Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, 1 Timothy
Third Edition 1913
R. F. Weymouth
Book 54 1 Timothy
001:001 Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God our Saviour
and Christ Jesus our hope:
001:002 To Timothy, my own true son in the faith. May grace,
mercy and peace be granted to you from God the Father and
Christ Jesus our Lord.
001:003 When I was on my journey to Macedonia I begged you to remain
on in Ephesus that you might remonstrate with certain persons
because of their erroneous teaching
001:004 and the attention they bestow on mere fables and endless pedigrees,
such as lead to controversy rather than to a true stewardship
for God, which only exists where there is faith.
And I make the same request now.
001:005 But the end sought to be secured by exhortation is the love
which springs from a pure heart, a clear conscience and
a sincere faith.
001:006 From these some have drifted away, and have wandered
into empty words.
001:007 They are ambitious to be teachers of the Law, although they
do not understand either their own words or what the things
are about which they make such confident assertions.
001:008 Now we know that the Law is good, if a man uses it in the way
it should be used,
001:009 and remembers that a law is not enacted to control a righteous man,
but for the lawless and rebellious, the irreligious and sinful,
the godless and profane--for those who strike their fathers
or their mothers, for murderers,
001:010 fornicators, sodomites, slave-dealers, liars and false witnesses;
and for whatever else is opposed to wholesome teaching
001:011 and is not in accordance with the Good News of the blessed
God with which I have been entrusted.
001:012 I am thankful to Him who made me strong--even Christ Jesus
our Lord--because He has judged me to be faithful and has
put me into His service,
001:013 though I was previously a blasphemer and a persecutor
and had been insolent in outrage. Yet mercy was shown me,
because I had acted ignorantly, not having as yet believed;
001:014 and the grace of our Lord came to me in overflowing fulness,
conferring faith on me and the love which is in Christ Jesus.
001:015 Faithful is the saying, and deserving of universal acceptance,
that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners;
among whom I stand foremost.
001:016 But mercy was shown me in order that in me as the foremost
of sinners Christ Jesus might display the fulness of His
long-suffering patience as an example to encourage those who
would afterwards be resting their faith on Him with a view
to the Life of the Ages.
001:017 Now to the immortal and invisible King of the Ages, who alone
is God, be honour and glory to the Ages of the Ages! Amen.
001:018 This is the charge which I entrust to you, my son Timothy,
in accordance with the inspired instructions concerning you
which were given me long ago, that being equipped with them
as your armour you may be continually fighting the good fight,
001:019 holding fast to faith and a clear conscience, which some have
cast aside and have made shipwreck of their faith.
001:020 Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered
to Satan so that they may be taught not to blaspheme.
002:001 I exhort then, first of all, that supplications, prayers,
intercessions and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men;
002:002 including kings and all who are in high station, in order
that we may live peaceful and tranquil lives with all
godliness and gravity.
002:003 This is right, and is pleasing in the sight of God our Saviour,
002:004 who is willing for all mankind to be saved and come to a full
knowledge of the truth.
002:005 For there is but one God and but one Mediator between God and men--
Christ Jesus, Himself man;
002:006 who gave Himself as the redemption price for all--a fact
testified to at its own appointed time,
002:007 and of which I have been appointed a herald and an Apostle (I am
speaking the truth: it is not a fiction), a teacher of
the Gentiles in faith and truth.
002:008 So then I would have the men everywhere pray, lifting to God
holy hands which are unstained with anger or strife;
002:009 and I would have the women dress becomingly, with modesty
and self-control, not with plaited hair or gold or pearls
or costly clothes,
002:010 but--as befits women making a claim to godliness--
with the ornament of good works.
002:011 A woman should quietly learn from others with entire submissiveness.
002:012 I do not permit a woman to teach, nor have authority over a man,
but she must remain silent.
002:013 For Adam was formed first, and then Eve;
002:014 and Adam was not deceived, but his wife was thoroughly deceived,
and so became involved in transgression.
002:015 Yet a woman will be brought safely through childbirth
if she and her husband continue to live in faith and love
and growing holiness, with habitual self-restraint.
003:001 Faithful is the saying, "If any one is eager to have the oversight
of a Church, he desires a noble work."
003:002 A minister then must be a man of irreproachable character,
true to his one wife, temperate, sober-minded, well-behaved,
hospitable to strangers, and with a gift for teaching;
003:003 not a hard drinker nor given to blows; not selfish or
quarrelsome or covetous;
003:004 but ruling his own household wisely and well, with children
kept under control with true dignity.
