18 December - 1 Timothy 1-6

Jude Sat Nov 24, 2018 10:31 pm

My soul doth magnify my YAH, and my spirit hath rejoiced in EL my Saviour; For HE that is mighty hath done to me great things; and Holy is HIS Name. Now unto HIM who is ever present in my helpless estate; who is able to keep me from falling and to present me faultless before the presence of His Glory with exceeding joy, unto the King Eternal, Immortal, Invisible, the only wise EL our Saviour be honour and glory and majesty, dominion and power both now and for ever Halleluyah!

1 TIMOTHY 1

1Sha’ul, an emissary of יהושע Messiah, according to a command of Elohim our Saviour, and of the Master יהושע Messiah, our expectation,

2to Timothy, a genuine child in the belief: Favour, compassion, peace from Elohim our Father and יהושע Messiah our Master.

3As I appealed to you when I went into Makedonia, to remain in Ephesos, in order to command some not to teach differently,

4nor to pay attention to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than an administration of Elohim which is in belief.

5Now the goal of this command is love from a clean heart, from a good conscience and a sincere belief,

6which some, having missed the goal, turned aside to senseless talk,

7wishing to be teachers of Torah, understanding neither what they say nor concerning what they strongly affirm.

8And we know that the Torah is good if one uses it legitimately,

9knowing this: that Torah is not laid down for a righteous being, but for the lawless and unruly, for the wicked and for sinners, for the wrong-doers and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers,

10for those who whore, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and for whatever else that is contrary to sound teaching,

11according to the esteemed Good News of the blessed Elohim which was entrusted to me.

12And I thank Messiah יהושע our Master who empowered me, because He counted me trustworthy, putting me into service,

13me, although I was formerly a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and an insulter. But compassion was shown me because being ignorant I did it in unbelief.

14And the favour of our Master was exceedingly increased, with belief and love which are in Messiah יהושע.

15Trustworthy is the word and worthy of all acceptance, that Messiah יהושע came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am foremost.

16But because of this I received compassion, so that in me first, יהושע Messiah might display all patience, as an example to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life.

17Now to the Sovereign of the ages, incorruptible, invisible, to Elohim who alone is wise, be respect and esteem forever and ever. Amĕn.

18This charge I entrust to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you might wage the good campaign,

19having belief and a good conscience, which some have thrust aside and suffered shipwreck concerning their belief.

20Among these are Humenaios and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan, in order to be taught not to blaspheme.

1 TIMOTHY 2

1First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be made for all men,

2for sovereigns and all those who are in authority, in order that we lead a calm and peaceable life in all reverence and seriousness.

3For this is good and acceptable before Elohim our Saviour,

4who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

5For there is one Elohim,a and one Mediator between Elohim and men, the Man Messiah יהושע,

6who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be witnessed in its own seasons,

7for which I was appointed a proclaimer and an emissary – I am speaking the truth in Messiah and not lying – a teacher of the gentiles in belief and truth.

8So I resolve that the men pray everywhere, lifting up hands that are set-apart, without wrath and disputing.

9Likewise, that the women dress themselves becomingly, with decency and sensibleness, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly garments,

10but with good works,a which is becoming for women undertaking worship of Elohim.

11Let a woman learn in silence, in all subjection.

12But I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, rather, to be in silence.

13Because Aḏam was formed first, then Ḥawwah.

14And Aḏam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, fell into transgression.

15But she shall be saved in childbearing if they continue in belief, and love, and set-apartness, with sensibleness.

1 TIMOTHY 3

1Trustworthy is the word: If a man longs for the position of an overseer, he desires a good work.

2An overseer, then, should be blameless, the husband of one wife, sober, sensible, orderly, kind to strangers, able to teach,

3not given to wine, no brawler, but gentle, not quarrelsome, no lover of money,

4one who rules his own house well, having his children in subjection with all reverence,

5for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how shall he look after the assembly of Elohim?

6Not a new convert, lest he become puffed up with pride and fall into the judgment of the devil.

7And he should even have a good witness from those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

8Likewise attendants are to be reverent, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for filthy gain,

9holding to the secret of the belief with a clean conscience.

10And let these also be proved first, then let them serve, if they are unreprovable.

11Wives in the same way: reverent, not false accusers, sober, trustworthy in every way.

12Let attendants be the husbands of only one wife, ruling children and their own houses well.

13For those who have served well as attendants gain good standing for themselves, and much boldness in the belief that is in Messiah יהושע.

14I am writing you this, expecting to come to you shortly,

15but if I delay, that you might know how you should behave in the House of Elohim, which is the assembly of the living Elohim – a strong support and foundation of the truth.

16And, beyond all question, the secret of reverence is great – who was revealed in the flesh, declared right in Spirit, was seen by messengers, was proclaimed among nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in esteem.

1 TIMOTHY 4

1But the Spirit distinctly says that in latter times some shall fall away from the belief, paying attention to misleading spirits, and teachings of demons,

2speaking lies in hypocrisy, having been branded on their own conscience,

3forbidding to marry, saying to abstain from foods which Elohim created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

4Because every creature of Elohim is good, and none is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,

5for it is set apart by the Word of Elohim and prayer.

