2 Timothy 1

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, according to a promise of life that [is] in Christ Jesus,

Poul, apostle of Jhesu Crist, bi the wille of God, bi the biheest of lijf that is in Crist Jhesu,

2 to Timotheus, beloved child: Grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!

to Tymothe, his moost dereworthe sone, grace, merci, and pees of God the fadir, and of Jhesu Crist, oure Lord.

3 I am thankful to God, whom I serve from progenitors in a pure conscience, that I unceasingly have remembrance concerning you in my supplications night and day,

I do thankyngis to my God, to whom Y serue fro my progenytouris in clene conscience, that with outen ceessyng Y haue mynde of thee in my preyeris,

4 desiring to see you greatly, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy,

niyt and dai, desirynge to se thee; hauynge mynde of thi teeris, that Y be fillid with ioye.

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.

And Y bithenke of that feith, that is in thee not feyned, which also dwellide firste in thin aunte Loide, and in thi modir Eunyce. And Y am certeyn, that also in thee.

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,

For which cause Y moneste thee, that thou reise ayen the grace of God, that is in thee bi the settyng on of myn hondis.

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

For whi God yaf not to vs the spirit of drede, but of vertu, and of loue, and of sobrenesse.

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,

Therfor nyl thou schame the witnessyng of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, nether me, his prisoner; but trauele thou togidere in the gospel bi the vertu of God;

9 who saved us, and called with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, that was given to us in Christ Jesus, before the times of the ages, (aiōnios g166)

that delyueride vs, and clepide with his hooli clepyng, not after oure werkis, but bi his purpos and grace, that is youun in Crist Jhesu bifore worldli tymes; (aiōnios g166)

10 and was made visible now through the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who indeed abolished death, and enlightened life and immortality through the good news,

but now it is opyn bi the liytnyng of oure sauyour Jhesu Crist, which destriede deth, and liytnede lijf and vncorrupcioun bi the gospel.

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

In which Y am set a prechour and apostle, and maistir of hethene men.

12 for which cause these things I also suffer, but I am not ashamed, for I have known in whom I have believed, and have been persuaded that He is able to guard that which I have committed to Him—to that day.

For which cause also Y suffre these thingis; but Y am not confoundid. For Y woot to whom Y haue bileuyd, and Y am certeyne that he is miyti for to kepe that is take to my keping in to that dai.

13 Hold the pattern of sound words, which you heard from me, in faith and love that [is] in Christ Jesus;

Haue thou the fourme of hoolsum wordis, whiche thou herdist of me in feith and loue in Crist Jhesu.

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

Kepe thou the good takun to thi kepyng bi the Hooli Goost, that dwellith in vs.

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

Thou wost this, that alle that ben in Asie ben turnyd awey fro me, of whiche is Figelus and Ermogenes.

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 yyue merci to the hous of Onesyforus, for ofte he refreischide me, and schamyde not my chayne.

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

But whanne he cam to Rome, he souyte me bisili, and foond.

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 yyue to hym to fynde merci of God in that dai. And hou grete thingis he mynystride to me at Effesi, thou knowist betere.
