1:15 This saying ²  is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” – and I am the worst of them! ³

2:2 even for kings ⁴  and all who are in authority, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.

1 Timotius 3:15

3:15 in case I am delayed, to let you know how people ought to conduct themselves ⁵  in the household of God, because it is ⁶  the church of the living God, the support and bulwark of the truth.

1 Timotius 6:18

6:18 Tell them to do good, ¹²  to be rich in good deeds, to be generous givers, sharing with others. ¹³ 

[1:7]  ¹ tn The Greek reinforces this negation: “understand neither what they are saying nor the things they insist on…”

[1:15]  ² tn Grk “the saying,” referring to the following citation (see 1 Tim 3:1; 4:9; 2 Tim 2:11; Titus 3:8 for other occurrences of this phrase).

[1:15]  ³ tn Grk “of whom I am the first.”

[2:2]  ⁴ tn For “even for kings” the Greek says simply “for kings.”

[3:15]  ⁵ tn Grk “how it is necessary to behave.”

[3:15]  ⁶ tn Grk “which is” (but the relative clause shows the reason for such conduct).

[4:16]  ⁷ tn Grk “about yourself and your teaching.”

[5:8]  ⁸ tn That is, “his own relatives.”

[5:22]  ⁹ tn In context “laying hands on anyone” refers to ordination or official installation of someone as an elder.

[5:22]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “and do not share in the sins of others.”

[6:15]  ¹¹ tn Grk “which.” All of 1 Tim 6:15 is a relative clause which refers back to “appearing” in v.14. The phrase “whose appearing” was supplied to clarify this connection.

[6:18]  ¹² tn Grk “to do good” (the continuation of 6:17). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started at the beginning of v. 18.

[6:18]  ¹³ tn Grk “to be generous,” “sharing.”