003:005 (If a man does not know how to rule his own household,
how shall he have the Church of God given into his care?)
003:006 He ought not to be a new convert, for fear he should be blinded
with pride and come under the same condemnation as the Devil.
003:007 It is needful also that he bear a good character with people
outside the Church, lest he fall into reproach or a snare
of the Devil.
003:008 Deacons, in the same way, must be men of serious demeanour,
not double-tongued, nor addicted to much wine, nor greedy
of base gain,
003:009 but holding the secret truths of the faith with a clear conscience.
003:010 And they must also be well-tried men, and when found to be
of unblemished character then let them serve as deacons.
003:011 Deaconesses, in the same way, must be sober-minded women,
not slanderers, but in every way temperate and trustworthy.
003:012 A deacon must be true to his one wife, and rule his children
and his own household wisely and well.
003:013 For those who have filled the deacon's office wisely and well,
are already gaining for themselves an honourable standing,
and are acquiring great freedom of speech in proclaiming
the faith which rests on Christ Jesus.
003:014 All this I write to you, though I am hoping before long to come
to see you.
003:015 But, for fear I may be hindered, I now write, so that you
may have rules to guide you in dealing with God's household.
For this is what the Church of the ever-living God is,
and it is the pillar and foundation-stone of the truth.
003:016 And, beyond controversy, great is the mystery of our religion--
that Christ appeared in human form, and His claims justified
by the Spirit, was seen by angels and proclaimed among
Gentile nations, was believed on in the world, and received
up again into glory.
004:001 Now the Spirit expressly declares that in later times some will
fall away from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits
and the teachings of demons;
004:002 through the hypocrisy of men who teach falsely and have their
own consciences seared as with a hot iron;
004:003 forbidding people to marry, and insisting on abstinence from foods
which God has created to be partaken of, with thankfulness,
by those who believe and have a clear knowledge of the truth.
004:004 For everything that God has created is good, and nothing is
to be cast aside, if only it is received with thanksgiving.
004:005 For it is made holy by the word of God and by prayer.
004:006 If you warn the brethren of these dangers you will be a good and
faithful servant of Christ Jesus, inwardly feeding on the lessons
of the faith and of the sound teaching of which you have been,
and are, so close a follower.
004:007 But worldly stories, fit only for credulous old women,
have nothing to do with.
004:008 Train yourself in godliness. Exercise for the body is not useless,
but godliness is useful in every respect, possessing, as it does,
the promise of Life now and of the Life which is soon coming.
004:009 Faithful is this saying and deserving of universal acceptance:
004:010 and here is the motive of our toiling and wrestling,
because we have our hopes fixed on the ever-living God,
who is the Saviour of all mankind, and especially of believers.
004:011 Command this and teach this.
004:012 Let no one think slightingly of you because you are a young man;
but in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, be an example
for your fellow Christians to imitate.
004:013 Till I come, bestow your attention on reading,
exhortation and teaching.
004:014 Do not be careless about the gifts with which you are endowed,
which were conferred on you through a divine revelation
when the hands of the elders were placed upon you.
004:015 Habitually practise these duties, and be absorbed in them;
so that your growing proficiency in them may be evident to all.
004:016 Be on your guard as to yourself and your teaching.
Persevere in these things; for by doing this you will make
certain your own salvation and that of your hearers.
005:001 Never administer a sharp reprimand to a man older than yourself;
but entreat him as if he were your father, and the younger
men as brothers;
005:002 the elder women too as mothers, and the younger women as sisters,
with perfect modesty.
005:003 Honour widows who are really in need.
005:004 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let these learn
first to show piety towards their own homes and to prove
their gratitude to their parents; for this is well pleasing
in the sight of God.
005:005 A widow who is really in need, friendless and desolate,
has her hopes fixed on God, and continues at her supplications
and prayers, night and day;
005:006 but a pleasure-loving widow is dead even while still alive.
005:007 Press these facts upon them, so that they may live lives
free from reproach.
005:008 But if a man makes no provision for those dependent on him,
and especially for his own family, he has disowned the faith
and is behaving worse than an unbeliever.
005:009 No widow is to be put on the roll who is under sixty years of age.
005:010 She must have been true to her one husband, and well
reported of for good deeds, as having brought up children,
received strangers hospitably, washed the feet of God's people,
given relief to the distressed, and devoted herself to good
works of every kind.
