2 Timoteo 1
Reina Valera Actualizada
1 Pablo, apóstol de Cristo Jesús por la voluntad de Dios, según la promesa de la vida que es en Cristo Jesús; 2 a Timoteo, amado hijo: Gracia, misericordia y paz de parte de Dios el Padre y de Cristo Jesús nuestro Señor.
No te avergüences de testificar
3 Doy gracias a Dios, a quien rindo culto con limpia conciencia como lo hicieron mis antepasados, de que sin cesar me acuerdo de ti en mis oraciones de noche y de día. 4 Me he acordado de tus lágrimas y deseo verte para ser lleno de gozo. 5 Traigo a la memoria la fe no fingida que hay en ti, la cual habitó primero en tu abuela Loida y en tu madre Eunice, y estoy convencido de que también en ti.
6 Por esta razón, te vuelvo a recordar que avives el don de Dios que está en ti por la imposición de mis manos. 7 Porque no nos ha dado Dios un espíritu de cobardía sino de poder, de amor y de dominio propio. 8 Por tanto, no te avergüences de dar testimonio de nuestro Señor ni de mí, prisionero suyo. Más bien, sé partícipe conmigo de los sufrimientos por el evangelio, según el poder de Dios. 9 Fue él quien nos salvó y nos llamó con santo llamamiento, no conforme a nuestras obras sino conforme a su propio propósito y gracia, la cual nos fue dada en Cristo Jesús antes del comienzo del tiempo 10 y ahora ha sido manifestada por la aparición de nuestro Salvador Cristo Jesús. Él anuló la muerte y sacó a la luz la vida y la inmortalidad por medio del evangelio, 11 del cual he sido puesto como predicador, apóstol y maestro[a]. 12 Por esta razón padezco estas cosas, pero no me avergüenzo porque yo sé a quién he creído, y estoy convencido de que él es poderoso para guardar mi depósito para aquel día.
13 Ten presente el modelo de las sanas palabras que has oído de mí, en la fe y el amor en Cristo Jesús. 14 Guarda el buen depósito por medio del Espíritu Santo que habita en nosotros.
15 Ya sabes que se apartaron de mí todos los de Asia, entre ellos Figelo y Hermógenes. 16 El Señor conceda misericordia a la casa de Onesíforo porque muchas veces me reanimó y no se avergonzó de mis cadenas. 17 Más bien, cuando estuvo en Roma, me buscó solícitamente y me halló. 18 El Señor le conceda que halle misericordia de parte del Señor en aquel día. Cuánto nos ayudó en Éfeso tú lo sabes muy bien.

2 Timothy 1
New King James Version
Greeting
1 Paul, an apostle of [a]Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the (A)promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 To Timothy, a (B)beloved son:
Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Timothy’s Faith and Heritage
3 I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my (C)forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day, 4 greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy, 5 when I call to remembrance (D)the [b]genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and (E)your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also. 6 Therefore I remind you (F)to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For (G)God has not given us a spirit of fear, (H)but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Not Ashamed of the Gospel
8 (I)Therefore do not be ashamed of (J)the testimony of our Lord, nor of me (K)His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, 9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, (L)not according to our works, but (M)according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus (N)before time began, 10 but (O)has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 11 (P)to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher [c]of the Gentiles. 12 For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, (Q)for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.
Be Loyal to the Faith
13 (R)Hold fast (S)the pattern of (T)sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 14 That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
15 This you know, that all those in Asia have turned away from me, among whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes. 16 The Lord grant mercy to the (U)household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain; 17 but when he arrived in Rome, he sought me out very zealously and found me. 18 The Lord (V)grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord (W)in that Day—and you know very well how many ways he (X)ministered [d]to me at Ephesus.

2 Timothy 1
English Standard Version
Greeting
1 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,
2 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
3 (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. 4 (J)As I remember your tears, (K)I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy. 5 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. 6 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, 7 for God gave us (O)a spirit not of fear but (P)of power and love and self-control.
8 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, 9 (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.
