Second Epistle of St. Paul to Timothy
chapter 1
1
Paul,
an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, according to the promise of
life, which is in Christ Jesus.
2 To Timothy my dearly beloved son, grace, mercy, and
peace, from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 I give thanks to God, whom I serve from my
forefathers with a pure conscience, that without ceasing, I have a remembrance
of thee in my prayers, night and day.
4 Desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears,
that I may be filled with joy,
5 Calling to mind that faith which is in thee
unfeigned, which also dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother
Eunice, and I am certain that in thee also.
6 For which cause I admonish thee, that thou stir up
the grace of God which is in thee, by the imposition of my hands.
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear: but of
power, and of love, and of sobriety.
8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our
Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but labour with the gospel, according to the
power of God,
9 Who hath delivered us and called us by his holy
calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and
grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the times of the world.
10 But is now made manifest by the illumination of our
Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath destroyed death, and hath brought to light life
and incorruption by the gospel:
11 Wherein I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle,
and teacher of the Gentiles.
12 For which cause I also suffer these things: but I am
not ashamed. For I know whom I have believed, and I am certain that he is able
to keep that which I have committed unto him, against that day.
13 Hold the form of sound words, which thou hast heard
of me in faith, and in the love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 Keep the good thing committed to thy trust by the
Holy Ghost, who dwelleth in us.
15 Thou knowest this, that all they who are in Asia,
are turned away from me: of whom are Phigellus and Hermogenes.
16 The Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus:
because he hath often refreshed me, and hath not been ashamed of my chain:
17 But when he was come to Rome, he carefully sought
me, and found me.
18 The Lord grant unto him to find mercy of the Lord in
that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou very
well knowest.
