Timotheum Ii 1
1 Paulus apostolus Christi Iesu per voluntatem Dei secundum promissionem vitae quae est in Christo Iesu
Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ 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 Iesu Domino nostro
to Timothy my beloved son, grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 gratias ago Deo cui servio a progenitoribus in conscientia pura quam sine intermissione habeam tui memoriam in orationibus meis nocte ac die
I give thanks to God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience, having remembrance of thee continually in my prayers night and day;
4 desiderans te videre memor lacrimarum tuarum ut gaudio implear
greatly desiring to see thee, (for I remember thy tears, ) that I may be filled with joy:
5 recordationem accipiens eius fidei quae est in te non ficta quae et habitavit primum in avia tua Loide et matre tua Eunice certus sum autem quod et in te
keeping in memory the unfeigned faith, that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice: and I am persuaded that it dwells in thee also;
6 propter quam causam admoneo te ut resuscites gratiam Dei quae est in te per inpositionem manuum mearum
for which cause I remind thee to stir up the gift of God which is in thee through the imposition of my hands.
7 non enim dedit nobis Deus spiritum timoris sed virtutis et dilectionis et sobrietatis
For God hath not given us a spirit of fearfulness, but of vigor, and of love, and of prudence.
8 noli itaque erubescere testimonium Domini nostri neque me vinctum eius sed conlabora evangelio secundum virtutem Dei
Be not therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but bear thy part in the afflictions of the gospel, according to the power of God;
9 qui nos liberavit et vocavit vocatione sancta non secundum opera nostra sed secundum propositum suum et gratiam quae data est nobis in Christo Iesu ante tempora saecularia (aiōnios g166)
who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose, and grace bestowed upon us through Christ Jesus, before the world was, (aiōnios g166)
10 manifestata est autem nunc per inluminationem salvatoris nostri Iesu Christi qui destruxit quidem mortem inluminavit autem vitam et incorruptionem per evangelium
but now made manifest by the appearance of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light by the gospel: for which I was appointed an herald,
11 in quo positus sum ego praedicator et apostolus et magister gentium
and an apostle, and a teacher of the gentiles:
12 ob quam causam etiam haec patior sed non confundor scio enim cui credidi et certus sum quia potens est depositum meum servare in illum diem
for which cause also I suffer these things; but I am not ashamed: for I know in whom I have trusted, and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him against that day.
13 formam habe sanorum verborum quae a me audisti in fide et dilectione in Christo Iesu
Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 bonum depositum custodi per Spiritum Sanctum qui habitat in nobis
The good thing committed to thee keep, through the Holy Spirit which dwelleth in us.
15 scis hoc quod aversi sunt a me omnes qui in Asia sunt ex quibus est Phygelus et Hermogenes
Thou knowest that all those of Asia are turned from me, of whom is Phygellus and Hermogenes.
16 det misericordiam Dominus Onesifori domui quia saepe me refrigeravit et catenam meam non erubuit
The Lord shew mercy to the family of Onesiphorus; for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain: but when he was at Rome,
17 sed cum Romam venisset sollicite me quaesivit et invenit
he sought for me the more diligently, and found me.
18 det illi Dominus invenire misericordiam a Domino in illa die et quanta Ephesi ministravit melius tu nosti
(The Lord grant that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day!) And how much he ministered to me at Ephesus too, thou knowest full well.
