Paulos, an apostle of Y'shua the Mashiyach, by the command of Elohim our Life-Giver, and of the Mashiyach Y'shua our hope;

to Timotheos, my true son in the faith: grace and mercy and peace, from Elohim our Father, and the Mashiyach Y'shua our Master.

When I was going into Macedonia, I requested you to remain at Ephesos, and to charge certain persons not to teach different doctrines;

and not to throw themselves into fables and stories of genealogies that have no end, which produce contention rather than edification in the faith of Elohim.

Now the end of the command is love, which is from a pure heart, and from a good conscience, and from true faith.

But from these some have strayed, and have turned aside to empty words;

desiring to be teachers of the law, while they do not understand anything they say, nor anything about which they contend.

Now we know that the law is good if a person conducts himself in it according to the law,

knowing that the law is not laid down for the righteous, but for the lawless and rebellious and for the ungodly and sinners and for the impure and for those who strike their fathers and those who strike their mothers and for murderers,

and for fornicators and for those who lie with males and for stealers of free people and for liars and for oath-breakers and for whatever is contrary to sound teaching,

namely that of the gospel of the glory of the blessed Elohim, with which I was entrusted.

And I thank him who strengthened me, even our Master Y'shua the Mashiyach, who counted me faithful and set me in his service;

me I say, who before was a blasphemer and a persecutor and a reviler; but I obtained mercy, because while I did not know I acted without faith.

And the grace of our Master abounded in me, and the faith and the love that are in Y'shua the Mashiyach.

Faithful is the word and worthy to be received, that Y'shua the Mashiyach came into the world to give life to sinners, of whom I am the first.

But for this reason he had mercy on me, that in me first Y'shua the Mashiyach might show all his long-suffering, for a demonstration to those who are going to believe in him for life eternal.

And to the King of the ages, who is incorruptible and invisible, who is the one Elohim, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

This command I commit to you, my son Timotheos, according to the former prophecies that were upon you, that you may war in them this good warfare.

in faith and a good conscience; for those who have repudiated this from them have become destitute of the faith;

like Humenayos and Aleksandros, whom I have delivered over to Satana, that they may be disciplined so they will not blaspheme.
