2. Timotejovi 1

1 Pavol, z Božej vôle apoštol Ježiša Krista podľa prisľúbenia života, ktorý je v Kristovi Ježišovi,2 milovanému synovi Timotejovi: Milosť, milosrdenstvo a pokoj od Boha Otca i od Ježiša Krista, nášho Pána.3 Vzdávam vďaky Bohu, ktorému slúžim s čistým svedomím ako moji predkovia, keď na teba neprestajne myslím vo svojich modlitbách vo dne v noci.4 A keď si spomínam na tvoje slzy, túžim ťa vidieť, aby ma naplnila radosť.5 Spomínam si na tvoju úprimnú vieru, akú mala už tvoja stará matka Loida a tvoja matka Eunika, a som presvedčený, že aj ty.6 Preto ti pripomínam, aby si roznecoval Boží dar, ktorý je v tebe prostredníctvom vkladania mojich rúk.7 Veď Boh nám nedal Ducha bojazlivosti, ale Ducha sily, lásky a rozvahy.8 Preto sa nehanbi za svedectvo o našom Pánovi ani za mňa, jeho väzňa, ale trp spolu so mnou za evanjelium, posilňovaný mocou Boha.9 On nás spasil a povolal svätým povolaním, nie pre naše skutky, ale zo svojho rozhodnutia a milosti, ktorú sme dostali v Ježišovi Kristovi pred večnými vekmi.10 No známou sa stala až teraz, keď sa zjavil náš Spasiteľ Ježiš Kristus. On zničil smrť a zjavil život a nesmrteľnosť evanjeliom11 a ja som ustanovený za jeho hlásateľa, apoštola a učiteľa.12 Preto aj toto trpím, ale sa nehanbím, lebo viem, komu som uveril, a som presvedčený, že má moc zachovať to, čo mi bolo zverené, až do onoho dňa.13 Maj za vzor zdravých slov to, čo si počul odo mňa, vo viere a v láske, ktoré sú v Ježišovi Kristovi.14 Zverený poklad chráň mocou Ducha Svätého, ktorý v nás prebýva.15 Vieš, že sa odo mňa odvrátili všetci, čo sú v Ázii, medzi nimi aj Fygelus a Hermogenes.16 Nech Pán preukáže milosrdenstvo Oneziforovmu domu, lebo často ma osviežil a nehanbil sa za moje okovy,17 ale keď prišiel do Ríma, usilovne ma hľadal a našiel ma.18 - Nech mu Pán dá, aby v onen deň našiel milosrdenstvo u Pána. - A aké služby preukázal v Efeze, ty vieš najlepšie.

2 TIMOTHY 1

1 From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus.
God himself chose me to be an apostle, and he gave me the promised life that Jesus Christ makes possible.

2  t Timothy, you are like a dear child to me. I pray that God our Father and our Lord Christ Jesus will be kind and merciful to you and will bless you with peace!

Do Not Be Ashamed //of the Lord


3 Night and day I mention you in my prayers. I am always grateful for you, as I pray to the God my ancestors and I have served with a clear conscience. 4 I remember how you cried, and I want to see you, because this would make me truly happy. 5 t I also remember the genuine faith of your mother Eunice. Your grandmother Lois had the same sort of faith, and I am sure you have it as well. 6 So I ask you to make full use of the gift God gave you when I placed my hands on you.t Use it well.

7 God's Spiritt doesn't make cowards out of us. The Spirit gives us power, love, and self-control.

8 Don't be ashamed to speak for our Lord. And don't be ashamed of me, just because I am in jail for serving him. Use the power that comes from God and join with me in suffering for telling the good news.

9 God saved us and chose us
to be his holy people.
We did nothing
to deserve this,
but God planned it
because he is so kind.
Even before time began
God planned for Christ Jesus
to show kindness to us.

10 Now Christ Jesus has come
to offer us God's gift
of undeserved grace.
Christ our Savior defeated death
and brought us
the good news.
It shines like a light
and offers life
that never ends.
11  t My work is to be a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher.t 12 This is why I am suffering now. But I am not ashamed! I know the one I have faith in, and I am sure he can guard until the last day what he has trusted me with.t 13 Now follow the example of the correct teaching I gave you, and let the faith and love of Christ Jesus be your model.

14 You have been trusted with a wonderful treasure. Guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit, who lives within us.

15 You know that everyone in Asia has turned against me, especially Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 I pray that the Lord will be kind to the family of Onesiphorus. He often cheered me up and wasn't ashamed of me when I was put in jail. 17 Then after he arrived in Rome, he searched everywhere until he found me. 18 I pray that the Lord Jesus will ask God to show mercy to Onesiphorus on the day of judgment. You know how much he helped me in Ephesus.
