Paul,{G3972} an apostle{G652} of Christ{G5547} Jesus{G2424} through{G1223} the will{G2307} of God,{G2316} according to{G2596} the promise{G1860} of the life{G2222} which is{G3588} in{G1722} Christ{G5547} Jesus,{G2424}

to Timothy,{G5095} my beloved{G27} child:{G5043} Grace,{G5485} mercy,{G1656} peace,{G1515} from{G575} God{G2316} the Father{G3962} and{G2532} Christ{G5547} Jesus{G2424} our{G2257} Lord.{G2962}

I{G2192} thank{G5485} God,{G2316} whom{G3739} I serve{G3000} from{G575} my forefathers{G4269} in{G1722} a pure{G2513} conscience,{G4893} how{G5613} unceasing{G88} is my{G2192} remembrance{G3417} of{G4012} thee{G4675} in{G1722} my{G3450} supplications,{G1162} night{G3571} and{G2532} day{G2250}

longing{G1971} to see{G1492} thee,{G4571} remembering{G3415} thy{G4675} tears,{G1144} that{G2443} I may be filled{G4137} with joy;{G5479}

having been{G2983} reminded{G5280} of the unfeigned{G505} faith{G4102} that is{G3588} in{G1722} thee;{G4671} which{G3748} dwelt{G1774} first{G4412} in{G1722} thy{G4675} grandmother{G3125} Lois,{G3090} and{G2532} thy{G4675} mother{G3384} Eunice;{G2131} and,{G1161} I am persuaded,{G3982} {G3754} in{G1722} thee{G4671} also.{G2532}

For which{G1223} cause I put{G363} thee{G4571} in remembrance{G363} that thou stir up{G329} the gift{G5486} of God,{G2316} which{G3739} is{G2076} in{G1722} thee{G4671} through{G1223} the laying on{G1936} of my{G3450} hands.{G156}

For{G1063} God{G2316} gave{G1325} us{G2254} {G1325} not{G3756} a spirit{G4151} of fearfulness;{G1167} but{G235} of power{G1411} and{G2532} love{G26} and{G2532} discipline.{G4995}

Be{G1870} not{G3361} ashamed therefore{G3767} of{G1870} the testimony{G3142} of our{G2257} Lord,{G2962} nor{G3366} of me{G1691} his{G846} prisoner:{G1198} but{G235} suffer hardship{G4777} with the gospel{G2098} according to{G2596} the power{G1411} of God;{G2316}

who saved{G4982} us,{G2248} and{G2532} called{G2564} us with a holy{G40} calling,{G2821} not{G3756} according to{G2596} our{G2257} works,{G2041} but{G235} according to{G2596} his own{G2398} purpose{G4286} and{G2532} grace,{G5485} which was given{G1325} us{G2254} in{G1722} Christ{G5547} Jesus{G2424} before{G4253} times{G166} eternal,{G5550}

but{G1161} hath{G5319} now{G3568} been manifested{G5319} by{G1223} the appearing{G2015} of our{G2257} Saviour{G4990} Christ{G5547} Jesus,{G2424} who abolished{G2673} death,{G2288} and{G1161} brought{G5461} life{G2222} and{G2532} immortality{G861} to light{G5461} through{G1223} the gospel,{G2098}

whereunto{G3739} {G1519} I{G1473} was appointed{G5087} a preacher,{G2783} and{G2532} an apostle,{G652} and{G2532} a teacher.{G1320}

For{G1223} which{G3739} cause I{G3958} suffer also{G2532} these things:{G5023} yet{G235} I am{G1870} not{G3756} ashamed;{G1870} for{G1063} I know{G1492} him whom{G3739} I have believed,{G4100} and{G2532} I am persuaded{G3982} that{G3754} he is{G2076} able{G1415} to guard{G5442} that which{G3866} I{G3450} have committed{G3866} unto him against{G1519} that{G1565} day.{G156}

Hold{G2192} the pattern{G5296} of sound{G5198} words{G3056} which{G3739} thou hast heard{G191} from{G3844} me,{G1700} in{G1722} faith{G4102} and{G2532} love{G26} which is{G3588} in{G1722} Christ{G5547} Jesus.{G2424}

That{G3588} good thing{G2570} which was committed unto [thee]{G3872} guard{G5442} through{G1223} the Holy{G40} Spirit{G4151} which dwelleth{G1774} in{G1722} us.{G2254}

This{G5124} thou knowest,{G1492} that{G3754} all{G3956} that are{G3588} in{G1722} Asia{G773} turned away from{G654} me;{G3165} of whom{G3739} are{G2076} Phygelus{G5436} and{G2532} Hermogenes.{G2061}

The Lord{G2962} grant{G1325} mercy{G1656} unto the house{G3624} of Onesiphorus:{G3683} for{G3754} he{G404} oft{G4178} refreshed{G404} me,{G3165} and{G2532} was{G1870} not{G3756} ashamed{G1870} of my{G3450} chain;{G254}

but,{G235} when he was{G1096} in{G1722} Rome,{G4516} he sought{G2212} me{G3165} diligently,{G4706} and{G2532} found{G2147} me{G3165}

(the Lord{G2962} grant{G1325} unto him{G846} to find{G2147} mercy{G1656} of{G3844} the Lord{G2962} in{G1722} that{G1565} day);{G2250} and{G2532} in how many things{G3745} he ministered{G1247} at{G1722} Ephesus,{G2181} thou{G4771} knowest{G1097} very well.{G957}
