Chapter 1

1


 

  Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,  

 

 

--

2


 

  to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God, the Father, and Christ Jesus, our Lord.  

 

 

--

3


 

  I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day  

 

 

--

4


 

  longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;  

 

 

--

5


 

  having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in you; which lived first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and, I am persuaded, in you also.  

 

 

--

6


 

  For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.  

 

 

--

7


 

  For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and discipline.  

 

 

--

8


 

  Don't be ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me, his prisoner; but suffer hardship with the gospel according to the power of God,  

 

 

--

9


 

  who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,  

 

 

--

10


 

  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.  

 

 

--

11


 

  For this, I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.  

 

 

--

12


 

  For this cause I suffer also these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.  

 

 

--

13


 

  Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.  

 

 

--

14


 

  That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit which dwells in us.  

 

 

--

15


 

  This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.  

 

 

--

16


 

  May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,  

 

 

--

17


 

  but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me  

 

 

--

18


 

  (the Lord grant to him to find the Lord's mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.  

 

 

--

2nd Timothy 2
