[1]PaulG3972, an apostleG652 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 byG1223 the willG2307 of GodG2316, according toG2596 the promiseG1860 of lifeG2222 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424,
[2]To TimothyG5095, my dearly belovedG27 sonG5043: GraceG5485, mercyG1656, and peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 the FatherG3962 andG2532 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 ourG2257 LordG2962.
[3]I thankG2192[G5719][G5485] GodG2316, whomG3739 I serveG3000[G5719] fromG575 my forefathersG4269 withG1722 pureG2513 conscienceG4893, thatG5613 without ceasingG88 I haveG2192[G5719] remembranceG3417 ofG4012 theeG4675 inG1722 myG3450 prayersG1162 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250;
[4]Greatly desiringG1971[G5723] to seeG1492[G5629] theeG4571, being mindfulG3415[G5772] of thyG4675 tearsG1144, thatG2443 I may be filledG4137[G5686] with joyG5479;
[5]When I callG2983[G5723] to remembranceG5280 the unfeignedG505 faithG4102 that is inG1722 theeG4671, whichG3748 dweltG1774[G5656] firstG4412 inG1722 thyG4675 grandmotherG3125 LoisG3090, andG2532 thyG4675 motherG3384 EuniceG2131; andG1161 I am persuadedG3982[G5769] thatG3754 inG1722 theeG4671 alsoG2532.
[6]WhereforeG1223[G3739][G156] I putG363 theeG4571 in remembranceG363[G5719] that thou stir upG329[G5721] the giftG5486 of GodG2316, whichG3739 isG2076[G5748] inG1722 theeG4671 byG1223 the putting onG1936 of myG3450 handsG5495.
[7]ForG1063 GodG2316 hathG1325 notG3756 givenG1325[G5656] usG2254 the spiritG4151 of fearG1167; butG235 of powerG1411, andG2532 of loveG26, andG2532 of a sound mindG4995.
[8]BeG1870 notG3361 thouG1870 thereforeG3767 ashamedG1870[G5680] of the testimonyG3142 of ourG2257 LordG2962, norG3366 of meG1691 hisG846 prisonerG1198: butG235 be thou partaker of the afflictionsG4777[G5657] of the gospelG2098 according toG2596 the powerG1411 of GodG2316;
[9]WhoG3588 hath savedG4982[G5660] usG2248, andG2532 calledG2564[G5660] us with an holyG40 callingG2821, notG3756 according toG2596 ourG2257 worksG2041, butG235 according toG2596 his ownG2398 purposeG4286 andG2532 graceG5485, whichG3588 was givenG1325[G5685] usG2254 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 beforeG4253 G5550the world beganG166,
[10]ButG1161 isG5319 nowG3568 made manifestG5319[G5685] byG1223 the appearingG2015 of ourG2257 SaviourG4990 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, whoG3303 hath abolishedG2673[G5660] deathG2288, andG1161 hath broughtG5461 lifeG2222 andG2532 immortalityG861 to lightG5461[G5660] throughG1223 the gospelG2098:
[11]WhereuntoG1519[G3739] IG1473 am appointedG5087[G5681] a preacherG2783, andG2532 an apostleG652, andG2532 a teacherG1320 of the GentilesG1484.
[12]ForG1223 the whichG3739 causeG156 IG3958 alsoG2532 sufferG3958[G5719] these thingsG5023: neverthelessG235 I amG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870[G5736]: forG1063 I knowG1492[G5758] whomG3739 I have believedG4100[G5758], andG2532 am persuadedG3982[G5769] thatG3754 he isG2076[G5748] ableG1415 to keepG5442[G5658] that which IG3450 have committed unto himG3866 againstG1519 thatG1565 dayG2250.
[13]Hold fastG2192[G5720] the formG5296 of soundG5198[G5723] wordsG3056, whichG3739 thou hast heardG191[G5656] ofG3844 meG1700, inG1722 faithG4102 andG2532 loveG26 whichG3588 is inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
[14]That good thingG2570 which was committed unto theeG3872 keepG5442[G5657] byG1223 the HolyG40 GhostG4151 whichG3588 dwellethG1774[G5723] inG1722 usG2254.
[15]ThisG5124 thou knowestG1492[G5758], thatG3754 allG3956 they which are inG1722 AsiaG773 be turned away fromG654[G5648] meG3165; of whomG3739 areG2076[G5748] PhygellusG5436 andG2532 HermogenesG2061.
[16]The LordG2962 giveG1325[G5630] mercyG1656 unto the houseG3624 of OnesiphorusG3683; forG3754 heG404 oftG4178 refreshedG404[G5656] meG3165, andG2532 wasG1870 notG3756 ashamedG1870[G5681] of myG3450 chainG254:
[17]ButG235, when he wasG1096[G5637] inG1722 RomeG4516, he soughtG2212 meG3165 outG2212[G5656] very diligentlyG4706, andG2532 foundG2147 meG5627.
[18]The LordG2962 grantG1325[G5630] unto himG846 that he may findG2147[G5629] mercyG1656 ofG3844 the LordG2962 inG1722 thatG1565 dayG2250: andG2532 in how many thingsG3745 he ministered unto meG1247[G5656] atG1722 EphesusG2181, thouG4771 knowestG1097[G5719] very wellG957.
