2 Timothy 1
King James Version
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, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
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 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 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.

Guard the Treasure Entrusted to You
1 Paul, (A)an apostle of (B)Christ Jesus [a](C)by the will of God, according to the promise of (D)life in Christ Jesus,
2 To (E)Timothy, my beloved (F)child: (G)Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 (H)I am grateful to God, whom I (I)serve with a (J)clear conscience [b]the way my forefathers did, (K)as I unceasingly remember you in my [c]prayers night and day, 4 (L)longing to see you, (M)having remembered your tears, so that I may be filled with joy, 5 [d]being reminded of the (N)unhypocritical faith within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and (O)your mother Eunice, and I am convinced that it is in you as well. 6 For this reason I remind you to kindle afresh (P)the gift of God which is in you through (Q)the laying on of my hands. 7 For God has not given us a (R)spirit of [e]timidity, but of power and love and [f]self-discipline.
8 Therefore (S)do not be ashamed of either the (T)witness about our Lord or me (U)His prisoner, but join with me in (V)suffering for the (W)gospel according to the power of God, 9 who has (X)saved us and (Y)called us with a holy (Z)calling, (AA)not according to our works, but according to His own (AB)purpose and grace which was given to us in (AC)Christ Jesus from (AD)all eternity, 10 but (AE)now has been manifested by the (AF)appearing of our Savior (AG)Christ Jesus, who (AH)abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 11 (AI)for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher. 12 For this reason I also suffer these things, but (AJ)I am not ashamed; for I know (AK)whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to (AL)guard what I have entrusted to Him [g]until (AM)that day. 13 [h](AN)Hold to the (AO)standard of (AP)sound words (AQ)which you have heard from me, in the (AR)faith and love which are in (AS)Christ Jesus. 14 Guard, through the Holy Spirit who (AT)dwells in us, the [i](AU)treasure which has been entrusted to you.
15 You are aware of this: that all who are in (AV)Asia (AW)turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. 16 The Lord give mercy to (AX)the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and (AY)was not ashamed of my [j](AZ)chains, 17 but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me— 18 the Lord [k]grant to him to find mercy from the Lord on (BA)that day—and you know very well what services he rendered at (BB)Ephesus.

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.

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.
