ABP - II Timothy - 1

1:1  Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, according to promise of life of the one in Christ Jesus.

1:2  To Timothy my beloved son, favor, mercy, peace from God the father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.

1:3  Gratitude I have to God, in whom I serve from my precursors, with a clean conscience, how continually I have the [2concerning 3you 1memory] in my supplications night and day;

1:4  longing to see you, remembering your tears, that with joy I should be filled;

1:5  [2recollection 1taking] of the [3in 4you 1unpretentious 2belief], which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois, and in your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that also is in you.

1:6  For which reason I remind you to rekindle the favor of God, which is in you by the laying on of my hands.

1:7  [3did not 1For 4give 5to us 2God] a spirit of dread, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

1:8  Therefore you should not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor me his prisoner; but suffer evil along with the good news according to the power of God!

1:9  of the one preserving us, and having called [2calling 1with a holy], not according to our works, but according to his own intention and favor, the one having been given to us in Christ Jesus before times everlasting;

1:10  and made manifest now through the grandeur of our deliverer Jesus Christ, the one clearing away indeed death, and having enlightened life and incorruptibility through the good news;

1:11  in which I was appointed herald, and apostle, and teacher of nations.

1:12  For which reason also these things I suffer; but I am not ashamed, for I know in whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able [2my deposit in his care 1to keep] for that day.

1:13  [2a pattern 1Have] of healthy words! which [2by 3me 1you heard] in belief and love, in the one in Christ Jesus.

1:14  [2the 3good 4trust 1Guard] through [2spirit 1holy], of the one dwelling in us!

1:15  Know this, that they turned away from me-- all the ones in Asia, of whom is Phygellus and Hermogenes.

1:16  May [3give 4mercy 1the 2Lord] to the house of Onesiphorus, for often he refreshed me, and [3of my chain 1he was not 2ashamed];

1:17  but being in Rome, more diligently he sought me, and found me.

1:18  May [3grant 4to him 1the 2Lord] to find mercy from the Lord in that day, and for as much as in Ephesus he served-- better you know it.
