1Paul <3972>_, an apostle <652> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> by <1223> the will <2307> of God <2316>_, according to <2596> the promise <1860> of life <2222> which <3588> is in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>_,
2To Timothy <5095>_, [my] dearly beloved <27> son <5043>_: Grace <5485>_, mercy <1656>_, [and] peace <1515>_, from <575> God <2316> the Father <3962> and <2532> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> our <2257> Lord <2962>_.
3I thank <2192> (5719) <5485> God <2316>_, whom <3739> I serve <3000> (5719) from <575> [my] forefathers <4269> with <1722> pure <2513> conscience <4893>_, that <5613> without ceasing <88> I have <2192> (5719) remembrance <3417> of <4012> thee <4675> in <1722> my <3450> prayers <1162> night <3571> and <2532> day <2250>_;
4Greatly desiring <1971> (5723) to see <1492> (5629) thee <4571>_, being mindful <3415> (5772) of thy <4675> tears <1144>_, that <2443> I may be filled <4137> (5686) with joy <5479>_; {Greatly...: or, remembering thy tears, I greatly desire to see thee that}
5When I call <2983> (5723) to remembrance <5280> the unfeigned <505> faith <4102> that is in <1722> thee <4671>_, which <3748> dwelt <1774> (5656) first <4412> in <1722> thy <4675> grandmother <3125> Lois <3090>_, and <2532> thy <4675> mother <3384> Eunice <2131>_; and <1161> I am persuaded <3982> (5769) that <3754> in <1722> thee <4671> also <2532>_.
6Wherefore <1223> <3739> <156> I put <363> (0) thee <4571> in remembrance <363> (5719) that thou stir up <329> (5721) the gift <5486> of God <2316>_, which <3739> is <2076> (5748) in <1722> thee <4671> by <1223> the putting on <1936> of my <3450> hands <5495>_.
7For <1063> God <2316> hath <1325> (0) not <3756> given <1325> (5656) us <2254> the spirit <4151> of fear <1167>_; but <235> of power <1411>_, and <2532> of love <26>_, and <2532> of a sound mind <4995>_.
8Be <1870> (0) not <3361> thou <1870> (0) therefore <3767> ashamed <1870> (5680) of the testimony <3142> of our <2257> Lord <2962>_, nor <3366> of me <1691> his <846> prisoner <1198>_: but <235> be thou partaker of the afflictions <4777> (5657) of the gospel <2098> according to <2596> the power <1411> of God <2316>_;
9Who <3588> hath saved <4982> (5660) us <2248>_, and <2532> called <2564> (5660) [us] with an holy <40> calling <2821>_, not <3756> according to <2596> our <2257> works <2041>_, but <235> according to <2596> his own <2398> purpose <4286> and <2532> grace <5485>_, which <3588> was given <1325> (5685) us <2254> in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> before <4253> the world began <5550> <166>_,
10But <1161> is <5319> (0) now <3568> made manifest <5319> (5685) by <1223> the appearing <2015> of our <2257> Saviour <4990> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>_, who <3303> hath abolished <2673> (5660) death <2288>_, and <1161> hath brought <5461> (0) life <2222> and <2532> immortality <861> to light <5461> (5660) through <1223> the gospel <2098>_:
11Whereunto <1519> <3739> I <1473> am appointed <5087> (5681) a preacher <2783>_, and <2532> an apostle <652>_, and <2532> a teacher <1320> of the Gentiles <1484>_.
12For <1223> the which <3739> cause <156> I <3958> (0) also <2532> suffer <3958> (5719) these things <5023>_: nevertheless <235> I am <1870> (0) not <3756> ashamed <1870> (5736)_: for <1063> I know <1492> (5758) whom <3739> I have believed <4100> (5758)_, and <2532> am persuaded <3982> (5769) that <3754> he is <2076> (5748) able <1415> to keep <5442> (5658) that which I <3450> have committed unto him <3866> against <1519> that <1565> day <2250>_. {believed: or, trusted}
13Hold fast <2192> (5720) the form <5296> of sound <5198> (5723) words <3056>_, which <3739> thou hast heard <191> (5656) of <3844> me <1700>_, in <1722> faith <4102> and <2532> love <26> which <3588> is in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>_.
14That good thing <2570> which was committed unto thee <3872> keep <5442> (5657) by <1223> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151> which <3588> dwelleth <1774> (5723) in <1722> us <2254>_.
15This <5124> thou knowest <1492> (5758)_, that <3754> all <3956> they which are in <1722> Asia <773> be turned away from <654> (5648) me <3165>_; of whom <3739> are <2076> (5748) Phygellus <5436> and <2532> Hermogenes <2061>_.
16The Lord <2962> give <1325> (5630) mercy <1656> unto the house <3624> of Onesiphorus <3683>_; for <3754> he <404> (0) oft <4178> refreshed <404> (5656) me <3165>_, and <2532> was <1870> (0) not <3756> ashamed <1870> (5681) of my <3450> chain <254>_:
17But <235>_, when he was <1096> (5637) in <1722> Rome <4516>_, he sought <2212> (0) me <3165> out <2212> (5656) very diligently <4706>_, and <2532> found <2147> (5627) [me].
18The Lord <2962> grant <1325> (5630) unto him <846> that he may find <2147> (5629) mercy <1656> of <3844> the Lord <2962> in <1722> that <1565> day <2250>_: and <2532> in how many things <3745> he ministered unto me <1247> (5656) at <1722> Ephesus <2181>_, thou <4771> knowest <1097> (5719) very well <957>_.
