2 Timothy 1


Guard the Treasure Entrusted to You

Paul, aan apostle of bChrist Jesus 1cby the will of God, according to the promise of dlife in Christ Jesus,

2 To aTimothy, my beloved bchild: cGrace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3 aI am grateful to God, whom I bserve with a cclear conscience 1the way my forefathers did, das I unceasingly remember you in my 2prayers night and day,
4 alonging to see you, bhaving remembered your tears, so that I may be filled with joy, 5 1being reminded of the aunhypocritical faith within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and byour mother Eunice, and I am convinced that it is in you as well. 6 For this reason I remind you to kindle afresh athe gift of God which is in you through athe laying on of my hands. 7 For God has not given us a aspirit of 1timidity, but of power and love and 2self-discipline.
8 Therefore ado not be ashamed of either the bwitness about our Lord or me cHis prisoner, but join with me in dsuffering for the egospel according to the power of God,
9 who has asaved us and bcalled us with a holy ccalling, dnot according to our works, but according to His own bpurpose and grace which was given to us in eChrist Jesus from fall eternity, 10 but anow has been manifested by the bappearing of our Savior cChrist Jesus, who dabolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 11 afor which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher. 12 For this reason I also suffer these things, but aI am not ashamed; for I know bwhom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to cguard what I have entrusted to Him 1until dthat day. 13 1aHold to the bstandard of csound words dwhich you have heard from me, in the efaith and love which are in fChrist Jesus. 14 Guard, through the Holy Spirit who adwells in us, the 1btreasure which has been entrusted to you.
15 You are aware of this: that all who are in aAsia bturned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 The Lord give mercy to athe house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and bwas not ashamed of my 1cchains, 17 but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me— 18 the Lord 1grant to him to find mercy from the Lord on athat day—and you know very well what services he rendered at bEphesus.
