提前1:1 奉我们救主 神和我们的盼望基督耶稣之命，作基督耶稣使徒的保罗，
提前1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;
提前1:2 写信给那因信主作我真儿子的提摩太：愿恩惠、怜悯、平安从父 神和我们主基督耶稣归与你！
提前1:2 Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
提前1:3 我往马其顿去的时候，曾劝你仍住在以弗所，好嘱咐那几个人不可传异教，
提前1:3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
提前1:4 也不可听从荒渺无凭的话语和无穷的家谱。这等事只生辩论，并不发明 神在信上所立的章程。
提前1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
提前1:5 但命令的总归就是爱，这爱是从清洁的心和无亏的良心、无伪的信心生出来的。
提前1:5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
提前1:6 有人偏离这些，反去讲虚浮的话，
提前1:6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
提前1:7 想要作教法师，却不明白自己所讲说的、所论定的。
提前1:7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
提前1:8 我们知道律法原是好的，只要人用得合宜。
提前1:8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
提前1:9 因为律法不是为义人设立的，乃是为不法和不服的，不虔诚和犯罪的，不圣洁和恋世俗的，弑父母和杀人的，
提前1:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
提前1:10 行淫和亲男色的，抢人口和说谎话的，并起假誓的，或是为别样敌正道的事设立的。
提前1:10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
提前1:11 这是照着可称颂之神交托我荣耀福音说的。
提前1:11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
提前1:12 我感谢那给我力量的我们主基督耶稣，因他以我有忠心，派我服事他。
提前1:12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
提前1:13 我从前是亵渎 神的，逼迫人的，侮慢人的，然而我还蒙了怜悯，因我是不信、不明白的时候而做的。
提前1:13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
提前1:14 并且我主的恩是格外丰盛，使我在基督耶稣里有信心和爱心。
提前1:14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
提前1:15 “基督耶稣降世，为要拯救罪人。”这话是可信的，是十分可佩服的。在罪人中我是个罪魁。
提前1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
提前1:16 然而我蒙了怜悯，是因耶稣基督要在我这罪魁身上显明他一切的忍耐，给后来信他得永生的人作榜样。
提前1:16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
提前1:17 但愿尊贵、荣耀归与那不能朽坏、不能看见、永世的君王、独一的 神，直到永永远远。阿们！
提前1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
提前1:18 我儿提摩太啊，我照从前指着你的预言，将这命令交托你，叫你因此可以打那美好的仗，
提前1:18 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;
提前1:19 常存信心和无亏的良心；有人丢弃良心，就在真道上如同船破坏了一般。
提前1:19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
提前1:20 其中有许米乃和亚历山大，我已经把他们交给撒但，使他们受责罚，就不再谤渎了。
提前1:20 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
