Unto Timothy, {my} own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, {and} peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
I told you to chill in Ephesus while I bounced to Macedonia, so you could let some folks know not to spread sus teachings.
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,
Don’t get wrapped up in tall tales and endless family lines that just stir up drama; focus instead on lifting each other up in faith, fr.
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: {so do}.

Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and {of} a good conscience, and {of} faith unfeigned:

They wanna teach the law but don’t even know what they’re talking about or what’s actually true.
Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
But we get that the law is dope if you use it the right way, periodt.
But we know that the law {is} good, if a man use it lawfully;
Just remember, the law isn't for the righteous, but for the wild ones, the disobedient, the ungodly, and all the sinners.

For the whoremongers, those who mess with others, thieves, liars, and anyone who acts against solid teaching.
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;
This is all in line with the dope gospel of the blessed God, which I’ve been entrusted with.

I’m super thankful to Christ Jesus our Lord for having faith in me and putting me in the ministry; that’s goated.
And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
I was once a blasphemer and a hater, but I received mercy 'cause I was just lost and didn’t believe.
Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did {it} ignorantly in unbelief.
And the grace from our Lord was overflowing with faith and love in Christ Jesus, it’s bussin’.
And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
This is a solid saying and totally worth accepting: Christ Jesus came to save sinners, and I’m the number one, no cap.
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.
For this reason, I got mercy so Jesus could flex His patience through me as an example for those who’d believe and receive eternal life.
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.
Now to the King who’s eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be all the honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, {be} honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
This mission I’m giving you, son Timothy, is based on the prophecies concerning you, so you can fight the good fight.
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;
Hold onto the faith and a clear conscience; some have thrown that away and totally wrecked their faith.
Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
Among them are Hymeneus and Alexander; I’ve turned them over to Satan so they can learn not to blaspheme.
Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
