The FIRST letter of Paul to Timothy

1st Timothy 1: PAUL, a herald of Yeshua the Messiah, by the command of God our life-giver, and of the Messiah, Yeshua our hope; 2 to Timothy, my true son in the faith: *merciful kindness* and mercy and peace, from God our Father, and the Messiah, Yeshua our Master. 3 When I was going into Macedonia, I requested you to remain at Ephesus, and to charge certain persons not to teach different doctrines; 4 and not to throw themselves into fables and stories about genealogies, of which there is no end, which produce contention rather than edification in the faith of God. 5 Now the aim* [5056] of the Commandments is love, which is from a pure mind, and from a clear conscience, and from faith *without hypocrisy* [505]. 6 But from these some have swerved, and have turned to *double talk* [3150]. 7 They decided to be teachers of the Torah*, yet they didnt understand what they were saying, nor anything about what they *confidently asserted*. 8 Now, we know, that the Torah* is a good thing, if a man conducts himself in it, according to the Torah*, 9 he knowing that the Torah* was not established for the righteous, but for the evil, and the rebellious, and the wicked, and the sinful, and the perverse and for the impure, and for smiters of their fathers and smiters of their mothers, and for murderers, 10 and for fornicators, and for sodomites, and for the thieves of free people, and for liars, and for those who violate oaths, and for whatever is contrary to sound doctrine, 11 namely that of the glorious *Good News* of the blessed God, with which I am entrusted. 12 I thank him who strengthened me, even our Master Yeshua the Messiah; who accounted me faithful, and appointed me to his ministry; 13 me I say, who was previously a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a reviler; but I obtained mercy, because I did it while ignorant and without faith. 14 In me the *merciful kindness* of our Master abounded, and faith and love, which is in Yeshua the Messiah. 15 Faithful is the declaration, and worthy to be received, that Yeshua the Messiah came into the world to give life to sinners, of who I was the primary. 16 But for this reason had he mercy on me, that in me first Yeshua the Messiah might display all his long suffering, for an example to them who were to believe on him to eternal life. 17 To the king eternal, incorruptible, and invisible, the sole God, be honor and praise forever and ever! Amen. 18 This injunction I commit to you, my son Timothy, according to the former predictions concerning you, that in them you might war this good warfare, 19 in faith and a good conscience; for they who have repudiated this, have become destitute of faith; 20 like Hymeneus and Alexander, who I have delivered up to Satan, that they may learn not to be blasphemers.

1st Timothy 2: I exhort you, so, first of all, that you present to God supplication, and prayer, and intercession, and thanksgiving, for all men: 2 for kings and magistrates, that we may dwell in a quiet and tranquil habitation, with all reverence for God, and with purity. 3 For this is good and acceptable before God our life-giver; 4 who would have all men live, and be converted to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For God is one; and the mediator between God and men is one, namely the man Yeshua the Messiah; 6 who gave himself a ransom for every man; a testimony that arrived in due time, 7 of which I am constituted an ambassador [2783] and a herald. I speak the truth, and dont lie, for I am the teacher of the nations* in the belief of the truth. 8 I desire that men may pray in every place, while they lift up their hands with purity, without wrath, and without disputations. 9 So also, that women appear in a chaste fashion of dress; and that their adorning be with modesty and chastity; not with curls, or with gold, or with pearls, or with splendid robes; 10 but with good works, as becomes women who profess reverence for God. 11 Let a woman learn in silence, with all submission: 12 for I dont allow a woman to teach, or to be assuming over the man; but let her remain in stillness. 13 For Adam was first formed, and then Eve. 14 Adam was not seduced, but the woman was seduced and transgressed the command. 15 Yet she lives by means of her children, if they continue in the faith, and in love, and in sanctity, and in chastity.

