2 Timothy 1

Timothy Charged to Guard His Trust

1Paul, 1an apostle of 2Christ Jesus 34by the will of God, according to the promise of 5life in Christ Jesus,

2To 6Timothy, my beloved 78son: 9Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

310I thank God, whom I 11serve with a 12clear conscience 13the way my forefathers did, 14as I constantly remember you in my 15prayers night and day, 416longing to see you, 17even as I recall your tears, so that I may be filled with joy. 518For I am mindful of the 19sincere faith within you, which first dwelled in your grandmother Lois and 20your mother Eunice, and I am sure that it is in you as well. 6For this reason I remind you to kindle afresh 21the gift of God which is in you through 22the laying on of my hands. 7For God has not given us a 23spirit of 24timidity, but of power and love and 25discipline.

8Therefore 26do not be ashamed of the 27testimony of our Lord or of me 28His prisoner, but join with me in 29suffering for the 30gospel according to the power of God, 9who 31saved us and 32called us with a holy 33calling, 34not according to our works, but according to His own 35purpose and grace, which was granted to us in 36Christ Jesus from 37all eternity, 10but has 38now been revealed by the 39appearing of our Savior 40Christ Jesus, who 41abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 1142for which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher. 12For this reason I also suffer these things; but 43I am not ashamed, for I know 44whom I have believed, and I am convinced that He is able to 45protect what I have entrusted to Him 46until 47that day. 1348Hold on to the 49example of 50sound words 51which you have heard from me, in the 52faith and love which are in 53Christ Jesus. 14Protect, through the Holy Spirit who 54dwells in us, the 5556treasure which has been entrusted to you.

15You are aware of the fact that all who are in 5758Asia 59turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. 16The Lord grant mercy to 60the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and 61was not ashamed of my 6263chains; 17but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me-- 18the Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord on 64that day--and you know very well what services he rendered at 65Ephesus.
