The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle toTimothy
Timothy 1
Salutation | |
1 |
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, |
2 |
¶ To Timothy, Acts 16.1 my dearly beloved son: ¶ Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. |
Be Not Ashamed | |
3 |
¶ I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day; |
4 |
greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy; |
5 |
when I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Acts 16.1 Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also. |
6 |
Wherefore I put thee in remembrance, that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. |
7 |
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. |
8 |
¶ Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; |
9 |
who hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began; |
10 |
but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: |
11 |
whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. 1 Tim. 2.7 |
12 |
For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. |
13 |
Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. |
14 |
That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us. |
15 |
¶ This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygel’lus and Hermog’enes. |
16 |
The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiph’orus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain: |
17 |
but, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me. |
18 |
The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well. |
