Paul's Longing to See Timothy Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, according to promise of life of the one in Christ Jesus.
-
To Timothy my beloved son, favor, mercy, peace from God the father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.
-
Gratitude I have to God, in whom I serve from my precursors, with a clean conscience, how continually I have the [2concerning 3you 1memory] in my supplications night and day;
-
longing to see you, remembering your tears, that with joy I should be filled;
-
[2recollection 1taking] of the [3in 4you 1unpretentious 2belief], which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois, and in your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that also is in you.
-
Rekindle the Favor of God For which reason I remind you to rekindle the favor of God, which is in you by the laying on of my hands.
-
[3did not 1For 4give 5to us 2God] a spirit of dread, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
-
Therefore you should not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor me his prisoner; but suffer evil along with the good news according to the power of God!
-
of the one preserving us, and having called [2calling 1with a holy], not according to our works, but according to his own intention and favor, the one having been given to us in Christ Jesus before times everlasting;
-
and made manifest now through the grandeur of our deliverer Jesus Christ, the one clearing away indeed death, and having enlightened life and incorruptibility through the good news;
-
in which I was appointed herald, and apostle, and teacher of nations.
-
For which reason also these things I suffer; but I am not ashamed, for I know in whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able [2my deposit in his care 1to keep] for that day.
-
Speak Healthy Words [2a pattern 1Have] of healthy words! which [2by 3me 1you heard] in belief and love, in the one in Christ Jesus.
-
[2the 3good 4trust 1Guard] through [2spirit 1holy], of the one dwelling in us!
-
Know this, that they turned away from me-- all the ones in Asia, of whom is Phygellus and Hermogenes.
-
May [3give 4mercy 1the 2Lord] to the house of Onesiphorus, for often he refreshed me, and [3of my chain 1he was not 2ashamed];
-
but being in Rome, more diligently he sought me, and found me.
-
May [3grant 4to him 1the 2Lord] to find mercy from the Lord in that day, and for as much as in Ephesus he served-- better you know it.
-
Endure Hardship You then, my child, be empowered in the favor, in the one in Christ Jesus!
-
And the things you heard from me through many witnesses, these things place unto trustworthy men, ones who will be fit also [2others 1to teach]!
-
You then suffer hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ!
-
No one soldiering entangles himself in the [2existence 1matters of]; that [2the 3one recruiting him 1he should have pleased].
-
And if also anyone should fight, he is not crowned if [2not 4lawfully 1he should 3fight].
-
The [3tire by labor 1farmer 2must] before first [2the 3fruits 1sharing].
-
Comprehend what I say! [2may 5give 1for 6to you 3the 4Lord] understanding in all things.
-
Remember Jesus Christ being raised from the dead! from the seed of David, according to my good news,
-
in which I suffer hardship unto bonds as an evildoer; but the word of God is not bound.
-
Because of this [2all things 1I endure] on account of the chosen, that also they [2deliverance 1should attain], of the one in Christ Jesus with [2glory 1eternal].
-
Trustworthy is the word, For if we died together, also we shall live together;
-
if we endure, also we shall reign together; if we deny, that one also will deny us;
-
if we disbelieve, that one is sure to abide; to deny himself he is not able.
-
These things be reminded! testifying before the Lord not to argue over words, for no profit unto the undoing of the ones hearing.
-
Hurry [2yourself 3unadulterated 1to present] to God! a worker unashamed, cutting straight the word of truth.
-
And the profane idle talk stand from! [2unto 3more 1for] they will progress in impious deeds,
-
and their word as a gangrenous pasture holds forth; whom is Hymeneus and Philetus;
-
who concerning the truth miss the aim, saying, The resurrection already has taken place; and are upsetting the belief of some.
-
However [4solid 1the foundation 2of God 3stands], having this seal, The Lord knows the ones being his, and, Let [6abstain 7from 8iniquity 1every one 2naming 3the 4name 5of Christ]!
-
[2in 3a great 1But] house not only are there utensils of gold and silver, but also wooden and earthenware, and some for honor, but others for dishonor.
-
If then one should have cleared himself from these, he shall be a utensil for honor, having been sanctified and useful to the master, [2for 3every 5work 4good 1having been prepared].
-
But the youthful desires flee from, and pursue righteousness, belief, love, peace with the ones calling upon the Lord out of a clean heart!
-
But the moronish and uninstructed inquiries ask pardon from! knowing that they engender fights.
