1Paul3972, an apostle652 of Jesus2424 Christ5547 by1223 the will2307 of God2316, according to2596 the promise1860 of life2222 which3588 is in1722 Christ5547 Jesus2424,
2To Timothy5095, my dearly beloved27 son5043: Grace5485, mercy1656, and peace1515, from575 God2316 the Father3962 and2532 Christ5547 Jesus2424 our2257 Lord2962.
3I thank2192 5485 God2316, whom3739 I serve3000 from575 my forefathers4269 with1722 pure2513 conscience4893, that5613 without ceasing88 I have2192 remembrance3417 of4012 thee4675 in1722 my3450 prayers1162 night3571 and2532 day2250;
4Greatly desiring1971 to see1492 thee4571, being mindful3415 of thy4675 tears1144, that2443 I may be filled4137 with joy5479;
5When I call2983 to remembrance5280 the unfeigned505 faith4102 that is in1722 thee4671, which3748 dwelt1774 first4412 in1722 thy4675 grandmother3125 Lois3090, and2532 thy4675 mother3384 Eunice2131; and1161 I am persuaded3982 that3754 in1722 thee4671 also2532.
6Wherefore1223 3739 156 I put363 thee4571 in remembrance363 that thou stir up329 the gift5486 of God2316, which3739 is2076 in1722 thee4671 by1223 the putting on1936 of my3450 hands5495.
7For1063 God2316 hath1325 not3756 given1325 us2254 the spirit4151 of fear1167; but235 of power1411, and2532 of love26, and2532 of a sound mind4995.
8Be1870 not3361 thou1870 therefore3767 ashamed1870 of the testimony3142 of our2257 Lord2962, nor3366 of me1691 his846 prisoner1198: but235 be thou partaker of the afflictions4777 of the gospel2098 according to2596 the power1411 of God2316;
9Who3588 hath saved4982 us2248, and2532 called2564 us with an holy40 calling2821, not3756 according to2596 our2257 works2041, but235 according to2596 his own2398 purpose4286 and2532 grace5485, which3588 was given1325 us2254 in1722 Christ5547 Jesus2424 before4253 the world began5550 166,
10But1161 is5319 now3568 made manifest5319 by1223 the appearing2015 of our2257 Saviour4990 Jesus2424 Christ5547, who3303 hath abolished2673 death2288, and1161 hath brought5461 life2222 and2532 immortality861 to light5461 through1223 the gospel2098:
11Whereunto1519 3739 I1473 am appointed5087 a preacher2783, and2532 an apostle652, and2532 a teacher1320 of the Gentiles1484.
12For1223 the which3739 cause156 I3958 also2532 suffer3958 these things5023: nevertheless235 I am1870 not3756 ashamed1870: for1063 I know1492 whom3739 I have believed4100, and2532 am persuaded3982 that3754 he is2076 able1415 to keep5442 that which I3450 have committed unto him3866 against1519 that1565 day2250.
13Hold fast2192 the form5296 of sound5198 words3056, which3739 thou hast heard191 of3844 me1700, in1722 faith4102 and2532 love26 which3588 is in1722 Christ5547 Jesus2424.
14That good thing2570 which was committed unto thee3872 keep5442 by1223 the Holy40 Ghost4151 which3588 dwelleth1774 in1722 us2254.
15This5124 thou knowest1492, that3754 all3956 they which are in1722 Asia773 be turned away from654 me3165; of whom3739 are2076 Phygellus5436 and2532 Hermogenes2061.
16The Lord2962 give1325 mercy1656 unto the house3624 of Onesiphorus3683; for3754 he404 oft4178 refreshed404 me3165, and2532 was1870 not3756 ashamed1870 of my3450 chain254:
17But235, when he was1096 in1722 Rome4516, he sought2212 me3165 out2212 very diligently4706, and2532 found2147 me.
18The Lord2962 grant1325 unto him846 that he may find2147 mercy1656 of3844 the Lord2962 in1722 that1565 day2250: and2532 in how many things3745 he ministered unto me1247 at1722 Ephesus2181, thou4771 knowest1097 very well957.