1st Timothy 3: It is a faithful saying, that if a man desires the eldership, he desires a good work. 2 An elder should be such, that no blame can be found in him; and he should be the husband of one wife, with a vigilant mind, and sober and regular in his habits, and affectionate to strangers, and instructive; 3 and not a transgressor in regard to wine, and whose hand is not swift to strike; but he should be humble, and not contentious, nor a lover of money; 4 and one who guides well his own house, and holds his children in subjection with all purity. 5 For if he doesnt know how to guide his own house well, how can he guide the assembly of God. 6 Neither let him be of recent discipleship; for fear that he would be uplifted, and fall into the condemnation of Satan. 7 There should be good testimony of him from those [outside]; for fear that he might fall into reproach and the snare of Satan. 8 So also the servants should be pure, not double speakers, nor inclined to too much wine, nor loves of base gains; 9 but should hold the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience. 10 Let them be first tested, and then let them serve, if they are without blame. 11 So also the wives should be chaste and of vigilant minds; and they should be faithful in everything; and they shouldnt be slanderers. 12 Let the servants* only have one wife each and guide well their children and households. 13 For those who serve well procure for themselves a good degree, and much boldness in the faith of Yeshua the Messiah. 14 These things I write to you, while hoping to come to you soon; 15 but if I should delay, that you may know how you should conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the assembly of the living God. [A] The pillar and the foundation of the truth, 16 and truly great, is this mystery of righteousness, which was revealed in the flesh, and justified in the spirit, and seen by holy Messengers, and proclaimed among the Nations, and believed on in the world, and received up into glory.

[A] The structure of these sentences is the same in the Aramaic and in the Greek: and by following the punctuation of Griesbach, Knapp, and other modern editors of the Greek Scriptures, the Aramaic is accurately translated as above. The reading of _ or _, instead of _, in verse 16, is supported by the Aramaic version.

1st Timothy 4: But the Spirit says explicitly, that in the latter times, some will depart from the faith; and will go after deceptive spirits, and after the doctrine of demons. 2 These will seduce, by a false appearance; and will utter a lie, and will be seared in their conscience; 3 and will forbid to marry; and will require abstinence from meats, which God has created for use and for thankfulness, by them who believe and know the truth. 4 Because whatever is created by God is good; and there is nothing which should be rejected if it be received with thankfulness; 5 for it is *made holy* by the Word of Yehovah’ [1] and by prayer. 6 If you inculcate these things on your brethren, you’ll be a good servant* of Yeshua the Messiah, being educated in the language of the faith, and in the good doctrine which you have been taught. 7 But you should shun silly old wives tales and occupy yourself with righteousness. 8 For, exercising the body is profitable a little while; but righteousness is every way profitable and has promise of the life of the present time and of the one to come. 9 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of reception. 10 For on this account, we toil and suffer reproach; because we trust in the living God, who is the life-giver of all men, especially of the believers. 11 Teach these things, and inculcate them. 12 Let no one despise your youth; but be a pattern for the believers, in speech, and in behavior, and in love, and in faith, and in purity. 13 Until I come, be diligent in reading, and in prayer, and in teaching. 14 Dont despise the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy, and by the laying on of the hand of the eldership. 15 Meditate on these things; give yourself wholly to them: so that it may be obvious to all that you make advances. 16 Be attentive to yourself, and to your teaching; and persevere in them. For in doing this, you’ll procure life to yourself and to those who hear you.

[1] in Leviticus 11

1st Timothy 5: Dont chide an elder, but entreat him as a father; and the younger men, as your brothers; 2 and the elder women, as mothers; and the younger women, as your sisters, with all purity. 3 Honor widows, who is truly widows. 4 But if a widow has children, or grandchildren, let them first learn to show kindness to their own households, and to repay the obligations to their parents; for this is acceptable before God. 5 Now she who is truly a widow, and solitary, her hope is in God; and she perseveres in prayers, and in supplications, by night and by day: 6 But she who follows pleasure, is dead while she lives. 7 These things enjoin on them, that they may be blameless. 8 But if anyone doesnt care for them who is his own, and especially for those who are of the household of faith, he has rejected the faith, and is worse than the unbelievers. 9 So Select you the widow, who is not less than sixty years old, and who has been the wife of one man, 10 and has a reputation for good works; if she have trained up children, if she have entertained strangers, if she have washed the feet of Saints, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have walked in every good work. 11 But the younger widows do you reject; for they wax wanton against the Messiah, and desire to be married: 12 and their condemnation is fixed, because they have cast off their former faith. 13 They also learn idleness, wandering from house to house; and not only idleness, but also to talk excessively, and pursing vanities, and uttering what they shouldnt. 14 I would so, that the younger women marry, and bear children, and regulate their houses; and that they give no occasion to the adversary for reproach. 15 For some have already begun to turn aside after Satan. 16 If any believing man or believing woman have widows, let them support them; and let them not be a burden on the assembly; so that there may be a sufficient for those who are really widows. 17 Let the elders who moderate* [1] well, be esteemed worthy of double honor; especially they who labor in the word and in doctrine. 18 For the Scriptures says, “You’ll not muzzle the ox in threshing”; and, “The laborer is worthy of his wages”. 19 Against an elder, dont receive a complaint, except at the mouth of two or three witnesses. 20 Those who sin before all rebuke; that the rest of the people may fear. 21 I charge you, before God, and our Master Yeshua the Messiah, and His Select holy Messengers, that you observe these things; and let not your mind be preoccupied by anything: and do nothing with a respect for persons. 22 Dont lay the hand hastily on any man; and dont participate in the sins of others; keep yourself pure. 23 From now on dont drink water, but drink a little wine; for your stomach, and your continuing infirmities. 24 There are persons, whose sins are known, and go before them to the place of judgment; and there are some, who they follow after. 25 So also good deeds are known: and those which are otherwise cant be hidden.

