Paul, the sent of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus,

To Timothy, dearly beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and christ Jesus our Lord.

Who having saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, given us in Christ Jesus before eternal times,

And now made manifest by the appearance of our Saviour Jesus Christ, having truly left death unemployed, and having brought life and immortality to light by the good news:

Hold the model of sound words, which thou didst hear of me, in the faith and love which in Christ Jesus.

Thou therefore, my child, be strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus.

Thou therefore suffer ill treatment, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

Remember Jesus Christ raised from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my good news:

For this I endure all things for the chosen, that they also might attain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

And all wishing to live devotedly in Christ Jesus shall be driven out.

And that from infancy thou hast known the holy letters, able to render thee wise to salvation by faith which in Christ Jesus.

I call to witness before God there fore, and the Lord Jesus Christ, being about to judge the living and the dead according to his appearance and his kingdom;

The Lord Jesus Christ with thy Spirit. Grace with you. Amen.
