Introduction to the first letter of
Paul to Timothy
The Pastoral Epistles – The two letters to Timothy and the one to
Titus are called the “pastoral epistles” because they contain principles for
the pastoral care of churches and qualifications for ministers.
Authorship
– Some have questioned whether Paul
himself wrote these letters, on the grounds that: (1) Paul’s travels described
in the pastorals don’t fit anywhere into the historical account of the book of
Acts;(2) the church organization described in them is that of the second
century (3) the vocabulary and style are significantly different from that of
the other Pauline letters. Those who hold to the Pauline authorship reply that:
(1) there is no compelling reason to believe that Acts contains the complete
history of the life of Paul. Since his death is not recorded in Acts, he was
apparently released from his first imprisonment in Rome, traveled over the
empire for several years) perhaps even to Spain), was rearrested, imprisoned a
second time in Rome, and martyred under Nero, (2) Nothing in the church
organization cannot be decided solely on the basis of vocabulary, without
considering how subject matter affects a writer’s choice of words. Vocabulary
used to describe church organization, for instance, would be expected to be
different from that used to teach the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. There is no
argument against Pauline authorship that does not have a reasonable answer.
And, of course, the letters themselves claim to have been written by Paul.
Background
– Timothy, the son of a Greek
Gentile father and a devout Jewish mother named Eunice, was intimately
associated with Paul from the time of the second missionary journey, on
(2Tim.1:5; Acts 16:1-3). When Paul wrote 1 Timothy, probably from Macedonis
(1:3), he was on his way to Nicopolis (Titue3:12), but Timothy had been left in
charge of the work in Ephesus and Asia Minor. Though Paul desired to visit
Timonthy (3:14;4:13), this letter, in the meantime, would guide Timothy in the
conduct of his pastoral responsibilities.
Contents
- In relation to Timothy personally, the theme is “fighting the good
fight”(1:18). In relation to the church corporately, the theme is behaving
in the house of God (3:15).Important
subjects discussed in the epistle include the law (1:7-11), prayer (2:1-8),
appearance and activity of women(2:9-15), qualifications for bishops or elders
and for deacons (3:1-13), the last days (4:1-3), care of widows(5:3-16), and
use of money (6:6-19)
Chapter 1 Instruction concerning
doctrine; Paul’s Testimony concerning the grace of God
1 Paul, an apostle of
Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ,
which is our hope;
2 Unto Timothy, my own
son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ
our Lord.
3 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,
4 Neither give heed to
fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
5 Now the end of the
commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of
faith unfeigned:
6 From which some
having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
7 Desiring to be
teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they
affirm.
8 But we know that the law
is good, if a man use it lawfully;
9 Knowing this, that the
law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for
the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers
and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 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;
11 According to the
glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
12 And I thank Christ
Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting
me into the ministry;
13 Who was before a
blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I
did it ignorantly in unbelief.
14 And the grace of
our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
15 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.
16 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.
17 Now unto the King
eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever
and ever. Amen.
18 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;
19 Holding faith, and
a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made
shipwreck:
20 Of whom is
Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn
not to blaspheme.

2 For kings, and for all
that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all
godliness and honesty.
3 For this is good and
acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 Who will have all men to
be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God,
and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6 Who gave himself a
ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
7 Whereunto I am ordained
a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a
teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
8 I will therefore that
men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
9 In like manner also,
that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and
sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
10 But (which becometh
women professing godliness) with good works.
11 Let the woman learn
in silence with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a
woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first
formed, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not
deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
15 Notwithstanding she
shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and
holiness with sobriety.

Chapter 3 Instruction Concerning
Leaders: Bishops, Deacons
1 This is a true
saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
2 A bishop then must be
blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given
to hospitality, apt to teach;
3 Not given to wine, no
striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
4 One that ruleth well his
own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
5 (For if a man know not
how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
6 Not a novice, lest being
lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
7 Moreover he must
have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and
the snare of the devil.
8 Likewise must the
deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not
given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
9 Holding the mystery
of the faith in a pure conscience.
10 And let these also
first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found
blameless.
11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers,
sober, faithful in all things.
12 Let the deacons be the
husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
13 For they that have
used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and
great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
14 These things write
I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:
15 But if I tarry
long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of
God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
16 And without
controversy great is the mystery of
godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of
angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into
glory.