[1] Strong’s 4291, a compound Greek word that literally means: “before” & “to cause or make to stand” ie “in the presence of others, in the midst, before judges, before members of the Sanhedrin” —OBGL.

1st Timothy 6: Let those who are under the yoke of servitude, hold their Masters in all honor; for fear that the name of God and his doctrine would be reproached. 2 Let them who have believing Masters, not treat them with disrespect, because they are their brethren; but let them be more obedient, because they are believers and beloved, in whose service they enjoy quietness. These things teach you, and request of them. 3 But if there be any one, who teaches a different doctrine, and doesnt accede to the salutary words of our Master Yeshua the Messiah, and to the doctrine of the fear of God, 4 he is one who exhalts himself, while he knows nothing; and he languishes in the search and inquiry about words, from which come envy, and contention, and railing, and evil surmising, 5 and the disputation of men, whose minds are corrupt and destitute of the truth, and who suppose that gain is godliness. But from these stand you aloof. 6 But great is our gain, which is the fear of God, with the use of our competence. 7 For we brought nothing into the world; and we know that we can carry nothing out of it. 8 so, food and clothing satisfy us. 9 But they who desire to become rich, fall into temptations, and into snares, and into many lusts which are foolish and hurtful, and which drown men in destruction and perdition: 10 for the love of money is the root of all these evils. And there are some who, coveting it, have erred from the faith, and brought themselves into many sorrows. 11 But you,O man of God, flee from these things; and follow after righteousness, and rectitude, and faith, and love, and patience, and humility. 12 Contend in the good contest of faith; and lay hold of eternal life, to which you are called, and of which you have confessed a good confession before many witnesses. 13 I charge you, before God, who quickens all, and before Yeshua the Messiah who attested a good testimony before Pontius Pilate, 14 that you keep the injunction, without stain, and without blemish, until the manifestation of our Master Yeshua the Messiah; 15 which God will, in due time make visible; God the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and the Lord of lords; 16 who only is incorruptible, and dwells in light to which no one can approach; and who no man has seen, or even can see: to him be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen. 17 Charge the rich of this world, that they dont be uplifted in their minds; and that they confide not in riches, in which is no security; but in the living God, who gives us all things abundantly for our comfort: 18 and that they do good works, and be rich in well-doings; and be ready to give and to communicate: 19 and that they lay up for themselves a good foundation for that which is future; that they may take hold of real life. 20 O Timothy, be careful of that which is committed to you; and shun vain words, and the oppositions of false science: 21 for they who profess it, have erred from the faith. *merciful kindness* be with you. Amen.

