1 Timoteo 1
Reina Valera Revisada
Saludo
1 Pablo, apóstol de Jesucristo por mandato de Dios nuestro Salvador, y del Señor Jesucristo nuestra esperanza,
2 a Timoteo, verdadero hijo en la fe: Gracia, misericordia y paz, de Dios nuestro Padre y de Cristo Jesús nuestro Señor.
Advertencia contra doctrinas falsas
3 Como te rogué que te quedases en Éfeso, cuando me puse en camino para Macedonia, para que mandases a algunos que no enseñen diferente doctrina,
4 ni presten atención a fábulas y genealogías interminables, que acarrean disputas más bien que edificación de Dios que es por fe, así te encargo ahora.
5 El objetivo de este mandamiento es el amor nacido de corazón limpio, y de buena conciencia, y de fe no fingida,
6 de las cuales cosas desviándose algunos, han venido a caer en una vana palabrería,
7 queriendo ser doctores de la ley, sin entender ni lo que hablan ni lo que afirman categóricamente.
8 Pero sabemos que la ley es buena, si uno la usa legítimamente;
9 conociendo esto, que la ley no fue puesta para el justo, sino para los transgresores e insumisos, para los impíos y pecadores, para los irreverentes y profanos, para los parricidas y matricidas, para los homicidas,
10 para los fornicarios, para los sodomitas, para los secuestradores, para los mentirosos y perjuros, y para cualquier otra cosa que se oponga a la sana enseñanza,
11 según el glorioso evangelio del Dios bendito, que me ha sido encomendado.
El ministerio de Pablo
12 Doy gracias al que me revistió de poder, a Cristo Jesús nuestro Señor, porque me tuvo por fiel, poniéndome en el ministerio,
13 habiendo yo sido antes blasfemo, perseguidor e injuriador; mas fui recibido a misericordia porque lo hice por ignorancia, en incredulidad;
14 y la gracia de nuestro Señor fue más abundante con la fe y el amor que es en Cristo Jesús.
15 Es palabra fiel y digna de toda aceptación: que Cristo Jesús vino al mundo para salvar a los pecadores, de los cuales yo soy el primero.
16 Pero por esto fui recibido a misericordia, para que Jesucristo mostrase en mí el primero toda su paciencia, para ejemplo de los que habrían de creer en él para vida eterna.
17 Por tanto, al Rey de los siglos, inmortal, invisible, al único y sabio Dios, sea honor y gloria por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.
18 Este mandamiento, hijo Timoteo, te encargo, para que conforme a las profecías que se hicieron antes en cuanto a ti, pelees por ellas la buena batalla,
19 manteniendo la fe y buena conciencia, desechando la cual naufragaron en cuanto a la fe algunos,
20 entre los que están Himeneo y Alejandro, a quienes entregué a Satanás para que aprendan a no blasfemar.
1 Timothy 1
New King James Version
Greeting
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ, our hope,
2 To Timothy, a (A)true son in the faith:
(B)Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
No Other Doctrine
3 As I urged you (C)when I went into Macedonia—remain in Ephesus that you may [a]charge some (D)that they teach no other doctrine, 4 (E)nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith. 5 Now (F)the purpose of the commandment is love (G)from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from [b]sincere faith, 6 from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to (H)idle talk, 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.
8 But we know that the law is (I)good if one uses it lawfully, 9 knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is [c]contrary to sound doctrine, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the (J)blessed God which was (K)committed to my trust.
Glory to God for His Grace(L)
12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has (M)enabled me, (N)because He counted me faithful, (O)putting me into the ministry, 13 although (P)I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an [d]insolent man; but I obtained mercy because (Q)I did it ignorantly in unbelief. 14 (R)And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, (S)with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 15 (T)This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that (U)Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. 16 However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life. 17 Now to (V)the King eternal, (W)immortal, (X)invisible, to [e]God (Y)who alone is wise, (Z)be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
Fight the Good Fight
18 This [f]charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, 19 having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck, 20 of whom are (AA)Hymenaeus and (AB)Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they may learn not to (AC)blaspheme.

English Standard Version
Greeting
1 Paul, (A)an apostle of Christ Jesus (B)by command of (C)God our Savior and of Christ Jesus (D)our hope,
2 To Timothy, (E)my true child in the faith:
(F)Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Warning Against False Teachers
3 (G)As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not (H)to teach any different doctrine, 4 nor (I)to devote themselves to myths and endless (J)genealogies, which promote (K)speculations rather than the stewardship[a] from God that is by faith. 5 The aim of our charge is love (L)that issues from a pure heart and (M)a good conscience and (N)a sincere faith. 6 Certain persons, by (O)swerving from these, have wandered away into (P)vain discussion, 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, (Q)without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions.
8 Now we know that (R)the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, 9 understanding this, that the (S)law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, 10 the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers,[b] liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to (T)sound[c] doctrine, 11 in accordance with (U)the gospel of the glory of (V)the blessed God (W)with which I have been entrusted.
Christ Jesus Came to Save Sinners
12 I thank him (X)who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, (Y)appointing me to his service, 13 though formerly I was a blasphemer, (Z)persecutor, and insolent opponent. But (AA)I received mercy (AB)because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, 14 and (AC)the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the (AD)faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 15 The saying is (AE)trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus (AF)came into the world to save sinners, (AG)of whom I am the foremost. 16 But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life. 17 To (AH)the King of the ages, (AI)immortal, (AJ)invisible, (AK)the only God, (AL)be honor and glory forever and ever.[d] Amen.
18 This charge (AM)I entrust to you, Timothy, my child, in accordance with (AN)the prophecies previously made about you, that by them you may (AO)wage the good warfare, 19 (AP)holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting this, some have (AQ)made shipwreck of their faith, 20 among whom are (AR)Hymenaeus and (AS)Alexander, whom I (AT)have handed over to Satan that they may learn not to (AU)blaspheme.
