2 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, according to the promise of life, which is in Christ Jesus.
Paulus, Kristi Jesu Apostel ved Guds Villie, for at bringe Forjættelse om Livet i Kristus Jesus
2 To Timothy my dearly beloved son, grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord.
— til Timotheus, sit elskede Barn: Naade, Barmhjertighed og Fred fra Gud Fader og Kristus Jesus, vor Herre!
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.
Jeg takker Gud, hvem jeg fra mine Forfædre af har tjent i en ren Samvittighed, ligesom jeg uafladelig har dig i Erindring i mine Bønner Nat og Dag,
4 Desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy,
da jeg i Mindet om dine Taarer længes efter at se dig, for at jeg maa fyldes med Glæde,
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.
idet jeg er bleven mindet om den uskrømtede Tro, som er i dig, den, som boede først i din Mormoder Lois og din Moder Eunike, og jeg er vis paa, at den ogsaa bor i dig.
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.
Derfor paaminder jeg dig, at du opflammer den Guds Naadegave, som er i dig ved mine Hænders Paalæggelse.
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear: but of power, and of love, and of sobriety.
Thi Gud har ikke givet os Fejgheds Aand, men Krafts og Kærligheds og Sindigheds Aand.
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,
Derfor, skam dig ikke ved Vidnesbyrdet om vor Herre eller ved mig, hans Fange, men lid ondt med Evangeliet ved Guds Kraft,
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. (aiōnios g166)
han, som frelste os og kaldte os med en hellig Kaldelse, ikke efter vore Gerninger, men efter sit eget Forsæt og Naaden, som blev given os i Kristus Jesus fra evige Tider, (aiōnios g166)
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:
men nu er kommen for Dagen ved vor Frelsers Jesu Kristi Aabenbarelse, han, som tilintetgjorde Døden, men bragte Liv og Uforkrænkelighed for Lyset ved Evangeliet,
11 Wherein I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and teacher of the Gentiles.
for hvilket jeg er bleven sat til Prædiker og Apostel og Hedningers Lærer,
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.
hvorfor jeg ogsaa lider dette, men jeg skammer mig ikke derved; thi jeg ved, til hvem jeg har sat min Tro, og jeg er vis paa, at han er mægtig til at vogte paa den mig betroede Skat til hin Dag.
13 Hold the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me in faith, and in the love which is in Christ Jesus.
Hav et Forbillede i de sunde Ord, som du har hørt af mig, i Tro og Kærlighed i Kristus Jesus.
14 Keep the good thing committed to thy trust by the Holy Ghost, who dwelleth in us.
Vogt paa den skønne betroede Skat ved den Helligaand, som bor i os.
15 Thou knowest this, that all they who are in Asia, are turned away from me: of whom are Phigellus and Hermogenes.
Du ved dette, at alle de i Asien have vendt sig fra mig, iblandt hvilke ere Fygelus og 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:
Herren vise Onesiforus's Hus Barmhjertighed; thi han har ofte vederkvæget mig og skammede sig ikke ved min Lænke,
17 But when he was come to Rome, he carefully sought me, and found me.
men da han kom til Rom, søgte han ivrigt efter mig og fandt mig.
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.
Herren give ham at finde Barmhjertighed fra Herren paa hin Dag! Og hvor megen Tjeneste han har gjort i Efesus, ved du bedst.
