِنَوَالِ الْحَيَاةِ الأَبَدِيَّةِ. 17 فَلِلْمَلِكِ الأَزَلِيِّ، اللهِ الْوَاحِدِ غَيْرِ الْمَنْظُورِ وَغَيْرِ الْفَانِي، الْكَرَامَةُ وَالْمَجْدُ إِلَى أَبَدِ الآبِدِينَ. آمِين!

مسؤولية تيموثاوس

18 هذِهِ التَّوْصِيَاتُ، يَا تِيمُوثَاوُسُ وَلَدِي، أُسَلِّمُهَا لَكَ، بِمُقْتَضَى النُّبُوآتِ السَّابِقَةِ الْمُخْتَصَّةِ بِكَ، وَغَايَتِي أَنْ تُحْسِنَ الْجِهَادَ فِي حَرْبِكَ الرُّوحِيَّةِ، 19 مُتَمَسِّكاً بِالإِيمَانِ، وَبِالضَّمِيرِ الصَّالِحِ، هَذَا الضَّمِيرِ الَّذِي تَخَلَّى عَنْهُ بَعْضُهُمْ، فَانْكَسَرَتْ بِهِمْ سَفِينَةُ الإِيمَانِ. 20 وَمِنْ هؤُلاءِ هِمِنَايُوسُ وَإِسْكَنْدَرُ، وَقَدْ سَلَّمْتُهُمَا إِلَى الشَّيْطَانِ لِيتَعَلَّمَا بِالتَّأْدِيبِ أَلَّا يُجَدِّفَا.
