But you know his qualifications, that like a son working with his father, he served with me in advancing the gospel.
to Timothy, my genuine child in the faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!
to Timothy, my dear child. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!

As I remember your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy.
