2 Timothy 1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,

Worrell⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, ² to Timothy, a beloved child: grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord. ³ I thank God, Whom I serve from my forefathers, in a pure conscience, that I have an unceasing remembrance of you in my supplications night and day; ⁴ longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy; ⁵ having a remembrance of the unfeigned faith which is in you; which, indeed, dwelt first in your grand-mother Lois, and your mother Eunice; and, I have become persuaded, in you also. ⁶ For which cause, I put you in remembrance that you stir into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of hands. ⁷ For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and sobriety. ⁸ Be not ashamed, therefore, of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner; but suffer hardship with me for the Gospel, according to the power of God, ⁹ Who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose, and grace which was given us in Christ Jesus before eternal ages, ¹⁰ but now made manifest through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus; Who abolished death, and brought to light life and incorruption through the Gospel; ¹¹ for which I was appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher. ¹² For which cause I am suffering also these things; but I am not ashamed; for I know Whom I have believed, and have become persuaded that He is able to guard my deposit unto that day. ¹³ Hold the pattern of healthful words which you heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁴ The good deposit guard through the Holy Spirit Who dwelleth in us. ¹⁵ You know this, that all in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes. ¹⁶ The Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus; because he ofttimes refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain; ¹⁷ but, being in Rome, he diligently sought me, and found me ¹⁸ (the Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord in that day); and in how many things he ministered at Ephesus, you know very well.
