2To beloved son Timotheus: Grace, love and peace from God The Father and from our Lord Yeshua The Messiah.

3I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with a pure conscience; I constantly remember you in my prayers, night and day, 4And I long to see you and I remember your tears, so that I am filled with joy 5By the recollection which I have of your true faith, which began first in your mother's mother, Lois, and in your mother Euniqay, and I am convinced that it is in you also.

6Because of this, I remind you to rouse the gift of God that is in you by laying on of my hands. 7For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of instruction.

8Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of Our Lord, neither of me his prisoner, but bear evils with The Gospel by the power of God, 9He who has given us life and has called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his will and the grace which has been given to us in Yeshua The Messiah before the time of the world, 10And is now revealed by the revelation of Our Lifegiver, Yeshua The Messiah, who has destroyed death and has displayed life and indestructibility by The Gospel, 11He by whom I am appointed a preacher, an Apostle and a teacher of the Gentiles. 12Therefore, I endure these things, and I am not ashamed, for I know in whom I have believed and I am convinced that he is able to keep my trust for me until that day.

13Let the sound words which you have heard from me be a model for you in the faith and love which are in Yeshua The Messiah. 14Keep the good trust by The Spirit of Holiness, who dwells within is,

15For you know this, that all those who are in Asia have turned away from me, of whom are Pugelos and Hermogenes. 16May our Lord give compassion to the house of Onesiphorus, who many times has refreshed me and was not ashamed of the chains of my bondage; 17But also when he came to Rome, he sought me with diligence and found me. 18May our Lord grant that he find mercy with our Lord in that day; and how that he ministered to me, especially in Ephesaus, you know.
