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.
