II Timothy Capítulo 1

1 : 1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the promise of the life in Christ Jesus,

1 : 2 to Timothy, a beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

1 : 3 I have gratitude to God whom I serve from the forefathers in a pure conscience, as I have unceasing remembrance about thee in my supplications, night and day

1 : 4 longing to see thee, having remembered thy tears, so that I may be filled with joy,

1 : 5 taking memory of the non-hypocritical faith in thee, which first dwelt in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that is in thee also.

1 : 6 Because of which reason I remind thee to rekindle the gift of God that is in thee through the laying on of my hands.

1 : 7 For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, and of love, and of soberness.

1 : 8 Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord nor of me his prisoner, but suffer together with the good news according to the power of God.

1 : 9 Who saved us and who 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.

1 : 10 But which has now been manifested by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who indeed abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the good news,

1 : 11 for which I was appointed a herald, and an apostle, and a teacher of Gentiles.

1 : 12 Because of which reason I also suffer these things. But I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to preserve my consignment for that day.

1 : 13 Hold the pattern of sound words that thou heard from me, in faith and love in Christ Jesus.

1 : 14 Guard the good consignment through the Holy Spirit that dwells in us.

1 : 15 This thou know, that all those in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

1 : 16 May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chain.

1 : 17 But when he happened to be in Rome he sought me more diligently and found me

1 : 18 (may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord in that day), and in how many things he ministered at Ephesus, thou know very well.
