1:1  Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God according to the promise of the life that is in Christ Jesus,
1:2  To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
1:3  I thank God whom I serve, as did my ancestors, with a clear conscience, as I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day.
1:4  As I remember your tears, I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy.
1:5  I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well.
1:6  For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands,
1:7  for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
1:8  Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God,
1:9  who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began,
1:10  and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,
1:11  for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher,
1:12  which is why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that Day what has been entrusted to me.
1:13  Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
1:14  By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you.
1:15  You are aware that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
1:16  May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains,
1:17  but when he arrived in Rome he searched for me earnestly and found me—
1:18  may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on that Day!—and you well know all the service he rendered at Ephesus.
