2 Timoteo 1
La Biblia de las Américas

Saludo

1 Pablo, apóstol(A) de Cristo Jesús(B) por la voluntad de Dios(C), según la promesa de vida en Cristo Jesús(D), 2 a Timoteo(E), amado hijo(F): Gracia(G), misericordia y paz de parte de Dios Padre y de Cristo Jesús nuestro Señor.

Fidelidad y dinamismo en el servicio cristiano

3 Doy gracias a Dios(H), a quien sirvo(I) con limpia conciencia(J) como lo hicieron mis antepasados[a], de que sin cesar, noche y día, me acuerdo de ti en mis oraciones[b](K), 4 deseando verte(L), al acordarme de tus lágrimas(M), para llenarme de alegría. 5 Porque tengo presente[c] la fe sincera[d] que hay en ti, la cual habitó primero en tu abuela Loida(N) y en tu madre Eunice(O), y estoy seguro que en ti también. 6 Por lo cual te recuerdo que avives el fuego del don de Dios que hay en ti por la imposición de mis manos(P). 7 Porque no nos ha dado Dios espíritu de cobardía(Q), sino de poder, de amor y de dominio propio[e]. 8 Por tanto, no te avergüences(R) del testimonio de nuestro Señor(S), ni de mí, prisionero suyo(T), sino participa conmigo en las aflicciones(U) por el evangelio, según el poder de Dios(V), 9 quien nos ha salvado(W) y nos ha llamado(X) con un llamamiento santo(Y), no según nuestras obras(Z), sino según su propósito(AA) y según la gracia que nos fue dada en Cristo Jesús(AB) desde la eternidad[f](AC), 10 y que ahora ha sido manifestada(AD) por la aparición de nuestro Salvador(AE) Cristo Jesús(AF), quien abolió la muerte(AG) y sacó a la luz la vida y la inmortalidad por medio del evangelio, 11 para el cual[g] yo fui constituido predicador[h], apóstol y maestro(AH). 12 Por lo cual también sufro estas cosas, pero no me avergüenzo(AI); porque yo sé en quién he creído, y estoy convencido de que es poderoso(AJ) para guardar mi depósito[i](AK) hasta[j] aquel día(AL). 13 Retén(AM) la norma[k](AN) de las sanas palabras(AO) que has oído de mí(AP), en la fe y el amor(AQ) en Cristo Jesús(AR). 14 Guarda, mediante el Espíritu Santo que habita en nosotros(AS), el tesoro que te ha sido encomendado[l](AT).

15 Ya sabes esto, que todos los que están en Asia[m](AU) me han vuelto la espalda(AV), entre los cuales están Figelo y Hermógenes. 16 Conceda el Señor misericordia a la casa de Onesíforo(AW), porque muchas veces me dio refrigerio y no se avergonzó(AX) de mis cadenas[n](AY), 17 antes bien, cuando estuvo en Roma, me buscó con afán y me halló; 18 que el Señor le conceda hallar misericordia del Señor en aquel día(AZ). Además, los servicios que prestó en Efeso(BA), tú lo sabes mejor.

2 Timothy 1
New English Translation

Salutation

1 From Paul,[a] an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, to further the promise[b] of life in Christ Jesus, 2 to Timothy, my dear child. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!

Thanksgiving and Charge to Timothy

3 I am thankful to God, whom I have served with a clear conscience as my ancestors did,[c] when I remember you in my prayers as I do constantly night and day.[d] 4 As I remember your tears, I long to see you,[e] so that I may be filled with joy. 5 I recall[f] your sincere faith[g] that was alive first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and I am sure[h] is in you.

6 Because of this I remind you to rekindle God’s gift that you possess[i] through the laying on of my hands. 7 For God did not give us a Spirit[j] of fear but of power and love and self-control. 8 So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord[k] or of me, a prisoner for his sake, but by[l] God’s power accept your share of suffering[m] for the gospel. 9 He is the one who saved us[n] and called us with a holy calling, not based on[o] our works but on his own purpose and grace, granted to us in Christ Jesus before time began,[p] 10 but now made visible through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus. He[q] has broken the power of death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel! 11 For this gospel[r] I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher.[s] 12 Because of this, in fact, I suffer as I do.[t] But I am not ashamed, because I know the one in whom my faith is set[u] and I am convinced that he is able to protect what has been entrusted to me[v] until that day.[w] 13 Hold to the standard[x] of sound words that you heard from me and do so with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.[y] 14 Protect that good thing[z] entrusted to you, through the Holy Spirit who lives within us.

