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.”

提摩太后书 1
Chinese New Version (Traditional)

問安

1 奉　神旨意，憑著在基督耶穌裡的生命的應許，作基督耶穌使徒的保羅， 2 寫信給親愛的兒子提摩太，願恩惠、憐憫、平安從父　神和我們的主基督耶穌臨到你。

為主作見證不要當作羞恥

3 我感謝　神，就是我像我祖先一樣，以清潔的良心所事奉的　神，在禱告中晝夜不斷地記念你； 4 一想起你流的眼淚，我就渴望見你，好叫我滿有喜樂。 5 我記得你心裡無偽的信心，這信心原先是在你外祖母羅以和你母親友尼基心裡的，我深信也在你的心裡。 6 為了這緣故，我提醒你，要把　神藉著我按手給你的恩賜，像火一樣再挑旺起來。 7 因為　神所賜給我們的，不是膽怯的靈，而是有能力、仁愛、自律的靈。 8 所以，不要以給我們的主作見證當作羞恥，也不要以我這為主被囚的當作羞恥，卻要為了福音的緣故，靠著　神的大能，與我同受磨難。 9 　神救了我們，以聖召呼召我們，不是按照我們的行為，卻是按照他自己的計劃和恩典；這恩典是在萬世以前，在基督耶穌裡賜給了我們的， 10 但現在藉著我們救主基督耶穌的顯現，才表明出來。他廢掉了死亡，藉著福音把生命和不朽彰顯出來。 11 為這福音，我被派作傳道的、使徒和教師。 12 為了這緣故，我也受這些苦，但我不以為恥，因為我知道我所信的是誰，也深信他能保守我所交託他的（“我所交託他的”或譯：“他所交託我的”），直到那日。 13 你要靠著在基督耶穌裡的信心和愛心，常常堅守從我這裡聽過的話，作為純正話語的模範； 14 又要靠著那住在我們裡面的聖靈，保守所交託你的善道。

15 你知道所有在亞西亞的人都離棄了我，他們當中有腓吉路和黑摩其尼。 16 願主賜憐憫給阿尼色弗一家的人，因為他多次使我暢快，也不以我的鎖鍊為恥； 17 他竟然來到羅馬，迫切地尋找我，結果找到了。 18 （願主在那日使他從主那裡得著憐憫。）你也清楚知道他在以弗所是怎樣多方服事我。

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.

2 Timotei 1
Nouă Traducere În Limba Română

1 Pavel, apostol al lui Cristos Isus, prin voia lui Dumnezeu, după promisiunea vieţii în Cristos Isus, 2 către Timotei, copilul preaiubit: har, îndurare şi pace de la Dumnezeu Tatăl şi de la Cristos Isus, Domnul nostru!

Mulţumiri şi încurajări

3 Îi sunt recunoscător lui Dumnezeu, pe Care-L slujesc cu o conştiinţă curată, aşa cum au făcut-o şi strămoşii mei, când îmi aduc aminte mereu de tine în rugăciunile mele, zi şi noapte. 4 Îmi amintesc de lacrimile tale şi doresc să te văd, ca să mă umplu de bucurie. 5 Îmi aduc aminte de credinţa ta, care este fără ipocrizie şi care a locuit mai întâi în bunica ta, Lois, apoi în mama ta, Eunice, iar acum sunt convins că şi în tine. 6 De aceea, îţi aduc aminte să înflăcărezi darul lui Dumnezeu, care este în tine prin punerea mâinilor mele. 7 Căci Dumnezeu nu ne-a dat un duh de frică, ci de putere, de dragoste şi de înţelepciune. 8 Aşadar, să nu-ţi fie ruşine să mărturiseşti despre Domnul nostru şi nici despre mine, prizonier de dragul Lui, ci suferă împreună cu mine pentru Evanghelie[a], prin puterea lui Dumnezeu. 9 El ne-a mântuit şi ne-a chemat cu o chemare sfântă, nu datorită faptelor noastre, ci datorită planului şi harului Său, pe care ni l-a dat în Cristos Isus înainte de vremurile veşniciilor, 10 dar care a fost descoperit acum prin arătarea Mântuitorului nostru, Isus Cristos, Care a desfiinţat moartea şi a adus la lumină viaţa şi nemurirea, prin Evanghelie. 11 Iar eu am fost pus predicatorul, apostolul şi învăţătorul ei. 12 De aceea sufăr aceste lucruri, dar nu mi-e ruşine, pentru că ştiu în Cine am crezut şi sunt convins că El poate să păzească până în ziua aceea ce I-am încredinţat. 13 Păstrează modelul[b] cuvintelor sănătoase, pe care le-ai auzit de la mine, împreună cu credinţa şi dragostea care sunt în Cristos Isus! 14 Păzeşte lucrul acela bun care ţi-a fost încredinţat prin Duhul Sfânt, Care locuieşte în noi!

15 Tu ştii că toţi cei ce sunt în Asia[c] m-au părăsit, între care sunt şi Figel, şi Hermogen. 16 Fie ca Domnul să-Şi arate îndurarea peste casa lui Onisifor, pentru că, de multe ori, el m-a încurajat şi nu i-a fost ruşine de lanţul meu. 17 Dimpotrivă, când a fost în Roma, m-a căutat cu mult efort şi m-a găsit. 18 Să dea Domnul să găsească îndurare de la Domnul în ziua aceea! Tu ştii bine cât de mult mi-a slujit în Efes.
