¹Sha’ul [desired] , an apostle of Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] by the will of God-The Father, according to the promise of life which is in Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation] ,

²To Timothy [honoring God] , [my] dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God-The Father the Father and Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation] our Lord - Kurios.

³I thank God-The Father, whom I serve from [my] forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of youi in my prayers night and day;

⁴Greatly desiring to see youi , being mindful of youri tears, that I may be filled with joy;

⁵When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in youi , which dwelt first in youri grandmother Lois [agreeable] , and youri mother Eunice [good victory] ; and I am persuaded that in youi also.

⁶For what reason I put youi in remembrance that youi stir up the gift of God-The Father, which is in youi by the putting on of my hands.

⁷For God-The Father has not given us the Spirit [Ruach] of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

⁸Be not youi therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord - Kurios, nor of me his prisoner: but be youi partaker of the afflictions of the Gospel (joyful message) according to the power of God-The Father;

⁹Who has 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 Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation] before the world began,

¹⁰But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] , who has abolished death, and has brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel (joyful message) :

¹¹Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Goyim [Gentiles] .

¹²For the which cause I also suffer (allow, to let, permit) 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.

¹³Hold fast the form of sound words, which youi have heard of me, in faith and love which is in Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation] .

¹⁴That good thing which was committed unto youri keep by the Holy Spirit [Ruach HaKodesh] which dwells in us.

¹⁵This youi know, that all they which are in Asia [orient] be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus [a little fugitive] and Hermogenes [lucky born] .

¹⁶The Lord - Kurios give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus [bringing profit] ; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:

¹⁷But, when he was in Rome [strength] , he sought me out very diligently, and found [me] .

¹⁸The Lord - Kurios grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord - Kurios in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus [permitted] , youi know very well.
