Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,

to Timothy, a beloved child: grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.

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 us in Christ Jesus before eternal ages,

but now made manifest through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus; Who abolished death, and brought to light life and incorruption through the Gospel;

Hold the pattern of healthful words which you heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Do you, therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my Gospel;

Therefore, I suffer all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

Yea, and all who wish to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

and that, from a babe, you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith that is in Christ Jesus.

I charge you before God, and Christ Jesus, Who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His Kingdom,