6If you present these matters to the brothers, you shall be a good servant of יהושע Messiah, being nourished in the words of belief and of the good teaching which you have followed closely.

7But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise yourself rather to reverence.

8For bodily exercise is profitable for a little, but reverence is profitable for all, having promise of the present life, and of that which is to come.

9Trustworthy is the word, and worthy of all acceptance.

10It is for this that we labour and struggle, because we trust in the living Elohim, who is the Saviour of all men, particularly of those who believe.

11Command and teach these matters.

12Let no one look down on your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in behaviour, in love, in spirit, in belief, in cleanliness.

13Until I come, give attention to reading of Scripture, to encouragement, to teaching.

14Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the elderhood.

15Practise these matters, be in them, so that your progress might be plain to all.

16Pay attention to yourself and to the teaching. Continue in them, for in doing this you shall save both yourself and those who hear you.

1 TIMOTHY 5

1Do not rebuke an older man, but appeal to him as a father, younger ones as brothers,

2elderly women as mothers, younger ones as sisters, in all cleanliness.

3Respect widows who are truly widows.

4But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to treat their own house reverently, and to repay their parents. For this is good and acceptable before Elohim.

5And she who is truly a widow, and left alone, trusts in Elohim and continues in petitions and prayers night and day.

6But she who is living in luxury is dead while she lives.

7And command these matters, in order for them to be blameless.

8And if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the belief and is worse than an unbeliever.

9Do not enrol a widow unless she is over sixty years of age, having been the wife of one man,

10well reported for good works, if she has brought up children, if she has lodged strangers, if she has washed the feet of the set-apart ones, if she has assisted the afflicted, if she has closely followed every good work.

11But refuse the younger widows, for when they become headstrong against the Messiah, they desire to marry,

12having guilt because they set aside their first belief.

13Moreover, they learn to be idle, going about from house to house, and not only idle but also gossips and busybodies, speaking what is improper.

14So I resolve that the younger widows marry, bear children, manage the house, giving no occasion to the adversary for reviling.

15For already some have turned aside after Satan.

16If any believing man or woman has widows, let such assist them, and do not let the assembly be burdened, in order to assist those who are truly widows.

17Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double respect, especially those who labour in the word and teaching.

18For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain,” and, “The labourer is worthy of his wages.”

19Do not receive an accusation against an elder except from two or three witnesses.

20Reprove those who are sinning, in the presence of all, so that the rest also might fear.

21I earnestly witness before Elohim and the Master יהושע Messiah, and the chosen messengers, that you watch over these matters without prejudice, doing none at all with partiality.

22Do not lay hands on anyone hastily, nor share in sins of others. Keep yourself clean.

23No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent ailments.

24The sins of some men are obvious, leading on to judgment, but those of some men follow later.

25In the same way, the good works are obvious, while it is impossible to conceal those that are otherwise.

1 TIMOTHY 6

1Let those who are servants under a yoke regard their own masters worthy of all respect, lest the Name of Elohim and His teaching be blasphemed.

2And those who have believing masters, let them not disregard them because they are brothers, but rather serve them because they are believing and beloved ones, those receiving of the good service in return. Teach and urge these matters.

3If anyone teaches differently and does not agree to the sound words, those of our Master יהושע Messiah, and to the teaching which is according to reverence,

4he is puffed up, understanding none at all, but is sick about questionings and verbal battles from which come envy, strife, slander, wicked suspicions,

5worthless disputes of men of corrupt minds and deprived of the truth, who think that reverence is a means of gain – withdraw from such.

6But reverence with contentment is great gain.

7For we brought naught into the world, and it is impossible to take any out.

8When we have food and covering, we shall be satisfied with these.

9But those wishing to be rich fall into trial and a snare, and into many foolish and injurious lusts which plunge men in ruin and destruction.

10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some, by longing for it, have strayed from the belief, and pierced themselves through with many pains.

11But you, O man of Elohim, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, reverence, belief, love, endurance, meekness.

12Fight the good fight of the belief, lay hold on everlasting life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession before many witnesses.

13In the sight of Elohim who gives life to all, and of Messiah יהושע who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, I charge you:

14that you guard the commanda spotlessly, blamelessly, until the appearing of our Master יהושע Messiah,

15which in His own seasons He shall reveal – the blessed and only Ruler, the Sovereign of sovereigns and Master of masters,

16who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or is able to see, to whom be respect and everlasting might. Amĕn.

17Charge those who are rich in this present age not to be high-minded, nor to trust in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living Elohim, who gives us richly all for enjoyment,

18to do good, to be rich in good works,a to be generous, ready to share,

19storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, so that they lay hold on everlasting life.

20O Timothy! Watch over that which has been entrusted to you, turning aside from the profane and empty babblings and contradictions of the falsely called ‘knowledge,’

21which some, having professed it, have missed the goal concerning the belief. Favour be with you. Amĕn.
