Προς Τιμοθεον Β΄ 1
1 παυλος αποστολος ιησου χριστου δια θεληματος θεου κατ επαγγελιαν ζωης της εν χριστω ιησου
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God according to the promise of life that is in Christ Jesus,
2 τιμοθεω αγαπητω τεκνω χαρις ελεος ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος και χριστου ιησου του κυριου ημων
to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 χαριν εχω τω θεω ω λατρευω απο προγονων εν καθαρα συνειδησει ως αδιαλειπτον εχω την περι σου μνειαν εν ταις δεησεσιν μου νυκτος και ημερας
I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience as my forefathers did, as night and day I constantly remember yoʋ in my prayers.
4 επιποθων σε ιδειν μεμνημενος σου των δακρυων ινα χαρας πληρωθω
Recalling yoʋr tears, I long to see yoʋ so that I may be filled with joy.
5 υπομνησιν λαμβανων της εν σοι ανυποκριτου πιστεως ητις ενωκησεν πρωτον εν τη μαμμη σου λωιδι και τη μητρι σου ευνεικη πεπεισμαι δε οτι και εν σοι
I am reminded of the sincere faith that is in yoʋ, which dwelt first in yoʋr grandmother Lois and in yoʋr mother Eunice, and now, I am sure, dwells in yoʋ also.
6 δι ην αιτιαν αναμιμνησκω σε αναζωπυρειν το χαρισμα του θεου ο εστιν εν σοι δια της επιθεσεως των χειρων μου
Therefore I remind yoʋ to rekindle the gift of God that is in yoʋ through the laying on of my hands.
7 ου γαρ εδωκεν ημιν ο θεος πνευμα δειλιας αλλα δυναμεως και αγαπης και σωφρονισμου
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, love, and sound judgment.
8 μη ουν επαισχυνθης το μαρτυριον του κυριου ημων μηδε εμε τον δεσμιον αυτου αλλα συγκακοπαθησον τω ευαγγελιω κατα δυναμιν θεου
Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel as you rely on the power of God.
9 του σωσαντος ημας και καλεσαντος κλησει αγια ου κατα τα εργα ημων αλλα κατ ιδιαν προθεσιν και χαριν την δοθεισαν ημιν εν χριστω ιησου προ χρονων αιωνιων (aiōnios g166)
He saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace. This grace was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, (aiōnios g166)
10 φανερωθεισαν δε νυν δια της επιφανειας του σωτηρος ημων ιησου χριστου καταργησαντος μεν τον θανατον φωτισαντος δε ζωην και αφθαρσιαν δια του ευαγγελιου
but has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
11 εις ο ετεθην εγω κηρυξ και αποστολος και διδασκαλος εθνων
For this gospel I was appointed to be a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12 δι ην αιτιαν και ταυτα πασχω αλλ ουκ επαισχυνομαι οιδα γαρ ω πεπιστευκα και πεπεισμαι οτι δυνατος εστιν την παραθηκην μου φυλαξαι εις εκεινην την ημεραν
That is why I am suffering these things. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard what has been entrusted to me until that day.
13 υποτυπωσιν εχε υγιαινοντων λογων ων παρ εμου ηκουσας εν πιστει και αγαπη τη εν χριστω ιησου
Hold to the pattern of sound teaching that yoʋ have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
14 την καλην παρακαταθηκην φυλαξον δια πνευματος αγιου του ενοικουντος εν ημιν
By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit that has been entrusted to yoʋ.
15 οιδας τουτο οτι απεστραφησαν με παντες οι εν τη ασια ων εστιν φυγελλος και ερμογενης
Yoʋ know that everyone in Asia has turned away from me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 δωη ελεος ο κυριος τω ονησιφορου οικω οτι πολλακις με ανεψυξεν και την αλυσιν μου ουκ επησχυνθη
May the Lord give mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains.
17 αλλα γενομενος εν ρωμη σπουδαιοτερον εζητησεν με και ευρεν
On the contrary, when he arrived in Rome, he sought me out very diligently and found me.
18 δωη αυτω ο κυριος ευρειν ελεος παρα κυριου εν εκεινη τη ημερα και οσα εν εφεσω διηκονησεν βελτιον συ γινωσκεις
May the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on that day! Yoʋ know very well all the ways he helped me in Ephesus.
