2 I'm sending it to you Timothy, my dear son. May you have grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

To Timothy [my] beloved child: Grace, mercy, [and] peace from God [the] Father and Christ Jesus the Lord of us.

3 I'm always thinking of you and I'm so thankful to God, whom I serve as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience. I never forget to mention you in my prayers.

Thankful I am to God, whom I serve from [my] forefathers with a pure conscience, as unceasingly I have the of you remembrance in the prayers of mine night and day

4 I remember how you cried, and I so want to see you! That would make me really happy.

longing you to see, having yourself recalled your tears, so that with joy I may be filled

5 I keep in mind your sincere trust in God, the same trust that your grandmother Lois and mother Eunice also had—and I know that same trust continues in you.

remembrance (having taken *N(k)O*) of the within you sincere faith, which dwelt first in the grandmother of you Lois and in the mother of you Eunice, I have been persuaded now that also [it is] in you.

6 That's why I want to remind you to revitalize God's gracious gift to you which you received when I placed my hands on you.

For this reason I remind you to kindle anew the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of the hands of mine;

7 God didn't give us a spirit that makes us fearful, but a spirit of power and love and good sense.

Not for has given us God a spirit of cowardice but of power and of love and of self-control.

8 So don't be ashamed to tell others about our Lord, or be ashamed of me. Instead be ready to share in suffering for the good news as God gives you strength.

Not therefore you may be ashamed of the testimony of the Lord of us nor of me myself the prisoner of Him, but do suffer together for the gospel according to [the] power of God

9 He is the one who has saved us and called us to live a holy life—not through what we do, but by God's own plan and through his grace. (aiōnios g166)

the [One who] having saved us and having called [us] with a calling holy, not according to the works of us but according to [His] own purpose and grace which having been given us in Christ Jesus before time eternal, (aiōnios g166)

10 He gave this grace to us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, and is now revealed in the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus. He destroyed death, making life and immortality brilliantly clear through the good news.

having been made manifest also now through the appearing of the Savior of us Christ Jesus, having abolished indeed death, having brought to light however life and immortality through the gospel,

11 I was appointed speaker, apostle, and teacher of this good news.

to which was appointed I myself a herald and an apostle and a teacher (of gentiles; *KO*)

12 That's also the reason I'm suffering all this, but I'm not ashamed, because I know whom I've trusted. I'm confident that he can look after what I've entrusted to him until the Day he returns.

For this reason also these things I suffer, But not I am ashamed; I know for in whom I have believed and I have been persuaded that able He is the entrusted deposit of mine to guard for that [very] day.

13 You should follow the model of good advice that you learned from me, with an attitude of trust and love in Christ Jesus.

[The] pattern do retain of sound words which from me you did hear in [the] faith and love that [are] in Christ Jesus;

14 Guard the truth that was entrusted to you through the Holy Spirit who lives in us.

The good (entrusted deposit *N(k)O*) do keep through [the] Spirit Holy who is dwelling in us.

15 You already know that everyone from Asia has abandoned me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.

You know this, that turned away from me all those in Asia, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

16 May the Lord be kind to the family of Onesiphorus, because he often took care of me and wasn't embarrassed about me being in prison.

would grant mercy the Lord to the of Onesiphorus household; because often me he refreshed and the chain of mine not (he was ashamed of, *N(k)O*)

17 When he was in Rome, he took the trouble to search for me, and he found me.

But having arrived in Rome (earnestly *N(k)O*) he sought out me and found [me];

18 May the Lord grant him his blessing in the Day of Judgment. (Timothy, you're very much aware of how much Onesiphorus did for me when he was in Ephesus.)

would grant unto him the Lord to find mercy from [the] Lord in that [very] day! And how much in Ephesus he served very well you yourself know.
