Mula kay Pablo na apostol ni Cristo Jesus ayon sa kalooban ng Dios. Sinugo ako ng Dios para ipahayag ang tungkol sa buhay na ipinangako niyang makakamtan nating mga nakay Cristo Jesus.

Timoteo, minamahal kong anak:

Sumaiyo nawa ang biyaya, awa at kapayapaang galing sa Dios Ama at kay Cristo Jesus na ating Panginoon.

Pasasalamat sa Dios at Paalala kay Timoteo

Nagpapasalamat ako sa Dios na pinaglilingkuran ko nang may malinis na konsensya, tulad ng ginawa ng mga ninuno ko. Nagpapasalamat ako sa kanya sa tuwing inaalala kita sa panalangin araw at gabi. Kapag naaalala ko ang pag-iyak mo noong umalis ako, kaya nasasabik akong makita ka para maging lubos ang kagalakan ko. Hindi ko makakalimutan ang tapat mong pananampalataya tulad ng nasa iyong Lola Luisa at ng iyong inang si Eunice, at natitiyak kong nasa iyo rin ngayon. Dahil dito, pinaaalalahanan kita na lalo ka pang maging masigasig sa paggamit ng kakayahang ipinagkaloob sa iyo ng Dios, na tinanggap mo nang patungan kita ng kamay. Sapagkat hindi tayo binigyan ng Dios ng espiritu ng kaduwagan, kundi espiritu ng kapangyarihan, pag-ibig, at disiplina sa sarili.

Kaya huwag kang mahihiyang magpatotoo tungkol sa ating Panginoon o tungkol sa akin na bilanggo dahil sa kanya. Sa halip, sa tulong ng Dios, makibahagi ka sa mga paghihirap dahil sa Magandang Balita. Iniligtas at tinawag tayo ng Dios para maging kanya, hindi dahil sa ating mga gawa kundi ayon sa layunin at biyaya na ibinigay sa atin ni Cristo Jesus bago pa nagsimula ang mundo. 10 Ngunit nahayag lang ito nang dumating si Cristo Jesus na ating Tagapagligtas. Tinanggalan niya ng kapangyarihan ang kamatayan at ipinahayag sa atin ang buhay na walang hanggan sa pamamagitan ng Magandang Balita.

11 Pinili ako ng Dios na maging apostol at guro para ipahayag ang Magandang Balitang ito. 12 Ito ang dahilan kaya ako dumaranas ng mga paghihirap. Ngunit hindi ko ito ikinakahiya, dahil kilala ko kung sino ang sinasampalatayanan ko at natitiyak kong maiingatan niya hanggang sa huling araw ang ipinagkatiwala ko sa kanya.[a] 13 Ituro mo ang tamang aral na natutunan mo sa akin, nang may pananampalataya at pag-ibig dahil ito ang karapat-dapat gawin ng mga nakay Cristo Jesus. 14 Sa tulong ng Banal na Espiritu na nasa atin, ingatan mo ang tamang aral na ipinagkatiwala ko sa iyo.

15 Alam mong tinalikuran ako ng halos lahat ng mga kapatid sa probinsya ng Asia, pati na sina Figelus at Hermogenes. 16 Kaawaan sana ng Dios si Onesiforus at ang pamilya niya, dahil lagi niya akong tinutulungan,[b] at hindi niya ako ikinahiya kahit na akoʼy isang bilanggo. 17 Sa katunayan, nang dumating siya sa Roma, sinikap niya akong hanapin hanggang sa matagpuan niya ako. 18 At alam na alam mo kung paano niya ako tinulungan noong nasa Efeso ako. Kaawaan sana siya ng Panginoon sa Araw ng Paghuhukom.

Greeting

Paul, (A)an apostle of Christ Jesus (B)by the will of God according to (C)the promise of the life that is in Christ Jesus,

To Timothy, (D)my beloved child:

(E)Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Guard the Deposit Entrusted to You

(F)I thank God (G)whom I serve, as did my ancestors, (H)with a clear conscience, as I remember you (I)constantly in my prayers night and day. (J)As I remember your tears, (K)I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy. I am reminded of (L)your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and (M)your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well. For this reason I remind you (N)to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us (O)a spirit not of fear but (P)of power and love and self-control.

Therefore (Q)do not be ashamed of (R)the testimony about our Lord, nor of (S)me his prisoner, but (T)share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, (U)who saved us and (V)called us to[a] a holy calling, (W)not because of our works but because of (X)his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus (Y)before the ages began,[b] 10 and which now has (Z)been manifested through (AA)the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, (AB)who abolished death and (AC)brought life and (AD)immortality to light through the gospel, 11 (AE)for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher, 12 (AF)which is why I suffer as I do. But (AG)I am not ashamed, for (AH)I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until (AI)that day (AJ)what has been entrusted to me.[c] 13 (AK)Follow (AL)the pattern of (AM)the sound[d] words (AN)that you have heard from me, in (AO)the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 14 By the Holy Spirit (AP)who dwells within us, guard (AQ)the good deposit entrusted to you.

15 You are aware that (AR)all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. 16 May the Lord grant mercy to (AS)the household of Onesiphorus, for he often (AT)refreshed me and was not ashamed of (AU)my chains, 17 but when he arrived in Rome (AV)he searched for me earnestly and found me— 18 may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on (AW)that day!—and you well know all the service he (AX)rendered at Ephesus.

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

To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

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;

Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;

When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

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.

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

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;

Who hath saved us, and called us with an 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.

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 Phygellus and Hermogenes.

16 The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; 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.
