1 Paul|strong="G3972", an apostle|strong="G0652" of Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547" by|strong="G1223" the will|strong="G2307" of God|strong="G2316", according to|strong="G2596" the promise|strong="G1860" of life|strong="G2222" which is|strong="G3588" in|strong="G1722" Christ|strong="G5547" Jesus|strong="G2424",
2 To Timothy|strong="G5095", my dearly beloved|strong="G0027" son|strong="G5043": Grace|strong="G5485", mercy|strong="G1656", and peace|strong="G1515", from|strong="G0575" God|strong="G2316" the Father|strong="G3962" and|strong="G2532" Christ|strong="G5547" Jesus|strong="G2424" our|strong="G2257" Lord|strong="G2962".
3 I|strong="G2192" thank|strong="G5485" God|strong="G2316", whom|strong="G3739" I serve|strong="G3000" from|strong="G0575" my forefathers|strong="G4269" with|strong="G1722" pure|strong="G2513" conscience|strong="G4893", that|strong="G5613" without ceasing|strong="G0088" I have|strong="G2192" remembrance|strong="G3417" of|strong="G4012" thee|strong="G4675" in|strong="G1722" my|strong="G3450" prayers|strong="G1162" night|strong="G3571" and|strong="G2532" day|strong="G2250";
4 Greatly desiring|strong="G1971" to see|strong="G1492" thee|strong="G4571", being mindful|strong="G3415" of thy|strong="G4675" tears|strong="G1144", that|strong="G2443" I may be filled|strong="G4137" with joy|strong="G5479";
5 When I call|strong="G2983" to remembrance|strong="G5280" the unfeigned|strong="G0505" faith|strong="G4102" that is|strong="G3588" in|strong="G1722" thee|strong="G4671", which|strong="G3748" dwelt|strong="G1774" first|strong="G4412" in|strong="G1722" thy|strong="G4675" grandmother|strong="G3125" Lois|strong="G3090", and|strong="G2532" thy|strong="G4675" mother|strong="G3384" Eunice|strong="G2131"; and|strong="G1161" I am persuaded|strong="G3982" that|strong="G3754" in|strong="G1722" thee|strong="G4671" also|strong="G2532".
6 Wherefore|strong="G1223" I put|strong="G0363" thee|strong="G4571" in remembrance|strong="G0363" that thou stir up|strong="G0329" the gift|strong="G5486" of God|strong="G2316", which|strong="G3739" is|strong="G2076" in|strong="G1722" thee|strong="G4671" by|strong="G1223" the putting on|strong="G1936" of my|strong="G3450" hands|strong="G5495".
7 For|strong="G1063" God|strong="G2316" hath|strong="G1325" not|strong="G3756" given|strong="G1325" us|strong="G2254" the spirit|strong="G4151" of fear|strong="G1167"; but|strong="G0235" of power|strong="G1411", and|strong="G2532" of love|strong="G0026", and|strong="G2532" of a sound mind|strong="G4995".
