2 Timothy 1
1
1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus, 2to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. 3I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers in a pure conscience, how unceasing is my remembrance of thee in my supplications, night and day 4longing to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I may be filled with joy; 5having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in thee; which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and, I am persuaded, in thee also.
6For the which cause I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee through the laying on of my hands. 7For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline. 8Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but suffer hardship with the gospel according to the power of God; 9who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal, 10but hath now been manifested by the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and incorruption to light through the gospel, 11whereunto I was appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher. 12For the which cause I suffer also these things: yet I am not ashamed; for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed unto him against that day. 13Hold the pattern of sound words which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 14That good thing which was committed unto thee guard through the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
15This thou knowest, that all that are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. 16The Lord grant mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus: for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain; 17but, when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me 18(the Lord grant unto him to find mercy of the Lord in that day); and in how many things he ministered at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.

Guard the Deposit Entrusted to You
3 # See Rom. 1:8 I thank God #See Acts 22:3; 24:14 whom I serve, as did my ancestors, #1 Tim. 3:9; See Acts 23:1 with a clear conscience, as I remember you #Rom. 1:9constantly in my prayers night and day. 4#[Acts 20:37] As I remember your tears, #Phil. 1:8; [ch. 4:9, 21]I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy. 5I am reminded of #Rom. 12:9; 1 Tim. 1:5 your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and #Acts 16:1; [ch. 3:15; Ps. 86:16; 116:16]your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well. 6For this reason I remind you #1 Tim. 4:14; [1 Thess. 5:19]to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, 7for God gave us #Rom. 8:15; [John 14:27; Rev. 21:8] a spirit not of fear but #Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8of power and love and self-control.
8Therefore #See Mark 8:38 do not be ashamed of #See 1 Cor. 1:6 the testimony about our Lord, nor of #[ver. 16]; See Eph. 3:1 me his prisoner, but #ch. 2:3, 9; 4:5share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, 9#1 Tim. 1:1; Titus 3:4 who saved us and #[Heb. 3:1]; See Rom. 8:28 called us to#1:9 Or with a holy calling, #Titus 3:5; See Rom. 3:27 not because of our works but because of #[Heb. 3:1]; See Rom. 8:28 his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus #Titus 1:2; [Rom. 16:25]; See Eph. 1:4before the ages began,#1:9 Greek before times eternal 10and which now has #See Rom. 16:26 been manifested through #See 2 Thess. 2:8 the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, #1 Cor. 15:26; [1 Cor. 15:54, 55; Heb. 2:14, 15] who abolished death and #[Job 33:30] brought life and #Rom. 2:7immortality to light through the gospel, 11#See 1 Tim. 2:7for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher, 12#ch. 2:9 which is why I suffer as I do. But #ver. 8 I am not ashamed, for #[Ps. 10:14; 1 Pet. 4:19] I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until #ver. 18; ch. 4:8; See 1 Cor. 3:13 that day #1 Tim. 6:20what has been entrusted to me.#1:12 Or what I have entrusted to him; Greek my deposit 13#[ch. 3:14; Titus 1:9; Rev. 3:3] Follow #[Rom. 2:20; 6:17] the pattern of #See 1 Tim. 1:10 the sound#1:13 Or healthy words #ch. 2:2 that you have heard from me, in #1 Tim. 1:14the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 14By the Holy Spirit #See Rom. 8:9 who dwells within us, guard #[See ver. 12 above]the good deposit entrusted to you.
15You are aware that #Acts 19:10; [ch. 4:10, 11, 16]all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. 16May the Lord grant mercy to #ch. 4:19 the household of Onesiphorus, for he often #Philem. 7, 20 refreshed me and was not ashamed of #[ver. 8]; See Acts 28:20my chains, 17but when he arrived in Rome #Matt. 25:36-40he searched for me earnestly and found me— 18may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on #ver. 12 that day!—and you well know all the service he #Heb. 6:10rendered at Ephesus.