005:011 But the younger widows you must not enrol; for as soon as they
begin to chafe against the yoke of Christ, they want to marry,
005:012 and they incur disapproval for having broken their original vow.
005:013 And at the same time they also learn to be idle as they go
round from house to house; and they are not only idle,
but are gossips also and busybodies, speaking of things
that ought not to be spoken of.
005:014 I would therefore have the younger women marry, bear children,
rule in domestic matters, and furnish the Adversary with no
excuse for slander.
005:015 For already some of them have gone astray, following Satan.
005:016 If a believing woman has widows dependent on her, she should
relieve their wants, and save the Church from being burdened--
so that the Church may relieve the widows who are really in need.
005:017 Let the Elders who perform their duties wisely and well be
held worthy of double honour, especially those who labour
in preaching and teaching.
005:018 For the Scripture says, "You are not to muzzle the ox while it
is treading out the grain;" and the workman deserves his pay.
005:019 Never entertain an accusation against an Elder except on
the evidence of two of three witnesses.
005:020 Those who persist in sin reprove in the presence of all,
so that it may also be a warning to the rest.
005:021 I solemnly call upon you, in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus
and of the elect angels, to carry out these instructions
of mine without prejudice, and to do nothing from partiality.
005:022 Do not ordain any one hastily; and do not be a partaker
in the sins of others; keep *yourself* pure.
005:023 (No longer be a water-drinker; but take a little wine for the sake
of your digestion and your frequent ailments.)
005:024 The sins of some men are evident to the world, leading the way
to your estimate of their characters, but the sins of
others lag behind.
005:025 So also the right actions of some are evident to the world,
and those that are not cannot remain for ever out of sight.
006:001 Let all who are under the yoke of slavery hold their own
masters to be deserving of honour, so that the name of God
and the Christian teaching may not be spoken against.
006:002 And those who have believing masters should not be wanting
in respect towards them because they are their brethren,
but should serve them all the more willingly because those
who profit by the faithful service rendered are believers
and are friends.
006:003 So teach and exhort. If any one is a teacher of any other kind
of doctrine, and refuses assent to wholesome instructions--
those of our Lord Jesus Christ--and the teaching that harmonizes
with true godliness,
006:004 he is puffed up with pride and has no true knowledge, but is
crazy over discussions and controversies about words which give
rise to envy, quarrelling, revilings, ill-natured suspicions,
006:005 and persistent wranglings on the part of people whose intellects
are disordered and they themselves blinded to all knowledge
of the truth; who imagine that godliness means gain.
006:006 And godliness *is* gain, when associated with contentment;
006:007 for we brought nothing into the world, nor can we carry anything
out of it;
006:008 and if we have food and clothing, with these we will be satisfied.
006:009 But people who are determined to be rich fall into temptation
and a snare, and into many unwise and pernicious ways which sink
mankind in destruction and ruin.
006:010 For from love of money all sorts of evils arise; and some have
so hankered after money as to be led astray from the faith
and be pierced through with countless sorrows.
006:011 But you, O man of God, must flee from these things; and strive
for uprightness, godliness, good faith, love, fortitude,
and a forgiving temper.
006:012 Exert all your strength in the honourable struggle for the faith;
lay hold of the Life of the Ages, to which you were called,
when you made your noble profession of faith before many witnesses.
006:013 I charge you--as in the presence of God who gives life
to all creatures, and of Christ Jesus who at the bar of
Pontius Pilate made a noble profession of faith--
006:014 that you keep God's commandments stainlessly and without
reproach till the Appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.
006:015 For, as its appointed time, this will be brought about by the blessed
and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords,
006:016 who alone possesses immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light,
and whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be eternal honour
and power! Amen.
006:017 Impress on those who are rich in the present age that they
must not be haughty nor set their hopes on riches--
that unstable foundation--but on God who provides us richly
with all things for our enjoyment.
006:018 They must be beneficent, rich in noble deeds, open-handed and liberal;
006:019 storing up for themselves that which shall be a solid
foundation for the future, that they may lay hold of the Life
which is life indeed.
006:020 O Timothy, guard the truths entrusted to you, shunning
irreligious and frivolous talk, and controversy with what is
falsely called `knowledge';
006:021 of which some have spoken boastfully in connexion with the true faith,
and have erred. Grace be with you all.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.
Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org
This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
