2 Timoteus 1
1 Paulus, Jesu Christi Apostel ved Guds Villie, til Forjættelse af Livet, som er i Christus Jesus,2 til Timotheus, den elskelige Søn: Naade, Barmhjertighed, Fred fra Gud Fader og Christus Jesus, vor Herre!3 jeg takker Gud, hvem jeg tjener, ligesom mine Forfældre, i en reen Samvittighed, idet jeg uden Afladelse erindrer dig i mine Bønner Nat og Dag,4 længselsfuld efter at see dig, naar jeg tænker paa dine Taarer, at jeg maa fyldes med Glæde,5 ihukommende den uskrømtede Tro, som er i dig, som boede først i din Mormoder Lois og din Moder Eunike, og jeg er vis paa, at den ogsaa boer i dig.6 Derfor paaminder jeg dig, at du opflammer den Guds Naadegave, som er i dig formedelst mine Hænders paalæggelse.7 Thi Gud har ikke givet os Feigheds Aand, men Krafts og Kjærligheds og Sindigheds Aand.8 Derfor skam dig ikke ved vor Herrens Vidnesbyrd eller ved mig, hans Bundne men lid Ondt med Evangelium, ved Guds Kraft,9 som frelse os og kaldte os med et helligt kald, ikke efter vore Gjerninger, men efter sit eget Forsæt og Naaden, som os er given i Christus Jesus fra evige Tider,10 men nu er kundgjort ved vor Frelser Jesu Christi Aabenbarelse, som tilintetgjorde Døden og bragte Liv og Uforkrængelighed for Lyset ved Evangelium,11 hvor hvilket jeg er beskikket en Prædiker og Apostel for Hedningers Lærer;12 for hvilken Sag jeg og lider dette, men skammer mig ikke derved; thi jeg veed, hvem jeg har troet, og er vis paa, at han er mægtig til at bevare det, jeg har nedlagt hos ham til hiin Dag.13 Hold fast ved den rette Form af de sunde Ord, hvilke du har hørt af mig, i Tro og Kjærlighed, som er i Christus Jesus.14 Bevar det Gode, som er nedlagt hos dig ved den Hellig Aand, som boer i os.15 Du veed det, at alle de i Asia have vendt sig fra mig, iblandt hvilke ere Phygellus og Hermogenes.16 Herren give Onesiphorus' Huus Barmhjertighed; thi han har ofte vederkvæget mig og skammede sig ikke ved min Lænke,17 men der han var i Rom, søgte han saa flittelig efter mig, og fandt mig.18 Herren give, at han maa finde Barmhjertighed hos Herren paa hiin Dag! Og hvor meget han tjente mig i Ephesus, veed du bedst.

Thanksgiving and Charge to Timothy
3 I am thankful to God, whom I have served with a clear conscience as my ancestors did,t when I remember you in my prayers as I do constantly night and day.t4 As I remember your tears, I long to see you,t so that I may be filled with joy.
5 I recallt your sincere faitht that was alive first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and I am suret is in you.
6 Because of this I remind you to rekindle God’s gift that you possesst through the laying on of my hands.7 For God did not give us a Spiritt of fear but of power and love and self-control.8 So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lordt or of me, a prisoner for his sake, but byt God’s power accept your share of sufferingt for the gospel.9 He is the one who saved ust and called us with a holy calling, not based ont our works but on his own purpose and grace, granted to us in Christ Jesus before time began,t10 but now made visible through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus. Het has broken the power of death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel!11 For this gospelt I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher.s12 Because of this, in fact, I suffer as I do.t But I am not ashamed, because I know the one in whom my faith is sett and I am convinced that he is able to protect what has been entrusted to mes until that day.s13 Hold to the standardt of sound words that you heard from me and do so with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.ts
14 Protect that good things entrusted to you, through the Holy Spirit who lives within us.
15 You know that everyone in the province of Asiat deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.16 May the Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my imprisonment.t17 But when he arrived in Rome,s he eagerly searched for me and found me.
18 May the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on that day!s And you know very well all the ways he served me in Ephesus.ts
