Προς Τιμοθεον Β΄ 1

1 παυλος αποστολος χριστου ιησου δια θεληματος θεου κατ επαγγελιαν ζωης της εν χριστω ιησου

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

2 τιμοθεω αγαπητω τεκνω χαρις ελεος ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος και χριστου ιησου του κυριου ημων

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

3 χαριν εχω τω θεω ω λατρευω απο προγονων εν καθαρα συνειδησει ως αδιαλειπτον εχω την περι σου μνειαν εν ταις δεησεσιν μου νυκτος και ημερας

I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers, with a clean conscience, as I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day.

4 επιποθων σε ιδειν μεμνημενος σου των δακρυων ινα χαρας πληρωθω

As I remember your tears, I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy.

5 υπομνησιν λαβων της εν σοι ανυποκριτου πιστεως ητις ενωκησεν πρωτον εν τη μαμμη σου λωιδι και τη μητρι σου ευνικη πεπεισμαι δε οτι και εν σοι

I have been reminded of your genuine faith, which lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am convinced that it lives in you also.

6 δι ην αιτιαν αναμιμνησκω σε αναζωπυρειν το χαρισμα του θεου ο εστιν εν σοι δια της επιθεσεως των χειρων μου

This is the reason I am reminding you to rekindle the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

7 ου γαρ εδωκεν ημιν ο θεος πνευμα δειλιας αλλα δυναμεως και αγαπης και σωφρονισμου

For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and discipline.

8 μη ουν επαισχυνθης το μαρτυριον του κυριου ημων μηδε εμε τον δεσμιον αυτου αλλα συγκακοπαθησον τω ευαγγελιω κατα δυναμιν θεου

So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me, Paul, his prisoner. Instead, share in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God.

9 του σωσαντος ημας και καλεσαντος κλησει αγια ου κατα τα εργα ημων αλλα κατα ιδιαν προθεσιν και χαριν την δοθεισαν ημιν εν χριστω ιησου προ χρονων αιωνιων (aiōnios g166)

It is God who saved us and called us with a holy calling. He did this, not according to our works, but according to his own plan and grace. He gave us these things in Christ Jesus before times ever began. (aiōnios g166)

10 φανερωθεισαν δε νυν δια της επιφανειας του σωτηρος ημων χριστου ιησου καταργησαντος μεν τον θανατον φωτισαντος δε ζωην και αφθαρσιαν δια του ευαγγελιου

But now God's salvation has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus. It is Christ who put an end to death and brought life that never ends to light through the gospel.

11 εις ο ετεθην εγω κηρυξ και αποστολος και διδασκαλος

Because of this, I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher.

12 δι ην αιτιαν και ταυτα πασχω αλλ ουκ επαισχυνομαι οιδα γαρ ω πεπιστευκα και πεπεισμαι οτι δυνατος εστιν την παραθηκην μου φυλαξαι εις εκεινην την ημεραν

For this cause I also suffer these things. But I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed. I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have entrusted to him until that day.

13 υποτυπωσιν εχε υγιαινοντων λογων ων παρ εμου ηκουσας εν πιστει και αγαπη τη εν χριστω ιησου

Keep the example of faithful messages that you heard from me, with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

14 την καλην παραθηκην φυλαξον δια πνευματος αγιου του ενοικουντος εν ημιν

The good thing that God committed to you, guard it through the Holy Spirit, who lives in us.

15 οιδας τουτο οτι απεστραφησαν με παντες οι εν τη ασια ων εστιν φυγελος και ερμογενης

You know this, that all who live in Asia turned away from me. In this group are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

16 δωη ελεος ο κυριος τω ονησιφορου οικω οτι πολλακις με ανεψυξεν και την αλυσιν μου ουκ επαισχυνθη

May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chain.

17 αλλα γενομενος εν ρωμη σπουδαιως εζητησεν με και ευρεν

Instead, when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and he found me.

18 δωη αυτω ο κυριος ευρειν ελεος παρα κυριου εν εκεινη τη ημερα και οσα εν εφεσω διηκονησεν βελτιον συ γινωσκεις

May the Lord grant to him to find mercy from him on that day. All the ways he helped me in Ephesus, you know very well.
