Timotheum Ii 1
1 Paulus apostolus Christi Iesu per voluntatem Dei secundum promissionem vitae quae est in Christo Iesu
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 Timotheo carissimo filio gratia misericordia pax a Deo Patre et Christo Iesu Domino nostro
to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and 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 thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers in a pure conscience, how unceasing is my remembrance of thee in my supplications, night and day
4 desiderans te videre memor lacrimarum tuarum ut gaudio implear
longing to see thee, remembering 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
having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in thee; which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and, I am persuaded, in thee also.
6 propter quam causam admoneo te ut resuscites gratiam Dei quae est in te per inpositionem manuum mearum
For the which cause I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee through the laying on of my hands.
7 non enim dedit nobis Deus spiritum timoris sed virtutis et dilectionis et sobrietatis
For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline.
8 noli itaque erubescere testimonium Domini nostri neque me vinctum eius sed conlabora evangelio secundum virtutem Dei
Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but suffer hardship with 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 saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal, (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 hath now been manifested by the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and incorruption to light through the gospel,
11 in quo positus sum ego praedicator et apostolus et magister gentium
whereunto I was appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher.
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 the which cause I suffer also these things: yet I am not ashamed; for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed unto him against that day.
13 formam habe sanorum verborum quae a me audisti in fide et dilectione in Christo Iesu
Hold the pattern 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
That good thing which was committed unto [thee] guard through the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
15 scis hoc quod aversi sunt a me omnes qui in Asia sunt ex quibus est Phygelus et Hermogenes
This thou knowest, that all that are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 det misericordiam Dominus Onesifori domui quia saepe me refrigeravit et catenam meam non erubuit
The Lord grant mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus: for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain;
17 sed cum Romam venisset sollicite me quaesivit et invenit
but, when he was in Rome, he sought me 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 unto him to find mercy of the Lord in that day); and in how many things he ministered at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
