Greeting

¹Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the ⚓promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
²To Timothy, a ⚓beloved son:
Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Timothy’s Faith and Heritage

³I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my⚓forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day, ⁴greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy, ⁵when I call to remembrance ⚓the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and ⚓your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also. ⁶Therefore I remind you ⚓to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. ⁷For ⚓God has not given us a spirit of fear, ⚓but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Not Ashamed of the Gospel

⁸⚓Therefore do not be ashamed of ⚓the testimony of our Lord, nor of me ⚓His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, ⁹who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, ⚓not according to our works, but ⚓according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus ⚓before time began, ¹⁰but ⚓has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, ¹¹⚓to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. ¹²For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, ⚓for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.

Be Loyal to the Faith

¹³⚓Hold fast ⚓the pattern of ⚓sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. ¹⁴That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
¹⁵This you know, that all those in Asia have turned away from me, among whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes. ¹⁶The Lord grant mercy to the ⚓household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain; ¹⁷but when he arrived in Rome, he sought me out very zealously and found me. ¹⁸The Lord ⚓grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord ⚓in that Day—and you know very well how many ways he ⚓ministered to me at Ephesus.
