5 taking remembrance of the unhypocritical faith that is in you, that first dwelt in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that also in you.

calling to mind the unfeigned faith which [has been] in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that in thee also.

6 For which cause I remind you to stir up the gift of God that is in you through the putting on of my hands,

7 for God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind;

For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, and of love, and of wise discretion.

8 therefore you may not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but you suffer evil along with the good news according to the power of God,

Be not therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but suffer evil along with the glad tidings, according to the power of God;

but has been made manifest now by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who has annulled death, and brought to light life and incorruptibility by the glad tidings;

11 to which I was placed a preacher and an apostle, and a teacher of nations,

to which I have been appointed a herald and apostle and teacher of [the] nations.

For which cause also I suffer these things; but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep for that day the deposit I have entrusted to him.

Have an outline of sound words, which [words] thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which [are] in Christ Jesus.

14 guard the good thing committed through the Holy Spirit that is dwelling in us;

Keep, by the Holy Spirit which dwells in us, the good deposit entrusted.

15 you have known this, that they turned from me—all those in Asia, of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes;

16 may the LORD give kindness to the house of Onesiphorus, because he refreshed me many times, and was not ashamed of my chain,

The Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he has often refreshed me, and has not been ashamed of my chain;

17 but being in Rome, he sought me very diligently and found [me];

18 may the LORD give to him to find kindness from the LORD in that day; and you very well know how much he ministered in Ephesus.

the Lord grant to him to find mercy from [the] Lord in that day — and how much service he rendered in Ephesus thou knowest best.
