Chapter 1
1 Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ by God's will, according to promise of life, the [life] which [is] in Christ Jesus,
1:1; 1:1; 3:6; 3:6; 1:2; 1:2; 9:15; 9:15;
2 to Timotheus, [my] beloved child: grace, mercy, peace, from God [the] Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 I am thankful to God, whom I serve from [my] forefathers with pure conscience, how unceasingly I have the remembrance of thee in my supplications night and day,
22:3; 22:3; 23:1; 23:1; 24:14; 24:14; 27:23; 27:23; 1:8; 1:8; 1:9; 1:9; 1:14; 1:14; 1:16; 1:16; 1:2; 1:2; 3:10; 3:10;
4 earnestly desiring to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5 calling to mind the unfeigned faith which [has been] in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that in thee also.
16:1; 16:1; 1:5; 1:5; 4:6; 4:6;
6 For which cause I put thee in mind to rekindle the gift of God which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
7 For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, and of love, and of wise discretion.
24:49; 24:49; 1:8; 1:8; 8:15; 8:15;
8 Be not therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but suffer evil along with the glad tidings, according to the power of God;
1:16; 1:16; 3:1; 3:1; 1:7; 1:7; 1:24; 1:24; 2:6; 2:6; 4:5; 4:5; 1:2; 1:2;
9 who has saved us, and has called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to [his] own purpose and grace, which [was] given to us in Christ Jesus before [the] ages of time,
3:20; 3:20; 8:28; 8:28; 9:11; 9:11; 16:25; 16:25; 1:4; 1:4; 3:11; 3:11; 4:7; 4:7; 1:1; 1:1; 1:2; 1:2; 3:4; 3:4; 3:5; 3:5; 3:1; 3:1; 1:20; 1:20;
10 but has been made manifest now by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who has annulled death, and brought to light life and incorruptibility by the glad tidings;
16:26; 16:26; 15:54; 15:54; 15:55; 15:55; 1:9; 1:9; 1:26; 1:26; 1:3; 1:3; 2:14; 2:14; 1:20; 1:20;
11 to which I have been appointed a herald and apostle and teacher of [the] nations.
9:15; 9:15; 3:7; 3:7; 3:8; 3:8; 2:7; 2:7; 4:17; 4:17;
12 For which cause also I suffer these things; but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep for that day the deposit I have entrusted to him.
3:1; 3:1; 6:20; 6:20; 1:18; 1:18; 2:9; 2:9; 4:8; 4:8; 4:19; 4:19;
13 Have an outline of sound words, which [words] thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which [are] in Christ Jesus.
2:20; 2:20; 6:17; 6:17; 1:14; 1:14; 2:2; 2:2; 3:14; 3:14; 1:9; 1:9; 10:23; 10:23; 2:25; 2:25;
14 Keep, by the Holy Spirit which dwells in us, the good deposit entrusted.
15 Thou knowest this, that all who [are] in Asia, of whom is Phygellus and Hermogenes, have turned away from me.
19:10; 19:10; 4:10; 4:10; 4:16; 4:16;
16 The Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he has often refreshed me, and has not been ashamed of my chain;
5:7; 5:7; 28:20; 28:20; 6:20; 6:20; 1:8; 1:8; 4:19; 4:19; 1:7; 1:7;
17 but being in Rome sought me out very diligently, and found [me]
18 the Lord grant to him to find mercy from [the] Lord in that day and how much service he rendered in Ephesus *thou* knowest best.
