1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the promise of the life in Christ Jesus,
2 to Timothy, a beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 I have gratitude to God whom I serve from the forefathers in a pure conscience, as I have unceasing remembrance about thee in my supplications, night and day
4 longing to see thee, having remembered thy tears, so that I may be filled with joy,
5 taking memory of the non-hypocritical faith in thee, which first dwelt in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that is in thee also.
6 Because of which reason I remind thee to rekindle the gift of God that is in thee through the laying on of my hands.
7 For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, and of love, and of soberness.
8 Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord nor of me his prisoner, but suffer together with the good-news according to the power of God.
9 Who saved us and who called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal.
10 But which has now been manifested by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who indeed abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the good-news,
11 for which I was appointed a herald, and an apostle, and a teacher of Gentiles.
12 Because of which reason I also suffer these things. But I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to preserve my consignment for that day.
13 Hold the pattern of sound words that thou heard from me, in faith and love in Christ Jesus.
14 Guard the good consignment through the Holy Spirit that dwells in us.
15 This thou know, that all those in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
16 May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chain.
17 But when he happened to be in Rome he sought me more diligently and found me
18 (may the Lord grant him to find mercy from Lord in that day), and in how many things he ministered at Ephesus, thou know very well.
1 Paul an Apostle of Iesu Christ by the will of God to preache the promes of lyfe which lyfe is in Christ Iesu.

3 I thanke god whom I serve from myne elders with pure consciece that with out ceasynge I make mencion of the in my prayres nyght and daye
4 desyrynge to se the myndfull of thy teares: so that I am filled with ioye
5 whe I call to remembraunce the vnfayned fayth that is in the which dwelt fyrst in thy graumoder Lois and in thy mother Eunica: and am assured that it dwelleth in the also.

13 Se thou have the ensample of the holsome wordes which thou heardest of me in fayth and love which is in Iesu Christ.
14 That good thinge whiche was committed to thy kepynge kepe in ye holy goost which dwelleth in vs.
15 This thou knowest how that all they which are in Asia be turned from me. Of which sorte are Phigelos and hermogenes.
16 The lorde geve mercie vnto the housse of Onesiphoros for he ofte refresshed me and was not a shamed of my chayne:
17 but when he was at Rome he sought me out very diligently and founde me.
18 The lorde graunt vnto him that he maye fynde mercie with the lorde at that daye. And in how many thynges he ministred vnto me at Ephesus thou knowest very wel.