『所以作監督的必須無可指責，只作一個妻子的丈夫，節制適度，清明自守，端正規矩，樂意待客，善於教導；』提前三2
『不醉酒滋事，不打人，只要和藹，不爭競，不貪財；』提前三3
『好好管理自己的家，使兒女凡事莊重服從。』提前三4
『人若不知道管理自己的家，怎能照料神的召會？』提前三5
『初信的不可作監督，恐怕他為高傲所蒙蔽，就落在魔鬼所受的審判裏。』提前三6
『監督也必須在外人中間有好見證，恐怕他落在魔鬼藉著人的辱罵所設的網羅裏。』提前三7
『作執事的也是如此，必須莊重，不一口兩舌，不酗酒成癮，不貪卑鄙的利益；』提前三8
『用清潔的良心持守信仰的奧祕。』提前三9
『這些人也要先受試驗，若是無可指責，纔給他們服事。』提前三10
『女人也是如此，必須莊重，不說讒言，節制適度，凡事忠信。』提前三11
『執事只可作一個妻子的丈夫，好好管理兒女和自己的家。』提前三12
『因為善於服事的，自己就得到美好的地步，並且在基督耶穌裏的信仰上大有膽量。』提前三13
『我將這些事寫給你，指望快到你那裏去，』提前三14
『倘若我耽延，你也可以知道在神的家中當怎樣行；這家就是活神的召會，真理的柱石和根基。』提前三15
『並且，大哉！敬虔的奧祕！這是眾所公認的，就是：祂顯現於肉體，被稱義於靈裏，被天使看見，被傳於萬邦，被信仰於世人中，被接去於榮耀裏。』提前三16
Chapter 4 Instruction Concerning
Dangers
1 Now the Spirit speaketh
expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving
heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in
hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding to marry, and
commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with
thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
4 For every creature of
God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
5 For it is sanctified by
the word of God and prayer.
6 If thou put the
brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus
Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou
hast attained.
7 But refuse profane
and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
8 For bodily exercise
profiteth little: but godliness is profitable
unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is
to come.
9 This is a faithful
saying and worthy of all acceptation.
10 For therefore we
both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the
Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
11 These things
command and teach.
12 Let no man despise thy
youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in
charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
13 Till I come, give attendance
to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
14 Neglect not the gift
that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the
hands of the presbytery.
15 Meditate upon these
things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
16 Take heed unto
thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt
both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
『但那靈明說，在後來的時期，必有人離棄信仰，去注意迷惑人的靈和鬼的教訓；』提前四1
『這乃是藉著說謊之人的假冒，他們自己的良心猶如給熱鐵烙過；』提前四2
『他們禁止嫁娶，禁戒食物，就是神所造，給那些信的人，並認識真理的人，感謝著享受的。』提前四3
『因為凡神所造的都是好的，若感謝著領受，就沒有一樣是可棄的，』提前四4
『都藉著神的話和人的代求，成為聖別了。』提前四5
『你將這些事題醒弟兄們，便是基督耶穌的好執事，在信仰的話，並你向來所緊緊跟隨善美教訓的話上，得了餧養。』提前四6
『只是要棄絕那世俗的言語，和老婦的虛構無稽之事，並要操練自己以至於敬虔。』提前四7
『因為操練身體益處還少；惟獨敬虔，凡事都有益處，有今生和來生的應許。』提前四8
『這話是可信的，是值得完全接受的。』提前四9
『我們勞苦並竭力奮鬥，正是為此，因我們乃是寄望於活的神，祂是萬人的救主，更是信徒的救主。』提前四10
『這些事你要囑咐人，也要教導人。』提前四11
『不可叫人小看你年輕，總要在言語、為人、愛、信、純潔上，都作信徒的榜樣。』提前四12
『你要注重宣讀、勸勉、教導，直等到我來。』提前四13
『不要輕忽在你裏面的恩賜，就是從前藉著豫言，同眾長老按手所賜給你的。』提前四14
『這些事你要殷勤實行，並要投身其中，使眾人看出你的長進來。』提前四15
『你要留意自己和自己的教訓；要在這些事上持之以恆，因為這樣行，又能救自己，又能救聽你的人。』提前四16
Chapter 5 Instruction Concerning
Various Duties
1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat
him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;
2 The elder women as mothers; the
younger as sisters, with all purity.
