2 Timothy 1 (WEBP)
[1] Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ° through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
[2] to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
[3] I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day
[4] longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;
[5] having been reminded of the sincere faith that is in you, which lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, in you also.
[6] For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
[7] For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
[8] Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,
[9] who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,
[10] but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.
[11] For this I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
[12] For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.
[13] Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
[14] That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
[15] This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
[16] May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
[17] but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently and found me
[18] (the Lord grant to him to find the Lord’s mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.

2 Timothy 1 (KJVS)
[1] Paul G3972, an apostle G652 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 by G1223 the will G2307 of God G2316, according to G2596 the promise G1860 of life G2222 which G3588 is in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424,
[2] To Timothy G5095, [my] dearly beloved G27 son G5043: Grace G5485, mercy G1656, [and] peace G1515, from G575 God G2316 the Father G3962 and G2532 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 our G2257 Lord G2962.
[3] I thank G2192 (PresActInd) G5485 God G2316, whom G3739 I serve G3000 (PresActInd) from G575 [my] forefathers G4269 with G1722 pure G2513 conscience G4893, that G5613 without ceasing G88 I have G2192 (PresActInd) remembrance G3417 of G4012 thee G4675 in G1722 my G3450 prayers G1162 night G3571 and G2532 day G2250;
[4] Greatly desiring G1971 (PresActPtc) to see G1492 (Aor2ActInf) thee G4571, being mindful G3415 (PerfPasPtc) of thy G4675 tears G1144, that G2443 I may be filled G4137 (AorPasSubj) with joy G5479;
[5] When I call G2983 (PresActPtc) to remembrance G5280 the unfeigned G505 faith G4102 that is in G1722 thee G4671, which G3748 dwelt G1774 (AorActInd) first G4412 in G1722 thy G4675 grandmother G3125 Lois G3090, and G2532 thy G4675 mother G3384 Eunice G2131; and G1161 I am persuaded G3982 (PerfPasInd) that G3754 in G1722 thee G4671 also G2532.
[6] Wherefore G1223 G3739 G156 I put G363 thee G4571 in remembrance G363 (PresActInd) that thou stir up G329 (PresActInf) the gift G5486 of God G2316, which G3739 is G2076 (PresInd) in G1722 thee G4671 by G1223 the putting on G1936 of my G3450 hands G5495.
[7] For G1063 God G2316 hath G1325 not G3756 given G1325 (AorActInd) us G2254 the spirit G4151 of fear G1167; but G235 of power G1411, and G2532 of love G26, and G2532 of a sound mind G4995.
[8] Be G1870 not G3361 thou G1870 therefore G3767 ashamed G1870 (AorPasDepSubj) of the testimony G3142 of our G2257 Lord G2962, nor G3366 of me G1691 his G846 prisoner G1198: but G235 be thou partaker of the afflictions G4777 (AorActImpr) of the gospel G2098 according to G2596 the power G1411 of God G2316;
[9] Who G3588 hath saved G4982 (AorActPtc) us G2248, and G2532 called G2564 (AorActPtc) [us] with an holy G40 calling G2821, not G3756 according to G2596 our G2257 works G2041, but G235 according to G2596 his own G2398 purpose G4286 and G2532 grace G5485, which G3588 was given G1325 (AorPasPtc) us G2254 in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 before G4253 the world began G5550 G166,
[10] But G1161 is G5319 now G3568 made manifest G5319 (AorPasPtc) by G1223 the appearing G2015 of our G2257 Saviour G4990 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547, who G3303 hath abolished G2673 (AorActPtc) death G2288, and G1161 hath brought G5461 life G2222 and G2532 immortality G861 to light G5461 (AorActPtc) through G1223 the gospel G2098:
[11] Whereunto G1519 G3739 I G1473 am appointed G5087 (AorPasInd) a preacher G2783, and G2532 an apostle G652, and G2532 a teacher G1320 of the Gentiles G1484.
