To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

I have grace to God, whom I serve from the forefathers in pure consciousness, as I have continual remembrance concerning thee in my prayers night and day;

For this reason I say to you, Let that grace of God which is in you, given to you by my hands, have living power.

Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

but now [that extraordinary purpose and grace] has been fully disclosed and realized by us through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus who [through His incarnation and earthly ministry] abolished death [making it null and void] and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

who are always curious to learn and never able to attain the knowledge of the Truth.

The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