15 You know that everyone in the province of Asia[aa] deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes. 16 May the Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my imprisonment.[ab] 17 But when he arrived in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me. 18 May the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on that day![ac] And you know very well all the ways he served me in Ephesus.[ad]

Footnotes

  1. 2 Timothy 1:1 tn Grk “Paul.” The word “from” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied to indicate the sender of the letter.
  2. 2 Timothy 1:1 tn Grk “for the promise…” or possibly “in accordance with the promise…”
  3. 2 Timothy 1:3 tn Grk “from my ancestors.”
  4. 2 Timothy 1:3 tn Or “as I do constantly. By night and day I long to see you…”
  5. 2 Timothy 1:4 tn Grk “longing to see you, remembering your tears” (as a continuation of the preceding clause). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
  6. 2 Timothy 1:5 tn Grk “recalling” (as a continuation of the preceding clause). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
  7. 2 Timothy 1:5 tn Grk “the sincere faith in you.”
  8. 2 Timothy 1:5 tn Or “convinced.”
  9. 2 Timothy 1:6 tn Grk “that is in you.”
  10. 2 Timothy 1:7 tn Or “a spirit,” denoting the human personality under the Spirit’s influence as in 1 Cor 4:21; Gal 6:1; 1 Pet 3:4. But the reference to the Holy Spirit at the end of this section (1:14) makes it likely that it begins this way also, so that the Holy Spirit is the referent.
  11. 2 Timothy 1:8 tn Grk “the testimony of our Lord.”
  12. 2 Timothy 1:8 tn Or “according to.”
  13. 2 Timothy 1:8 tn Grk “suffer hardship together,” implying “join with me in suffering.”
  14. 2 Timothy 1:9 tn More literally, “who saved us,” as a description of God in v. 8. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.
  15. 2 Timothy 1:9 tn Or “according to,” or “by.”
  16. 2 Timothy 1:9 tn Grk “before eternal times.”
  17. 2 Timothy 1:10 tn Grk “having broken…and having brought…” (describing Christ). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here (and at the beginning of v. 11) in the translation.
  18. 2 Timothy 1:11 tn Grk “for which.”
  19. 2 Timothy 1:11 tc Most mss (א2 C D F G Ψ 1241 1505 1739 1881 M al latt sy co) have ἐθνῶν (ethnōn, “of the Gentiles”) after “teacher” (διδάσκαλος [didaskalos ]). The shorter reading has poorer external credentials (א* A I 1175), though codex 33 has a reading apparently generated from διδάσκαλος alone (διάκονος (diakonos, “servant”]). The “teacher” without adjunct is preferred both because ἐθνῶν probably represents a gloss added by scribes familiar with 1 Tim 2:7 and because there is no easy explanation for the omission of ἐθνῶν if it were original here.
  20. 2 Timothy 1:12 tn Grk “suffer these things.”
  21. 2 Timothy 1:12 tn Or “in whom I have believed.”
  22. 2 Timothy 1:12 sn What has been entrusted to me (Grk “my entrustment,” meaning either (1) “what I have entrusted to him” [his life, destiny, etc.] or (2) “what he has entrusted to me” [the truth of the gospel]). The parallel with v. 14 and use of similar words in the pastorals (1 Tim 6:20; 2 Tim 2:2) argue for the latter sense.
  23. 2 Timothy 1:12 sn That day is a reference to the day when Paul would stand before Christ to give account for his service (cf. 2 Tim 1:18; 1 Cor 3:13; 2 Cor 5:9-10).
  24. 2 Timothy 1:13 tn Or “pattern.”
  25. 2 Timothy 1:13 tn Grk “in faith and love in Christ Jesus.”sn With the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. This describes the manner in which Timothy must hold to the standard (similar to Paul’s call for him to give attention to his life and his teaching in 1 Tim 4:11-16).
  26. 2 Timothy 1:14 sn That good thing (Grk “the good deposit”) refers to the truth of the gospel committed to Timothy (cf. 1 Tim 6:20).
  27. 2 Timothy 1:15 tn Grk “Asia”; in the NT this always refers to the Roman province of Asia. The Roman province of Asia made up about one-third of modern Asia Minor and was on the western side of it. Asia lay to the west of the region of Phrygia and Galatia. The words “the province of” are supplied to indicate to the modern reader that this does not refer to the continent of Asia.
  28. 2 Timothy 1:16 tn Grk “my chain.”
  29. 2 Timothy 1:18 sn That day is a reference to the day when Onesiphorus (v. 16) stands before Christ to give account for his service (cf. v. 12; 1 Cor 3:13; 2 Cor 5:9-10).
  30. 2 Timothy 1:18 tn Grk “all the ways he served in Ephesus.”