2nd Timothy

2nd Timothy 1: PAUL, a herald of Yeshua the Messiah by the pleasure of God, according to the promise of life which is in Yeshua the Messiah; 2 to Timothy a beloved son; *merciful kindness*, and mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from our Master Yeshua the Messiah. 3 I thank God, who I serve from my forefathers with a pure conscience, that I continually remember you in my prayers, by night and by day: 4 and I desire to see you, and I call to mind your tears; that I may be filled with joy, 5 by the recollection which I have, by your genuine faith, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois, and in your mother Eunice, and also, I am persuaded, in you. 6 so I remind you, that you excite the gift of God, that is in you by the imposition of my hands. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of energy, and of love, and of instruction. 8 so dont you be ashamed of the testimony of our Master, nor of me his bondsman* [1]; but endure evils in connection with the Evangel, thru the power of God; 9 who has vivified us, and called us with a holy calling; not according to our works, but according to his good pleasure, and his *merciful kindness* that was given us in Yeshua the Messiah from time before the ages, 10 and is now made known by the appearing of our Savior, Yeshua the Messiah; who has abolished death, and has made manifest life and immortality, by the Evangel: 11 of which I am constituted a herald and an herald, and a teacher of the Nations. 12 so I allow these things: and I am not ashamed; for I know in who I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is competent to keep for me my deposit against that day. 13 Let the form of sound words, which you have heard from me, remain with you; with faith and love, in Yeshua the Messiah. 14 Keep you the good deposit, by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us. 15 This you know, that all those in Asia minor have turned from me; and that among them are Phygellus and Hermogenes. 16 May our Master bestow mercy on the house of Onesiphorus; for, many times, he refreshed me, and was not ashamed of the chains of my imprisonment. 17 But also, when he came to Rome, he earnestly sought for me with diligence, and found me. 18 May our Master grant him, that he may find mercy with our Master, in that day. And how he served* to me at Ephesus, you very well know.

[1] See why “bondsman” is far better than “prisoner”. Keyword prisoner.

2nd Timothy 2: you so, my son, be strong in the *merciful kindness* which is by Yeshua the Messiah. 2 The things you have heard from me by many witnesses, these commit you to faithful men, who is competent to teach others also. 3 Endure evils, as a good soldier of Yeshua the Messiah. 4 No man, on becoming a soldier, entangled himself with the business of the world; that he may please him who enlisted him. 5 If one contend in the games, he is not crowned, unless he contends according to the rules. 6 The farmer who labors, ought first to feed on his fruits. 7 Consider what I say. Our Lord give you wisdom in all things. 8 Be mindful of Yeshua the Messiah, that he arose from the dead; who was of the seed of David, according to my Evangel, 9 in which I allow evils to bonds, as if an evil-doer: but the word of God is not in bonds. 10 so I endure every thing, for the elect’s sake; that they also may obtain life, in Yeshua the Messiah, with eternal glory. 11 Faithful is the saying, For if we will have died with him, we will also live with him; 12 and, if we will have suffered, we will also reign with him. But if we will have rejected him, he will reject us. 13 If we will have not believed in him, he remains* in his fidelity; for he cant reject himself. 14 Of these things admonish you them. and charge them, before our Master, that they dispute not, with unprofitable words, to the subversion of those who hear them. 15 Study to present yourself before God, perfectly, a laborer who is not ashamed, one who correctly announces the word of truth. 16 Avoid vain discourses, in which there is no profit; for they very much add to the wickedness of those occupied with them. 17 Their discourse, like an eating cancer, will lay hold on many. And one of these is Hymeneus, and another Philetus; 18 who have wandered from the truth, while they say, The resurrection of the dead has passed: and they subvert the faith of some. 19 But the firm foundation of God stands; and it has this seal, The Lord knows them who is his: and, Let every one who invokes the name of our Master, stand aloof from Torah*-lessness. 20 But in a great house, there arent only vessels of gold or silver, but also of wood and of pottery; and some of them for honor, and some for dishonor. 21 If so any one purge himself from these things, he will be a pure vessel for honor, fit for the use of his Lord, and prepared for every good work. 22 Fly from all the lusts of youth; and follow after righteousness, and faith, and love, and peace, with those who invoke our Master with a pure heart. 23 Avoid those foolish discussions which afford no instruction; for you know, that they generate contests. 24 A servant of our Master ought not to contend, but to be mild towards every one, and instructive, and patient; 25 that with mildness he may enlighten those who dispute against him, if perhaps God may give them *a changed mind*, and they can acknowledge the truth, 26 and may recollect themselves, and may escape out of the snare of Satan, at whose pleasure they have been held ensnared.