8 Be not|strong="G3361" thou|strong="G1870" therefore|strong="G3767" ashamed of|strong="G1870" the testimony|strong="G3142" of our|strong="G2257" Lord|strong="G2962", nor|strong="G3366" of me|strong="G1691" his|strong="G0846" prisoner|strong="G1198": but|strong="G0235" be thou partaker of the afflictions|strong="G4777" of the gospel|strong="G2098" according to|strong="G2596" the power|strong="G1411" of God|strong="G2316";
9 Who hath saved|strong="G4982" us|strong="G2248", and|strong="G2532" called|strong="G2564" us with an holy|strong="G0040" calling|strong="G2821", not|strong="G3756" according to|strong="G2596" our|strong="G2257" works|strong="G2041", but|strong="G0235" according to|strong="G2596" his own|strong="G2398" purpose|strong="G4286" and|strong="G2532" grace|strong="G5485", which was given|strong="G1325" us|strong="G2254" in|strong="G1722" Christ|strong="G5547" Jesus|strong="G2424" before|strong="G4253" the world|strong="G5550" began|strong="G0166",
10 But|strong="G1161" is|strong="G5319" now|strong="G3568" made manifest|strong="G5319" by|strong="G1223" the appearing|strong="G2015" of our|strong="G2257" Saviour|strong="G4990" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547", who hath abolished|strong="G2673" death|strong="G2288", and|strong="G1161" hath brought|strong="G5461" life|strong="G2222" and|strong="G2532" immortality|strong="G0861" to light|strong="G5461" through|strong="G1223" the gospel|strong="G2098":
11 Where|strong="G3739" unto|strong="G1519" I|strong="G1473" am appointed|strong="G5087" a preacher|strong="G2783", and|strong="G2532" an apostle|strong="G0652", and|strong="G2532" a teacher|strong="G1320" of the Gentiles|strong="G1484".
12 For|strong="G1223" the which|strong="G3739" cause I|strong="G3958" also|strong="G2532" suffer these things|strong="G5023": nevertheless|strong="G0235" I am|strong="G1870" not|strong="G3756" ashamed|strong="G1870": for|strong="G1063" I know|strong="G1492" whom|strong="G3739" I have believed|strong="G4100", and|strong="G2532" am persuaded|strong="G3982" that|strong="G3754" he is|strong="G2076" able|strong="G1415" to keep|strong="G5442" that which|strong="G3866" I|strong="G3450" have committed|strong="G3866" unto him against|strong="G1519" that|strong="G1565" day|strong="G2250".
13 Hold fast|strong="G2192" the form|strong="G5296" of sound|strong="G5198" words|strong="G3056", which|strong="G3739" thou hast heard|strong="G0191" of|strong="G3844" me|strong="G1700", in|strong="G1722" faith|strong="G4102" and|strong="G2532" love|strong="G0026" which is|strong="G3588" in|strong="G1722" Christ|strong="G5547" Jesus|strong="G2424".
14 That|strong="G3588" good thing|strong="G2570" which was committed unto thee|strong="G3872" keep|strong="G5442" by|strong="G1223" the Holy|strong="G0040" Ghost|strong="G4151" which dwelleth|strong="G1774" in|strong="G1722" us|strong="G2254".
15 This|strong="G5124" thou knowest|strong="G1492", that|strong="G3754" all|strong="G3956" they which are|strong="G3588" in|strong="G1722" Asia|strong="G0773" be turned away from|strong="G0654" me|strong="G3165"; of whom|strong="G3739" are|strong="G2076" Phygellus|strong="G5436" and|strong="G2532" Hermogenes|strong="G2061".
16 The Lord|strong="G2962" give|strong="G1325" mercy|strong="G1656" unto the house|strong="G3624" of Onesiphorus|strong="G3683"; for|strong="G3754" he|strong="G0404" oft|strong="G4178" refreshed|strong="G0404" me|strong="G3165", and|strong="G2532" was|strong="G1870" not|strong="G3756" ashamed|strong="G1870" of my|strong="G3450" chain|strong="G0254":
17 But|strong="G0235", when he was|strong="G1096" in|strong="G1722" Rome|strong="G4516", he sought|strong="G2212" me|strong="G3165" out|strong="G2212" very diligently|strong="G4706", and|strong="G2532" found|strong="G2147" me.
18 The Lord|strong="G2962" grant|strong="G1325" unto him|strong="G0846" that he may find|strong="G2147" mercy|strong="G1656" of|strong="G3844" the Lord|strong="G2962" in|strong="G1722" that|strong="G1565" day|strong="G2250": and|strong="G2532" in how many things|strong="G3745" he ministered|strong="G1247" unto me at|strong="G1722" Ephesus|strong="G2181", thou|strong="G4771" knowest|strong="G1097" very well|strong="G0957".