[12] For G1223 the which G3739 cause G156 I G3958 also G2532 suffer G3958 (PresActInd) these things G5023: nevertheless G235 I am G1870 not G3756 ashamed G1870 (PresMidPasDepInd): for G1063 I know G1492 (PerfActInd) whom G3739 I have believed G4100 (PerfActInd), and G2532 am persuaded G3982 (PerfPasInd) that G3754 he is G2076 (PresInd) able G1415 to keep G5442 (AorActInf) that which I G3450 have committed unto him G3866 against G1519 that G1565 day G2250.
[13] Hold fast G2192 (PresActImpr) the form G5296 of sound G5198 (PresActPtc) words G3056, which G3739 thou hast heard G191 (AorActInd) of G3844 me G1700, in G1722 faith G4102 and G2532 love G26 which G3588 is in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424.
[14] That good thing G2570 which was committed unto thee G3872 keep G5442 (AorActImpr) by G1223 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 which G3588 dwelleth G1774 (PresActPtc) in G1722 us G2254.
[15] This G5124 thou knowest G1492 (PerfActInd), that G3754 all G3956 they which are in G1722 Asia G773 be turned away from G654 (Aor2PasDepSubj) me G3165; of whom G3739 are G2076 (PresInd) Phygellus G5436 and G2532 Hermogenes G2061.
[16] The Lord G2962 give G1325 (Aor2ActOpt) mercy G1656 unto the house G3624 of Onesiphorus G3683; for G3754 he G404 oft G4178 refreshed G404 (AorActInd) me G3165, and G2532 was G1870 not G3756 ashamed G1870 (AorPasInd) of my G3450 chain G254:
[17] But G235, when he was G1096 (Aor2MidDepPtc) in G1722 Rome G4516, he sought G2212 me G3165 out G2212 (AorActInd) very diligently G4706, and G2532 found G2147 (Aor2ActInd) [me].
[18] The Lord G2962 grant G1325 (Aor2ActOpt) unto him G846 that he may find G2147 (Aor2ActInf) mercy G1656 of G3844 the Lord G2962 in G1722 that G1565 day G2250: and G2532 in how many things G3745 he ministered unto me G1247 (AorActInd) at G1722 Ephesus G2181, thou G4771 knowest G1097 (PresActInd) very well G957.
Young’s Literal Translation
2 Timothy 1 (YLT)
[1] Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, according to a promise of life that is in Christ Jesus,
[2] to Timotheus, beloved child: Grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord!
[3] I am thankful to God, whom I serve from progenitors in a pure conscience, that unceasingly I have remembrance concerning thee in my supplications night and day,
[4] desiring greatly to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that with joy I may be filled,
[5] taking remembrance of the unfeigned faith that is in thee, that dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that also in thee.
[6] For which cause I remind thee to stir up the gift of God that is in thee through the putting on of my hands,
[7] for God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind;
[8] therefore thou mayest not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but do thou suffer evil along with the good news according to the power of God,
[9] who did save us, and did call with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, that was given to us in Christ Jesus, before the times of the ages,
[10] and was made manifest now through the manifestation of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who indeed did abolish death, and did enlighten life and immortality through the good news,
[11] to which I was placed a preacher and an apostle, and a teacher of nations,
[12] for which cause also these things I suffer, but I am not ashamed, for I have known in whom I have believed, and have been persuaded that he is able that which I have committed to him to guard-to that day.
[13] The pattern hold thou of sound words, which from me thou didst hear, in faith and love that is in Christ Jesus;
[14] the good thing committed guard thou through the Holy Spirit that is dwelling in us;
[15] thou hast known this, that they did turn from me-all those in Asia, of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes;
[16] may the Lord give kindness to the house of Onesiphorus, because many times he did refresh me, and of my chain was not ashamed,
[17] but being in Rome, very diligently he sought me, and found;
[18] may the Lord give to him to find kindness from the Lord in that day; and how many things in Ephesus he did minister thou dost very well know.
