1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and Christ Jesus our hope;
but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior;
to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory;
to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,
And I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service;
For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.
but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel. For this, I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ;
But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy became our father again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.
We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world.
to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.
They forgot God, their Savior, Who had done great things in Egypt,
Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust, and will not be afraid; for Yah, Yahweh, is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation."
I, even I, am Yahweh; and besides me there is no savior.
Most assuredly you are a God who hid yourself, God of Israel, the Savior.'
I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
You shall also suck the milk of the nations, and shall suck the breast of kings; and you shall know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
"Yet I am Yahweh your God from the land of Egypt; And you will know no god but me, And besides me there is no savior.
But arise, and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose: to appoint you a servant and a witness both of the things which you have seen, and of the things which I will reveal to you; delivering you from the people, and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you, to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Gospel of God,
Again, Isaiah says, "There will be the root of Jesse, He who arises to rule over the Gentiles; On him will the Gentiles hope." Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

1Ti 1:5-11
Here the apostle instructs Timothy how to guard against the judaizing teachers, or others who mingled fables and endless genealogies with the gospel. He shows the use of the law, and the glory of the gospel.
