Dual Panel1Paul<3972>, an apostle<652> of Christ<5547> Jesus<2424> by the will<2307> of God<2316>, according<2596> to the promise<1860> of life<2222> in Christ<5547> Jesus<2424>,
2To Timothy<5095>, my beloved<27> son<5043>: Grace<5485>, mercy<1656> and peace<1515> from God<2316> the Father<3962> and Christ<5547> Jesus<2424> our Lord<2962>.
3I thank<5485> God<2316>, whom<3739> I serve<3000> with a clear<2513> conscience<4893> the way<575> my forefathers<4269> did, as I constantly<88> remember<2192><3417> you in my prayers<1162> night<3571> and day<2250>,
4longing<1971> to see<3708> you, even as I recall<3403> your tears<1144>, so<2443> that I may be filled<4137> with joy<5479>.
5For I am mindful<5280> of the sincere<505> faith<4102> within<1722> you, which<3748> first<4413> dwelt<1774> in your grandmother<3125> Lois<3090> and your mother<3384> Eunice<2131>, and I am sure<3982> that it is in you as well<2532>.
6For this<3739> reason<156> I remind<363> you to kindle<329> afresh<329> the gift<5486> of God<2316> which<3739> is in you through<1223> the laying<1936> on of my hands<5495>.
7For God<2316> has not given<1325> us a spirit<4151> of timidity<1167>, but of power<1411> and love<26> and discipline<4995>.
8Therefore<3767> do not be ashamed<1870> of the testimony<3142> of our Lord<2962> or<3366> of me His prisoner<1198>, but join<4777> with me in suffering<4777> for the gospel<2098> according<2596> to the power<1411> of God<2316>,
9who has saved<4982> us and called<2564> us with a holy<40> calling<2821>, not according<2596> to our works<2041>, but according<2596> to His own<2398> purpose<4286> and grace<5485> which was granted<1325> us in Christ<5547> Jesus<2424> from all<5550> eternity<166>,
10but now<3568> has been revealed<5319> by the appearing<2015> of our Savior<4990> Christ<5547> Jesus<2424>, who abolished<2673> death<2288> and brought<5461> life<2222> and immortality<861> to light<5461> through<1223> the gospel<2098>,
11for which<3739> I was appointed<5087> a preacher<2783> and an apostle<652> and a teacher<1320>.
12For this<3739> reason<156> I also<2532> suffer<3958> these<3778> things<3778>, but I am<1870> not ashamed<1870>; for I know<3609> whom<3739> I have believed<4100> and I am convinced<3982> that He is able<1415> to guard<5442> what<3866> I have entrusted<3866> to Him until<1519> that day<2250>.
13Retain<2192> the standard<5296> of sound<5198> words<3056> which<3739> you have heard<191> from me, in the faith<4102> and love<26> which are in Christ<5547> Jesus<2424>.
14Guard<5442>, through<1223> the Holy<40> Spirit<4151> who dwells<1774> in us, the treasure<2570><3866> which has been entrusted<3866> to you.
15You are aware<3609> of the fact<3778> that all<3956> who are in Asia<773> turned<654> away<654> from me, among whom<3739> are Phygelus<5436> and Hermogenes<2061>.
16The Lord<2962> grant<1325> mercy<1656> to the house<3624> of Onesiphorus<3683>, for he often<4178> refreshed<404> me and was not ashamed<1870> of my chains<254>;
17but when he was in Rome<4516>, he eagerly<4709> searched<2212> for me and found<2147> me--
18the Lord<2962> grant<1325> to him to find<2147> mercy<1656> from the Lord<2962> on that day<2250>--and you know<1097> very<957> well<957> what<3745> services<1247> he rendered<1247> at Ephesus<2181>.
