Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and of Christ Jesus our hope:
1Paulus Apostolus Jesu Christi secundum imperium Dei Salvatoris nostri, et Christi Jesu spei nostræ,
2To Timothy, his beloved son in faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord.
2Timotheo dilecto filio in fide. Gratia, misericordia, et pax a Deo Patre, et Christo Jesu Domino nostro.
3As I desired thee to remain at Ephesus when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some not to teach otherwise,
3Sicut rogavi te ut remaneres Ephesi cum irem in Macedoniam, ut denuntiares quibusdam ne aliter docerent,
4Not to give heed to fables and endless genealogies: which furnish questions rather than the edification of God, which is in faith.
4neque intenderent fabulis, et genealogiis interminatis: quæ quæstiones præstant magis quam ædificationem Dei, quæ est in fide.
5Now the end of the commandment is charity, from a pure heart, and a good conscience, and an unfeigned faith.
5Finis autem præcepti est caritas de corde puro, et conscientia bona, et fide non ficta.
6From which things some going astray, are turned aside unto vain babbling:
6A quibus quidam aberrantes, conversi sunt in vaniloquium,
7Desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither the things they say, nor whereof they affirm.
7volentes esse legis doctores, non intelligentes neque quæ loquuntur, neque de quibus affirmant.
8But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully:
8Scimus autem quia bona est lex si quis ea legitime utatur:
9Knowing this, that the law is not made for the just man, but for the unjust and disobedient, for the ungodly, and for sinners, for the wicked and defiled, for murderers of fathers, and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
9sciens hoc quia lex justo non est posita, sed injustis, et non subditis, impiis, et peccatoribus, sceleratis, et contaminatis, parricidis, et matricidis, homicidis,
10For fornicators, for them who defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and whatever other thing is contrary to sound doctrine,
10fornicariis, masculorum concubitoribus, plagiariis, mendacibus, et perjuris, et si quid aliud sanæ doctrinæ adversatur,
11Which is according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which hath been committed to my trust.
11quæ est secundum Evangelium gloriæ beati Dei, quod creditum est mihi.
12I give thanks who hath strengthened me, even to Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he hath counted me faithful, putting me in the ministry;
12Gratias ago ei, qui me confortavit, Christo Jesu Domino nostro, quia fidelem me existimavit, ponens in ministerio:
13Who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and contumelious. But I obtained the mercy of God, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
13qui prius blasphemus fui, et persecutor, et contumeliosus: sed misericordiam Dei consecutus sum, quia ignorans feci in incredulitate.
14Now the grace of our Lord hath abounded exceedingly with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus.
14Superabundavit autem gratia Domini nostri cum fide, et dilectione, quæ est in Christo Jesu.
15A faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into this world to save sinners, of whom I am the chief.
15Fidelis sermo, et omni acceptione dignus: quod Christus Jesus venit in hunc mundum peccatores salvos facere, quorum primus ego sum.
16But for this cause have I obtained mercy: that in me first Christ Jesus might shew forth all patience, for the information of them that shall believe in him unto life everlasting.
16Sed ideo misericordiam consecutus sum: ut in me primo ostenderet Christus Jesus omnem patientiam ad informationem eorum, qui credituri sunt illi, in vitam æternam.
17Now to the king of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
17Regi autem sæculorum immortali, invisibili, soli Deo honor et gloria in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.
18This precept I commend to thee, O son Timothy; according to the prophecies going before on thee, that thou war in them a good warfare,
18Hoc præceptum commendo tibi, fili Timothee, secundum præcedentes in te prophetias, ut milites in illis bonam militiam,
19Having faith and a good conscience, which some rejecting have made shipwreck concerning the faith.
19habens fidem, et bonam conscientiam, quam quidam repellentes, circa fidem naufragaverunt:
20Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered up to Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
20ex quibus est Hymenæus, et Alexander: quos tradidi Satanæ, ut discant non blasphemare.
