Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus,
2 Timotheo carissimo filio: gratia, misericordia, pax a Deo Patre, et Christo Jesu Domino nostro.
To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Gratias ago Deo, cui servio a progenitoribus in conscientia pura, quod sine intermissione habeam tui memoriam in orationibus meis, nocte ac die
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.
4 desiderans te videre, memor lacrimarum tuarum, ut gaudio implear,
Recalling your tears, I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy.
5 recordationem accipiens ejus fidei, quæ est in te non ficta, quæ et habitavit primum in avia tua Loide, et matre tua Eunice, certus sum autem quod et in te.
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.
6 Propter quam causam admoneo te ut resuscites gratiam Dei, quæ est in te per impositionem manuum mearum.
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.
7 Non enim dedit nobis Deus spiritum timoris: sed virtutis, et dilectionis, et sobrietatis.
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
8 Noli itaque erubescere testimonium Domini nostri, neque me vinctum ejus: sed collabora Evangelio secundum virtutem Dei:
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.
9 qui nos liberavit, et vocavit vocatione sua sancta, non secundum opera nostra, sed secundum propositum suum, et gratiam, quæ data est nobis in Christo Jesu ante tempora sæcularia. (aiōnios g166)
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)
10 Manifestata est autem nunc per illuminationem Salvatoris nostri Jesu Christi, qui destruxit quidem mortem, illuminavit autem vitam, et incorruptionem per Evangelium:
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,
11 in quo positus sum ego prædicator, et Apostolus, et magister gentium.
to which I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher.
12 Ob quam causam etiam hæc patior, sed non confundor. Scio enim cui credidi, et certus sum quia potens est depositum meum servare in illum diem.
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.
13 Formam habe sanorum verborum, quæ a me audisti in fide, et in dilectione in Christo Jesu.
Hold on to the pattern of sound teaching you have heard from me, with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
14 Bonum depositum custodi per Spiritum Sanctum, qui habitat in nobis.
Guard the treasure entrusted to you, with the help of the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
15 Scis hoc, quod aversi sunt a me omnes, qui in Asia sunt, ex quibus est Phigellus, et Hermogenes.
You know that everyone in the Province of Asia has deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 Det misericordiam Dominus Onesiphori domui: quia sæpe me refrigeravit, et catenam meam non erubuit:
May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he has often refreshed me and was unashamed of my chains.
17 sed cum Romam venisset, sollicite me quæsivit, et invenit.
Indeed, when he arrived in Rome, he searched diligently until he found me.
18 Det illi Dominus invenire misericordiam a Domino in illa die. Et quanta Ephesi ministravit mihi, tu melius nosti.
May the Lord grant Onesiphorus His mercy on that day. You know very well how much he ministered to me in Ephesus.