-
And a bondman of the Lord must not quarrel; but be calm to all, qualified for teaching, enduring evil,
-
in gentleness correcting the ones being in opposition; lest at any time [2should give 3to them 1God] a change of heart to full knowledge of truth;
-
and they should recover from out of the [2of the 3devil 1snare], having been taken alive by him for that ones's will.
-
Evil Men in the Last Days But this know! that in the last days [3will be present 2times 1ill-tempered];
-
[3will be 1for 2men] fond of themselves, fond of money, ostentatious, proud, blasphemous, [2of parents 1resisting the persuasion], ungracious, unholy,
-
unaffectionate, hostile, devilish, immoderate, untamed, disliking good,
-
betrayers, precipitous, being deluded, friends of pleasure rather than friends of God;
-
having the appearance of piety, but [2its power 1denying]. Even these turn away from!
-
[2from out of 3these 1For] are the ones entering into the houses, and capturing the vain women heaped with sins, being led [2desires 1by various],
-
at all times learning, and not at any time [3in 4full knowledge 5of the truth 2to come 1being able].
-
[2in which manner 1And] Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these oppose the truth; men being corrupted in the mind, unproved concerning the belief.
-
But they shall not progress unto more; for their thoughtlessness will be evident to all, as also their's was.
-
Imitate Paul's Conduct But you have closely followed my instruction in the conduct, in the intention, in the belief, in the long-suffering, in the love, in the endurance,
-
in the persecutions, in the sufferings, such as happened to me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra-- of such persecutions I endured. And from out of all [3rescued me 1the 2Lord].
-
[2even 3all 1But] the ones wanting [2piously 1to live] in Christ Jesus shall be persecuted.
-
But wicked men and impostors shall progress unto the worse, misleading, and being misled.
-
But you abide in the things which you learned, and were trustworthy! knowing from whom you learned.
-
And that from a babe [2the 3consecrated 4writings 1you knew], the ones being able to make you wise unto deliverance, through belief, of the one in Christ Jesus.
-
Scripture Is God Inspired Every scripture is God inspired, and beneficial for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction-- the one in righteousness;
-
that [5complete 4should be 1the 3of God 2man] for [2every 4work 3good 1accomplishing].
-
Preach the Word [2testify 3then 1I] in the presence of God and the Lord Jesus Christ, of the one being about to judge the living and the dead, according to his grandeur and his kingdom.
-
Proclaim the word! Attend opportunely and inopportunely! Reprove! Reproach! Comfort in all long-suffering and teaching!
-
For there will be a time when [3healthy 4teaching 1they will not 2endure], but according to [2desires 1their own 4to themselves 3they will accumulate] teachers tickling the hearing.
-
And from indeed the truth, the one hearing, they shall turn away, [3unto 1and 4the 5fables 2they shall be turned aside].
-
But you be sober in all things! Suffer hardships! [2the work 1Do] of an evangelist! Of your service have full assurance!
-
Paul's Struggle For I already am offered as a libation, and the time of my separation stands by.
-
The [2struggle 1good] I have struggled; the race I have finished; the belief I have kept.
-
Remaining reserved for me is the [2of righteousness 1crown], which [6will recompense 7to me 1the 2Lord 8in 9that 10day 3the 4righteous 5judge]; [2not 3only 1and] to me, but also to all the ones loving his grandeur.
-
Hurry to come to me quickly!
-
for Demas abandoned me, having loved the present eon, and is gone to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.
-
Luke is alone with me. Having taken up Mark, bring him with yourself, for he is useful to me in service!
-
And Tychicus I sent to Ephesus.
-
The hooded cloak which I left in Troas with Carpus, when coming bring, and the scrolls, especially the parchments!
-
Alexander the brazier [2many 4against me 3bad things 1demonstrated]; may [3render 4to him 1the 2Lord] according to his works--
-
the one whom you also watch out for! for exceedingly he has opposed our words.
-
In my first defense no one came together with me, but all abandoned me. [2not 4against them 1May it 3be imputed].
-
But the Lord stood by me, and empowered me, that through me the proclamation should be fully assured, and [4should hear 1all 2the 3nations]. And I was rescued from the mouth of the lion.
-
And [3shall rescue 4me 1the 2Lord] from every [2work 1evil], and shall preserve me for [3kingdom 1his 2heavenly]; to whom be the glory into the eons of the eons. Amen.
-
Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus!
-
Erastus stayed in Corinth, but Trophimus I left in Miletus sick.
-
Hurry before winter to come! [2greets 3you 1Eubulus], and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and [2the 3brethren 1all].
-
The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Favor be with you. Amen.
