World English Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
1Paulus Apostolus Jesu Christi secundum imperium Dei Salvatoris nostri, et Christi Jesu spei nostræ,
2to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
2Timotheo dilecto filio in fide. Gratia, misericordia, et pax a Deo Patre, et Christo Jesu Domino nostro.
3As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine,
3Sicut rogavi te ut remaneres Ephesi cum irem in Macedoniam, ut denuntiares quibusdam ne aliter docerent,
4and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.
4neque intenderent fabulis, et genealogiis interminatis: quæ quæstiones præstant magis quam ædificationem Dei, quæ est in fide.
5But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith,
5Finis autem præcepti est caritas de corde puro, et conscientia bona, et fide non ficta.
6from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,
6A quibus quidam aberrantes, conversi sunt in vaniloquium,
7desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say nor about what they strongly affirm.
7volentes esse legis doctores, non intelligentes neque quæ loquuntur, neque de quibus affirmant.
8But we know that the law is good if a person uses it lawfully,
8Scimus autem quia bona est lex si quis ea legitime utatur:
9as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, 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 the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,
10fornicariis, masculorum concubitoribus, plagiariis, mendacibus, et perjuris, et si quid aliud sanæ doctrinæ adversatur,
11according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
11quæ est secundum Evangelium gloriæ beati Dei, quod creditum est mihi.
12I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service,
12Gratias ago ei, qui me confortavit, Christo Jesu Domino nostro, quia fidelem me existimavit, ponens in ministerio:
13although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy 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.
14The grace of our Lord 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.
15The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
15Fidelis sermo, et omni acceptione dignus: quod Christus Jesus venit in hunc mundum peccatores salvos facere, quorum primus ego sum.
16However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life.
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 eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
17Regi autem sæculorum immortali, invisibili, soli Deo honor et gloria in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.
18I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them you may wage the good warfare,
18Hoc præceptum commendo tibi, fili Timothee, secundum præcedentes in te prophetias, ut milites in illis bonam militiam,
19holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith,
19habens fidem, et bonam conscientiam, quam quidam repellentes, circa fidem naufragaverunt:
20of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
20ex quibus est Hymenæus, et Alexander: quos tradidi Satanæ, ut discant non blasphemare.