2nd Timothy 3: Understand that in the last days, dangerous times will come. 2 Men will be *self centered* [5367], money loving, pretentious*, egotistical* [5244], blasphemous*, unyielding towards their own people, ungrateful, wicked, 3 inhumane, non committal, savage, hateful toward those who are good, 4 traitors*, rash, arrogant, loving pleasure rather than loving God, 5 having a resemblance of respect for Yehovah, but denying His power. Avoid them. 6 For these are the type who creep from house to house, captivating feeble minded women overwhelmed in their sins and led away by various cravings, 7 who are always learning, but never coming to a *correct knowledge* [1922] of spiritual truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so also do these withstand the truth: men whose mind is corrupted, and they reprobates from the faith. 9 But they wont make progress, for their infatuation will be understood by every one, as theirs also was understood. 10 But you have followed after my doctrine, and my manner of life, and my aims, and my faith, and my long suffering, and my love, and my patience, 11 and my persecution, and my sufferings. And you know what I endured at Antioch, and at Iconium, and at Lystra; what persecution I endured: and from all these my Lord delivered me. 12 Likewise all, who choose to live in the fear of God, in Yeshua the Messiah, will be persecuted. 13 But evil and seducing men will add to their wickedness, while they deceive and are deceived. 14 But continue in the things you have learned and been assured of; for you know from who you learned; 15 because from your childhood, you were taught the holy books, which can make you wise to life, by faith in Yeshua the Messiah. 16 All Scriptures is written by the Spirit and is profitable for doctrine* [1319], for *proving convictions* [1650], for *improving character [1882], and for *all instruction* [3809] in righteousness; 17 that the man of Yehovah may become perfect, and accomplished* [1822] in every good work.

2nd Timothy 4: I charge you, before God, and our Master Yeshua the Messiah, who is to judge the living and the dead, at the manifestation of his kingdom, 2 Proclaim the word; and persist in it with diligence, in time and out of time; admonish, and rebuke, with all patience and instruction. 3 For the time will come, when they wont give ear to sound teaching; but, according to their lusts, will multiply to themselves teachers, in the itching of their hearing; 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and incline after fables. 5 But you be vigilant in everything; and endure evils, and do the work of an *Assembly planter* [1], fulfilling your ministry. 6 But I am soon to be immolated; and the time of my dissolution has come. 7 I have fought a good combat, I have completed my race, I have preserved my fidelity; 8 and From now on there is preserved for me a crown of righteousness, with which my Lord, the righteous Judge, will recompense me in that day; and not me only, but them also who love his manifestation. 9 Exert yourself to come to me quickly. 10 For Demas has left me; and has loved this world and gone away to Thessalonica; Crispus to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. 11 Luke only is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with you; for he is suitable for me, for ministration. 12 Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. 13 When you come, bring the bookcase, which I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, but especially the roll of parchments [keyword: phelonen]. 14 Alexander the coppersmith showed me many ills: our Master will reward him according to his doings. 15 Do you also beware of him; for he is very insolent against our words. 16 At my first defense, no one was with me, but they all forsook me. Let not this be reckoned to them. 17 But my Lord stood by me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fulfilled; and that all the Nations might hear: and I was rescued from the mouth of the lion. 18 My Lord will rescue me from every evil work; and will give me life in his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory, forever and ever. Amen. 19 Present a salutation to Priscilla and Aquila, and to the household of Onesiphorus. 20 Erastus has stopped at Corinth; and Trophimus I left sick at the city of Miletus. 21 Exert yourself to come before winter. Eubulus salutes you, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren. 22 Our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with your spirit. *merciful kindness* be with you. Amen.

End of the Second Letter to Timothy, that was written in Rome.

[1] Strong’s 2099, euaggelistes: This is one of three places where this form of the word “evangel” (Good News) appears. Religious jargon calls them evangelists. They were “Assembly planters” (or “Church planters” as described in Pagan Christianity), carrying the Good News to places where it was previously unknown. Philip appears to have traveled from city to city heralding the teachings (Acts 8: 4,40 amp&; 21: 8). Judging from the case of Philip, assembly planters didnt have the authority of heralds*, or the gift of prophecy, or the responsibility of elders. (See also Ephesians 4: 11, 2 Timothy 4: 5)
