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

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

I thank{G2192}{(G5719)}{G5485} God{G2316}, whom{G3739} I serve{G3000}{(G5719)} from{G575} my forefathers{G4269} with{G1722} pure{G2513} conscience{G4893}, that{G5613} without ceasing{G88} I have{G2192}{(G5719)} remembrance{G3417} of{G4012} thee{G4675} in{G1722} my{G3450} prayers{G1162} night{G3571} and{G2532} day{G2250};

Greatly desiring{G1971}{(G5723)} to see{G1492}{(G5629)} thee{G4571}, being mindful{G3415}{(G5772)} of thy{G4675} tears{G1144}, that{G2443} I may be filled{G4137}{(G5686)} with joy{G5479};

When I call{G2983}{(G5723)} to remembrance{G5280} the unfeigned{G505} faith{G4102} that is in{G1722} thee{G4671}, which{G3748} dwelt{G1774}{(G5656)} first{G4412} in{G1722} thy{G4675} grandmother{G3125} Lois{G3090}, and{G2532} thy{G4675} mother{G3384} Eunice{G2131}; and{G1161} I am persuaded{G3982}{(G5769)} that{G3754} in{G1722} thee{G4671} also{G2532}.

Wherefore{G1223}{G3739}{G156} I put{G363} thee{G4571} in remembrance{G363}{(G5719)} that thou stir up{G329}{(G5721)} the gift{G5486} of God{G2316}, which{G3739} is{G2076}{(G5748)} in{G1722} thee{G4671} by{G1223} the putting on{G1936} of my{G3450} hands{G5495}.

For{G1063} God{G2316} hath{G1325} not{G3756} given{G1325}{(G5656)} us{G2254} the spirit{G4151} of fear{G1167}; but{G235} of power{G1411}, and{G2532} of love{G26}, and{G2532} of a sound mind{G4995}.

Be{G1870} not{G3361} thou{G1870} therefore{G3767} ashamed{G1870}{(G5680)} of the testimony{G3142} of our{G2257} Lord{G2962}, nor{G3366} of me{G1691} his{G846} prisoner{G1198}: but{G235} be thou partaker of the afflictions{G4777}{(G5657)} of the gospel{G2098} according to{G2596} the power{G1411} of God{G2316};

Who{G3588} hath saved{G4982}{(G5660)} us{G2248}, and{G2532} called{G2564}{(G5660)} us with an 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{G3588} was given{G1325}{(G5685)} us{G2254} in{G1722} Christ{G5547} Jesus{G2424} before{G4253} the world began{G5550}{G166},

But{G1161} is{G5319} now{G3568} made manifest{G5319}{(G5685)} by{G1223} the appearing{G2015} of our{G2257} Saviour{G4990} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547}, who{G3303} hath abolished{G2673}{(G5660)} death{G2288}, and{G1161} hath brought{G5461} life{G2222} and{G2532} immortality{G861} to light{G5461}{(G5660)} through{G1223} the gospel{G2098}:

Whereunto{G1519}{G3739} I{G1473} am appointed{G5087}{(G5681)} a preacher{G2783}, and{G2532} an apostle{G652}, and{G2532} a teacher{G1320} of the Gentiles{G1484}.

For{G1223} the which{G3739} cause{G156} I{G3958} also{G2532} suffer{G3958}{(G5719)} these things{G5023}: nevertheless{G235} I am{G1870} not{G3756} ashamed{G1870}{(G5736)}: for{G1063} I know{G1492}{(G5758)} whom{G3739} I have believed{G4100}{(G5758)}, and{G2532} am persuaded{G3982}{(G5769)} that{G3754} he is{G2076}{(G5748)} able{G1415} to keep{G5442}{(G5658)} that which I{G3450} have committed unto him{G3866} against{G1519} that{G1565} day{G2250}.

Hold fast{G2192}{(G5720)} the form{G5296} of sound{G5198}{(G5723)} words{G3056}, which{G3739} thou hast heard{G191}{(G5656)} of{G3844} me{G1700}, in{G1722} faith{G4102} and{G2532} love{G26} which{G3588} is in{G1722} Christ{G5547} Jesus{G2424}.

That good thing{G2570} which was committed unto thee{G3872} keep{G5442}{(G5657)} by{G1223} the Holy{G40} Ghost{G4151} which{G3588} dwelleth{G1774}{(G5723)} in{G1722} us{G2254}.

This{G5124} thou knowest{G1492}{(G5758)}, that{G3754} all{G3956} they which are in{G1722} Asia{G773} be turned away from{G654}{(G5648)} me{G3165}; of whom{G3739} are{G2076}{(G5748)} Phygellus{G5436} and{G2532} Hermogenes{G2061}.

The Lord{G2962} give{G1325}{(G5630)} mercy{G1656} unto the house{G3624} of Onesiphorus{G3683}; for{G3754} he{G404} oft{G4178} refreshed{G404}{(G5656)} me{G3165}, and{G2532} was{G1870} not{G3756} ashamed{G1870}{(G5681)} of my{G3450} chain{G254}:

But{G235}, when he was{G1096}{(G5637)} in{G1722} Rome{G4516}, he sought{G2212} me{G3165} out{G2212}{(G5656)} very diligently{G4706}, and{G2532} found{G2147}{(G5627)} me.

The Lord{G2962} grant{G1325}{(G5630)} unto him{G846} that he may find{G2147}{(G5629)} mercy{G1656} of{G3844} the Lord{G2962} in{G1722} that{G1565} day{G2250}: and{G2532} in how many things{G3745} he ministered unto me{G1247}{(G5656)} at{G1722} Ephesus{G2181}, thou{G4771} knowest{G1097}{(G5719)} very well{G957}.
