1 Timothy

Higly interesting guidelines for relationships and sexuality from the makor apostle to the pupil. The english is quite confining for women, and suggests many things that are very different from the fairly straightforward greek, and sometimes it is completely the contrary. The image that emerges from the greek is a very pleasant, homorable and holy one, but quite quite different from what I have encountered in and outsiode christianity, but resembles my inner feelings, the way I've at times been able to live, and the way I could see eternal life and hapiness happen very closely.

Evidently, this is only a starting point for translation, it contains the lexicon entries for most words, and I'll try to make a more sentence-wise translation later. I strongly think it should be sufficiently clear though.
