1 Paul, aan apostle of bChrist Jesus ▼▼Lit through
dby the will of God, according to the promise of elife in Christ Jesus, 2 To fTimothy, my beloved ▼▼Or child
hson: iGrace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. 3 jI thank God, whom I kserve with a lclear conscience ▼▼Lit from my forefathers
the way my forefathers did, nas I constantly remember you in my ▼▼Or petitions
prayers night and day, 4 plonging to see you, qeven as I recall your tears, so that I may be filled with joy. 5 ▼▼Lit Receiving remembrance of
For I am mindful of the ssincere faith within you, which first dwelled in your grandmother Lois and tyour mother Eunice, and I am sure that it is in you as well. 6For this reason I remind you to kindle afresh uthe gift of God which is in you through vthe laying on of my hands. 7For God has not given us a wspirit of ▼▼Or cowardice
timidity, but of power and love and ▼▼Or sound judgment
discipline. 8 Therefore zdo not be ashamed of the aatestimony of our Lord or of me abHis prisoner, but join with me in acsuffering for the adgospel according to the power of God, 9who aesaved us and afcalled us with a holy agcalling, ahnot according to our works, but according to His own aipurpose and grace, which was granted to us in ajChrist Jesus from akall eternity, 10but has alnow been revealed by the amappearing of our Savior anChrist Jesus, who aoabolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 11 apfor which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher. 12For this reason I also suffer these things; but aqI am not ashamed, for I know arwhom I have believed, and I am convinced that He is able to asprotect what I have entrusted to Him ▼▼Or for
until authat day. 13 avHold on to the awexample of axsound words aywhich you have heard from me, in the azfaith and love which are in baChrist Jesus. 14Protect, through the Holy Spirit who bbdwells in us, the ▼▼Lit good deposit
bdtreasure which has been entrusted to you. 15 You are aware of the fact that all who are in ▼▼I.e., the province of Asia
bfAsia bgturned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. 16The Lord grant mercy to bhthe household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and biwas not ashamed of my ▼▼Lit chain
bkchains; 17but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me-- 18the Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord on blthat day--and you know very well what services he rendered at bmEphesus.