3 Honour widows that are widows
indeed.
4 But if any widow have children or
nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their
parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.
5 Now she that is a widow indeed,
and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers
night and day.
6 But she that liveth in pleasure is
dead while she liveth.
7 And these things give in charge,
that they may be blameless.
8 But if any provide not for his
own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is
worse than an infidel.
9 Let not a widow be taken into the
number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,
10 Well reported of for good works;
if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have
washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have
diligently followed every good work.
11 But the younger widows refuse:
for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;
12 Having damnation, because they
have cast off their first faith.
13 And withal they learn to be idle,
wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and
busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
14 I will therefore that the younger
women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the
adversary to speak reproachfully.
15 For some are already turned aside
after Satan.
16 If any man or woman that
believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be
charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.
17 Let the elders that rule well be
counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and
doctrine.
18 For the scripture saith, Thou
shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy
of his reward.
19 Against an elder receive not an
accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
20 Them that sin rebuke before all,
that others also may fear.
21 I charge thee before God, and the
Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without
preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.
22 Lay hands suddenly on no man,
neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.
23 Drink no longer water, but use a
little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.
24 Some men's sins are open
beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.
25 Likewise also the good works of
some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

『人若不供養自己的親屬，尤其是自己的家人，就是棄絕了信仰，比不信的人還不如。』提前五8
『寡婦記在冊上，不可少於六十歲，只作過一個丈夫的妻子，』提前五9
『又有行善的見證，就如養育兒女，接待外人，洗聖徒的腳，救濟遭難的人，竭力行各樣的善事。』提前五10
『至於年輕的寡婦，就要拒絕；因為她們情慾發動，違背基督的時候，就想要嫁人。』提前五11
『她們被判罪，是因廢棄了當初的信誓；』提前五12
『同時她們又習慣懶惰，挨家閒遊；不但懶惰，而且說長道短，好管閒事，說些不該說的話。』提前五13
『所以我願意年輕的寡婦嫁人，生育兒女，治理家務，不給敵對者有辱罵的機會；』提前五14
『因為有些已經轉去隨從了撒但。』提前五15
『信主的婦女，若是家中有寡婦，自己就當救濟她們，不可累著召會，好使召會能救濟那真為寡婦的。』提前五16
『那善於帶領的長老，尤其是那在話語和教導上勞苦的，當被看為配受加倍的敬奉。』提前五17
『因為經上說，“牛踹穀的時候，不可籠住牠的嘴。”又說，“作工的配得工價。”』提前五18

『給人按手不可急促，不要在別人的罪上有分，要保守自己純潔。』提前五22
『因你胃口不清，屢次患病，再不要照常喝水，要稍微用點酒。』提前五23
『有些人的罪是顯明的，先去受審判；也有些人的罪是隨後跟了去的。』提前五24
『照樣，善行也有顯明的；就是那些不顯明的，也不能隱藏。』提前五25
Chapter 6 Toward Masters and Slaves,
False Teachers, Money, Godliness and One’s Trust
1 Let as many servants
as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the
name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
2 And they that have
believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather
do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the
benefit. These things teach and exhort.
3 If any man teach
otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus
Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
4 He is proud, knowing
nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy,
strife, railings, evil surmisings,
5 Perverse disputings
of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is
godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
7 For we brought nothing
into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and
raiment let us be therewith content.
9 But they that will
be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful
lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10 For the love of money
is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from
the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 But thou, O man of God,
flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love,
patience, meekness.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on
eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good
profession before many witnesses.
13 I give thee charge
in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who
before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
14 That thou keep this
commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus
Christ:
15 Which in his times he
shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord
of lords;
16 Who only hath
immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power
everlasting. Amen.
18 That they do good,
that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
19 Laying up in store for
themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold
on eternal life.
20 O Timothy, keep
that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and
oppositions of science falsely so called:
21 Which some
professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
『凡在軛下作奴僕的，當以自己的主人為配受十分尊敬的，免得神的名和我們的教訓被褻瀆。』提前六1
『奴僕若有信主的主人，不可因他們是弟兄就輕看他們，倒要越發服事他們，因為受到你們善良事工之益，而要還報你們的，是相信並蒙愛的。這些事你要教導人，並勸勉人。』提前六2
