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 did my ancestors, with a clear conscience, as I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day. |
4
|
As I remember your tears, I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy. |

I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well. |
6
|

Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, |
9
|
who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, |
10
|
and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, |
11
|
for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher, |
12
|
which is why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that Day what has been entrusted to me. |
13
|
Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. |
14
|
By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you. |

You are aware that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. |

May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains, |
17
|
but when he arrived in Rome he searched for me earnestly and found me- |
18
|
may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on that Day!- and you well know all the service he rendered at Ephesus. |
