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

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

Who saved us and who 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 times eternal.

But which has now been manifested by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who indeed abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the good-news,

Hold the pattern of sound words that thou heard from me, in faith and love in Christ Jesus.

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

Thou therefore endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

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

Because of this I endure all things because of the chosen, so that they also may experience salvation in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

And also all those who want to live devoutly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.

And that from a babe thou have known the sacred writings, which are able to make thee wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

I solemnly testify therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is going to judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom,

The Lord Jesus Christ is with thy spirit. Grace is with you. Truly.
