2 Timothy 1

1 From Paul who, by the will of God, is an apostle of Christ Jesus, charged to proclaim the life that comes from union with Christ Jesus,

PABLO, apóstol de Jesucristo por la voluntad de Dios, según la promesa de la vida que es en Cristo Jesús,

2 to Timothy, my dear child: may God, the Father, and Christ Jesus, our Lord, bless you, and be merciful to you, and give you peace.

A Timoteo, amado hijo: Gracia, misericordia, [y] paz de Dios el Padre y de Jesucristo nuestro Señor.

3 I am thankful to God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, when I remember you, as I never fail to do, in my prayers – night and day alike,

Doy gracias á Dios, al cual sirvo desde mis mayores con limpia conciencia, de que sin cesar tengo memoria de ti en mis oraciones noche y día;

4 as I think of your tears, longing to see you, that my happiness may be completed,

Deseando verte, acordándome de tus lágrimas, para ser lleno de gozo;

5 now that I have been reminded of the sincere faith that you have shown. That faith was seen first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and is now, I am convinced, in you also.

Trayendo á la memoria la fe no fingida que hay en ti, la cual residió primero en tu abuela Loida, y en tu madre Eunice; y estoy cierto que en ti también.

6 And that is my reason for reminding you to stir into flame that gift of God, which is yours through your ordination at my hands.

Por lo cual te aconsejo que despiertes el don de Dios, que está en ti por la imposición de mis manos.

7 For the Spirit which God gave us was not a spirit of cowardice, but a spirit of power, love, and self-control.

Porque no nos ha dado Dios el espíritu de temor, sino [el] de fortaleza, y de amor, y de templanza.

8 Do not, therefore, be ashamed of the testimony which we have to bear to our Lord, or of me imprisoned for his sake; but join with me in suffering for the good news, as far as God enables you.

Por tanto no te avergüences del testimonio de nuestro Señor, ni de mí, preso suyo; antes sé participante de los trabajos del evangelio según la virtud de Dios,

9 It was God who saved us, and from him we received our solemn call – not as a reward for anything that we had done, but in fulfilment of his own loving purpose. For that love was extended to us, through Christ Jesus, before time began, (aiōnios g166)

Que nos salvó y llamó con vocación santa, no conforme á nuestras obras, mas según el intento suyo y gracia, la cual nos es dada en Cristo Jesús antes de los tiempos de los siglos, (aiōnios g166)

10 and has now been made apparent through the appearing of our Saviour, Christ Jesus; who has made an end of death, and has brought life and immortality to light by that good news,

Mas ahora es manifestada por la aparición de nuestro Salvador Jesucristo, el cual quitó la muerte, y sacó á la luz la vida y la inmortalidad por el evangelio;

11 of which I was myself appointed a herald, apostle, and teacher.

Del cual yo soy puesto predicador, y apóstol, y maestro de los Gentiles.

12 That is why I am undergoing these sufferings; yet I feel no shame, for I know in whom I have put my faith, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.

Por lo cual asimismo padezco esto: mas no me avergüenzo; porque yo sé á quien he creído, y estoy cierto que es poderoso para guardar mi depósito para aquel día.

13 Keep before you, as an example of sound teaching, all that you learnt from me as you listened with that faith and love which come from union with Christ Jesus.

Retén la forma de las sanas palabras que de mí oíste, en la fe y amor que es en Cristo Jesús.

14 Guard by the help of the Holy Spirit, who is within us, the glorious trust that has been committed to you.

Guarda el buen depósito por el Espíritu Santo que habita en nosotros.

15 You know, of course, that all our friends in Roman Asia turned their backs on me, including Phygellus and Hermogenes.

[Ya] sabes esto, que me han sido contrarios todos los que son en Asia, de los cuales son Figello y Hermógenes.

16 May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus; for he often cheered me and was not ashamed of my chains.

Dé el Señor misericordia á la casa de Onesíforo; que muchas veces me refrigeró, y no se avergonzó de mi cadena:

17 On the contrary, when he arrived in Rome, he sought eagerly for me until he found me.

Antes, estando él en Roma, me buscó solícitamente, y me halló.

18 The Lord grant that he may find mercy at the hands of the Lord on that day. The many services that he rendered at Ephesus you have the best means of knowing.

Déle el Señor que halle misericordia cerca del Señor en aquel día. Y cuánto [nos] ayudó en Efeso, tú lo sabes mejor.
