2 Timothy 1

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

Paul, an apostle of Yahushua the Messiah by the will of YHWH, according to the promise of life which is in Yahushua the Messiah,

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

To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Favour, mercy, and peace, from YHWH the Father and Yahushua the Messiah our Master.

3 I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience as did my forefathers, as I constantly remember you night and day in my prayers.

I thank YHWH, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;

4 Recalling your tears, I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy.

Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;

5 I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am convinced is in you as well.

When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of YHWH, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

For YHWH hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

8 So do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, or of me, His prisoner. Instead, join me in suffering for the gospel by the power of God.

Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Master, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the evangel according to the power of YHWH;

9 He has saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works, but by His own purpose and by the grace He granted us in Christ Jesus before time began. (aiōnios g166)

Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and Favour, which was given us in Yahushua the Messiah before the world began, (aiōnios g166)

10 And now He has revealed this grace through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has abolished death and illuminated the way to life and immortality through the gospel,

But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Yahushua the Messiah, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the glad tidings:

11 to which I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher.

Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

12 For this reason, even though I suffer as I do, I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him for that day.

For the which cause 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 that which I have committed unto him against that day.

13 Hold on to the pattern of sound teaching you have heard from me, with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Yahushua the Messiah.

14 Guard the treasure entrusted to you, with the help of the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Spirit which dwelleth in us.

15 You know that everyone in the Province of Asia has deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.

This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

16 May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he has often refreshed me and was unashamed of my chains.

YHWH give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:

17 Indeed, when he arrived in Rome, he searched diligently until he found me.

But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.

18 May the Lord grant Onesiphorus His mercy on that day. You know very well how much he ministered to me in Ephesus.

YHWH grant unto him that he may find mercy in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
