For which cause, I put thee in remembrance, to be stirring up God's gift of favour, which is in thee through means of the laying on of my hands;

For God hath not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, and love, and correction.

Be not thou, therefore, put to shame - with regard to the witness of our Lord, nor with regard to me his prisoner; but suffer hardship together with the glad-message according to the power of God, -

Who hath saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to the peculiar purpose and favour - which was given to us in Christ Jesus before age-during times,

But hath now been made manifest through means of the forthshining of our Saviour Christ Jesus, - Who, indeed, hath abolished death, and hath thrown light upon life and incorruptibility, through means of the glad-message:

For which cause, these things also, am I suffering; nevertheless I am not being put to shame, for I know him whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is, able, to guard, that which I have entrusted, to him unto, that, day.

The Lord grant mercy unto the house, of Onesiphorus, in that, ofttimes, hath he refreshed me, and, as regardeth my chain, hath not been put to shame,

But, happening to be in Rome, he diligently sought out and found me, -

In which I am suffering hardship, even unto bonds, as an evil-doer; but, the word of God, is not bound.

Give diligence, thyself, approved, to present unto God, - a workman not to be put to shame, skillfully handling the word of truth.

But, the profane pratings, shun; for, unto more ungodliness, will they force themselves on;

But, in a great house, there are not only gold and silver vessels, but, also wooden and earthen: and, some, indeed, for honour, while, some, are for dishonour:

But, from the youthful covetings, flee! and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, along with them who call upon the Lord out of a pure heart.

But, from the foolish and undisciplined questionings, excuse thyself, knowing that they gender strifes;

And, a servant of the Lord, ought not to strive, but to be, gentle, towards all, apt in teaching, ready to endure malice, -

But, of this, be taking note - that, in last days, there will set in perilous seasons;

having a form of godliness, but, the power thereof, denying! and, from these, turn away;

But they shall not force their way further, for, their folly, shall be, fully evident, unto all, - as also, that of those men, became.

But, thou, hast closely studied - my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, love, endurance,

But, thou, - abide in the things which thou hast learned, and been entrusted with, knowing, from whom, thou hast learned them , -

For there will be a season - when, the healthful teaching, they will not endure, but, according to their own covetings, will, unto themselves, heap up teachers, because they have an itching ear,

But, thou, - be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do, the work, of an evangelist, thy ministry, completely fulfill;

Henceforth, lieth by for me - the crown, of righteousness, which the Lord will render unto me in that, day, - The righteous judge, - Ye, not alone unto me, but unto all them also who have loved his forthshining.

In my first defence, no man, came in to help me, but, all, forsook me, - unto them, may it not be reckoned! -

But, the Lord, stood by me, and empowered me, in order that, through me, the proclamation, might be fully made, and, all the nations, might hear; and I was delivered out of the mouth of a lion: -

Erastus, remained in Corinth; but, Trophimus, I left at Miletus, sick.
