| Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus, | |
| To Timothy, my beloved son: Grace, mercy {and} peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. | |
| I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience the way my forefathers did, as I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day, | |
| longing to see you, even as I recall your tears, so that I may be filled with joy. | |
| For I am mindful of the sincere faith within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am sure that {it is} in you as well. | |
| For this reason I remind you to kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. | |
| For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline. | |
| Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me His prisoner, but join with {me} in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God, | |
| who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity, | |
| but now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, | |
| for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher. | |
| For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day. | |
| Retain the standard of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. | |
| Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to {you.} | |
| You are aware of the fact that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. | |
| The Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains; | |
| but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me-- | |
| the Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord on that day--and you know very well what services he rendered at Ephesus. |
