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

Unto Timothy, my beloved child: Favour, mercy, peace, from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.

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:

An outline, have thou, of healthful discourses which from me thou hast heard - with the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus:

Thou, therefore, my child, be empowering thyself in the favour that is in Christ Jesus,

Take thy part in suffering hardship, as a brave soldier of Christ Jesus: -

Keep in mind Jesus Christ - raised from among the dead, of the seed of David, - according to my joyful message:

For this cause, am I enduring, all things, for the sake of the chosen, in order that, they also, may obtain, the salvation, which is in Christ Jesus along with glory age-abiding.

Yea and, all who are determined to live in a godly manner in Christ Jesus, will be persecuted;

And that, from a babe, those sacred letters, thou hast known which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through the faith which is in Christ Jesus:

I adjure thee before God, and Christ Jesus - Who is about to be judging living and dead, - both as to his forthshining and his kingdom,
