When I remember the tears you shed I long night and day to see you again, and have the perfect happiness

and we write this to you to make your happiness complete.

Though I have a great deal to write to you, I would rather not write it with paper and ink, but I hope to come to see you, and talk with you face to face, so that your happiness may be complete.


These are the instructions that I intrust to you, my son Timothy, and they are in accordance with the predictions made long ago about you. Fight the good fight with their aid,

This is why I have sent Timothy to you. He is a dear child of mine, in the service of the Lord, and one on whom you can depend, and he will help you to keep in mind my methods in the service of Christ Jesus, which I follow everywhere in every church.

But you know his character, and how like a son helping his father he has worked like a slave with me in preaching the good news.


to my dear child Timothy; God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord bless you and be merciful to you and give you peace. I thank God, whom I, like my forefathers, worship with a clear conscience, when I remember you, as I constantly do, in my prayers. When I remember the tears you shed I long night and day to see you again, and have the perfect happiness
