2 Timothy 1 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Timothy Charged to Guard His Trust

1 Paul ^G3972, an apostle ^G652 of Christ ^G5547 Jesus ^G2424 [fn]by the will ^G2307 of God ^G2316, according ^G2596 to the promise ^G1860 of life ^G2222 in Christ ^G5547 Jesus ^G2424,

2 To Timothy ^G5095, my beloved ^G27 [fn]son ^G5043: Grace ^G5485, mercy ^G1656, and peace ^G1515 from God ^G2316 the Father ^G3962 and Christ ^G5547 Jesus ^G2424 our Lord ^G2962.

3 I thank ^G5485 God ^G2316, whom ^G3739 I serve ^G3000 with a clear ^G2513 conscience ^G4893 [fn]the way ^G575 my forefathers ^G4269 did, as I constantly ^G88 remember ^G2192 G3417 you in my [fn]prayers ^G1162 night ^G3571 and day ^G2250,

4 longing ^G1971 to see ^G3708 you, even as I recall ^G3403 your tears ^G1144, so ^G2443 that ^G2443 I may be filled ^G4137 with joy ^G5479. 5 [fn]For I am mindful ^G5280 of the sincere ^G505 faith ^G4102 within ^G1722 you, which ^G3748 first ^G4413 dwelled ^G1774 in your grandmother ^G3125 Lois ^G3090 and your mother ^G3384 Eunice ^G2131, and I am ^G3982 sure ^G3982 that it is in you as ^G2532 well ^G2532. 6 For this ^G3739 reason ^G156 I remind ^G363 you to kindle ^G329 afresh ^G329 the gift ^G5486 of God ^G2316 which ^G3739 is in you through ^G1223 the laying ^G1936 on ^G1936 of my hands ^G5495. 7 For God ^G2316 has not given ^G1325 us a spirit ^G4151 of [fn]timidity ^G1167, but of power ^G1411 and love ^G26 and [fn]discipline ^G4995.

8 Therefore ^G3767 do not be ^G1870 ashamed ^G1870 of the testimony ^G3142 of our Lord ^G2962 or ^G3366 of me His prisoner ^G1198, but join ^G4777 with ^G4777 me in ^G4777 suffering ^G4777 for the gospel ^G2098 according ^G2596 to the power ^G1411 of God ^G2316, 9 who saved ^G4982 us and called ^G2564 us with a holy ^G40 calling ^G2821, not according ^G2596 to our works ^G2041, but according ^G2596 to His own ^G2398 purpose ^G4286 and grace ^G5485, which was granted ^G1325 to us in Christ ^G5547 Jesus ^G2424 from all ^G5550 eternity ^G166, 10 but has now ^G3568 been revealed ^G5319 by the appearing ^G2015 of our Savior ^G4990 Christ ^G5547 Jesus ^G2424, who abolished ^G2673 death ^G2288 and brought ^G5461 life ^G2222 and immortality ^G861 to ^G5461 light ^G5461 through ^G1223 the gospel ^G2098, 11 for which ^G3739 I was appointed ^G5087 a preacher ^G2783, an apostle ^G652, and a teacher ^G1320. 12 For this ^G3739 reason ^G156 I also ^G2532 suffer ^G3958 these ^G3778 things ^G3778; but I am ^G1870 not ashamed ^G1870, for I know ^G6063 whom ^G3739 I have believed ^G4100, and I am convinced ^G3982 that He is able ^G1415 to protect ^G5442 what ^G3866 I have ^G3866 entrusted ^G3866 to Him [fn]until ^G1519 that day ^G2250. 13 Hold ^G2192 on to the example ^G5296 of sound ^G5198 words ^G3056 which ^G3739 you have heard ^G191 from me, in the faith ^G4102 and love ^G26 which are in Christ ^G5547 Jesus ^G2424. 14 Protect ^G5442, through ^G1223 the Holy ^G40 Spirit ^G4151 who dwells ^G1774 in us, the [fn]treasure ^G2570 G3866 which ^G3866 has ^G3866 been ^G3866 entrusted ^G3866 to you.

15 You are aware ^G6063 of the fact ^G3778 that all ^G3956 who are in [fn]Asia ^G773 turned ^G654 away ^G654 from me, among whom ^G3739 are Phygelus ^G5436 and Hermogenes ^G2061. 16 The Lord ^G2962 grant ^G1325 mercy ^G1656 to the household ^G3624 of Onesiphorus ^G3683, for he often ^G4178 refreshed ^G404 me and was ^G1870 not ashamed ^G1870 of my [fn]chains ^G254; 17 but when he was in Rome ^G4516, he eagerly ^G4709 searched ^G2212 for ^G2212 me and found ^G2147 me— 18 the Lord ^G2962 grant ^G1325 to him to find ^G2147 mercy ^G1656 from the Lord ^G2962 on that day ^G2250—and you know ^G1097 very ^G957 well ^G957 what ^G3745 services ^G1247 he rendered ^G1247 at Ephesus ^G2181.
