1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,

timoqew agaphtw teknw cariV eleoV eirhnh apo qeou patroV kai cristou ihsou tou kuriou hmwn
1:2 To Timothy, [my] dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

carin ecw tw qew w latreuw apo progonwn en kaqara suneidhsei wV adialeipton ecw thn peri sou mneian en taiV dehsesin mou nuktoV kai hmeraV
1:3 I thank God, whom I serve from [my] forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;

epipoqwn se idein memnhmenoV sou twn dakruwn ina caraV plhrwqw
1:4 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;

upomnhsin lambanwn thV en soi anupokritou pistewV htiV enwkhsen prwton en th mammh sou lwidi kai th mhtri sou euneikh pepeismai de oti kai en soi
1:5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

di hn aitian anamimnhskw se anazwpurein to carisma tou qeou o estin en soi dia thV epiqesewV twn ceirwn mou
1:6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

ou gar edwken hmin o qeoV pneuma deiliaV alla dunamewV kai agaphV kai swfronismou
1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

mh oun epaiscunqhV to marturion tou kuriou hmwn mhde eme ton desmion autou alla sugkakopaqhson tw euaggeliw kata dunamin qeou
1:8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;

tou swsantoV hmaV kai kalesantoV klhsei agia ou kata ta erga hmwn alla kat idian proqesin kai carin thn doqeisan hmin en cristw ihsou pro cronwn aiwniwn
1:9 Who hath saved us, and called [us] with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

fanerwqeisan de nun dia thV epifaneiaV tou swthroV hmwn ihsou cristou katarghsantoV men ton qanaton fwtisantoV de zwhn kai afqarsian dia tou euaggeliou
1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

eiV o eteqhn egw khrux kai apostoloV kai didaskaloV eqnwn
1:11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

di hn aitian kai tauta pascw all ouk epaiscunomai oida gar w pepisteuka kai pepeismai oti dunatoV estin thn paraqhkhn mou fulaxai eiV ekeinhn thn hmeran
1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

upotupwsin ece ugiainontwn logwn wn par emou hkousaV en pistei kai agaph th en cristw ihsou
1:13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

thn kalhn parakataqhkhn fulaxon dia pneumatoV agiou tou enoikountoV en hmin
1:14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.

oidaV touto oti apestrafhsan me panteV oi en th asia wn estin fugelloV kai ermogenhV
1:15 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

dwh eleoV o kurioV tw onhsiforou oikw oti pollakiV me aneyuxen kai thn alusin mou ouk ephscunqh
1:16 The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:

alla genomenoV en rwmh spoudaioteron ezhthsen me kai euren
1:17 But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found [me].

dwh autw o kurioV eurein eleoV para kuriou en ekeinh th hmera kai osa en efesw dihkonhsen beltion su ginwskeiV
1:18 The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
