NASB Bible

2 Timothy 1

Timothy Charged to Guard His Trust

1

Paul,  aan apostle of  bChrist Jesus  1 cby the will of God, according to the promise of  dlife in Christ Jesus,

2

To  aTimothy, my beloved  1 bson:  cGrace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3

 aI thank God, whom I  bserve with a  cclear conscience  1the way my forefathers did,  das I constantly remember you in my  2prayers night and day,

4

 alonging to see you,  beven as I recall your tears, so that I may be filled with joy.

5

 1For I am mindful of the  asincere faith within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and  byour mother Eunice, and I am sure that it is in you as well.

6

For this reason I remind you to kindle afresh  athe gift of God which is in you through  athe laying on of my hands.

7

For God has not given us a  aspirit of  1timidity, but of power and love and  2discipline.

8

Therefore  ado not be ashamed of the  btestimony of our Lord or of me  cHis prisoner, but join with me in  dsuffering for the  egospel according to the power of God,

9

who has  asaved us and  bcalled us with a holy  ccalling,  dnot according to our works, but according to His own  bpurpose and grace which was granted us in  eChrist Jesus from  fall eternity,

10

but  anow has been revealed by the  bappearing of our Savior  cChrist Jesus, who  dabolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

11

 afor which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher.

12

For this reason I also suffer these things, but  aI am not ashamed; for I know  bwhom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to  cguard what I have entrusted to Him  1until  dthat day.

13

 1 aRetain the  bstandard of  csound words  dwhich you have heard from me, in the  efaith and love which are in  fChrist Jesus.

14

Guard, through the Holy Spirit who  adwells in us, the  1 btreasure which has been entrusted to you.

15

You are aware of the fact that all who are in  1 aAsia  bturned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

16

The Lord grant mercy to  athe house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and  bwas not ashamed of my  1 cchains;

17

but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me--

18

the Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord on  athat day--and you know very well what services he rendered at  bEphesus.
