New Testament

2 Timothy 1

1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,

παυλος, αποστολος χριστου ιησου δια θεληματος θεου κατ επαγγελιαν ζωης της εν χριστω ιησου,

2To Timothy, a beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

τιμοθεω αγαπητω τεκνω· χαρις, ελεος, ειρηνη απο θεου πατρος και χριστου ιησου του κυριου ημων.

3I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day,

χαριν εχω τω θεω, ω λατρευω απο προγονων εν καθαρα συνειδησει, ως αδιαλειπτον εχω την περι σου μνειαν εν ταις δεησεσιν μου νυκτος και ημερας,

4greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy,

επιποθων σε ιδειν, μεμνημενος σου των δακρυων, ινα χαρας πληρωθω,

5when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also.

υπομνησιν λαμβανων της εν σοι ανυποκριτου πιστεως, ητις ενωκησεν πρωτον εν τη μαμμη σου λωιδι και τη μητρι σου ευνικη, πεπεισμαι δε οτι και εν σοι.

6Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

δι ην αιτιαν αναμιμνησκω σε αναζωπυρειν το χαρισμα του θεου, ο εστιν εν σοι δια της επιθεσεως των χειρων μου·

7For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

ου γαρ εδωκεν ημιν ο θεος πνευμα δειλιας, αλλα δυναμεως και αγαπης και σωφρονισμου.

8Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God,

μη ουν επαισχυνθης το μαρτυριον του κυριου ημων μηδε εμε τον δεσμιον αυτου, αλλα συγκακοπαθησον τω ευαγγελιω κατα δυναμιν θεου,

9who has 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 to us in Christ Jesus before time began,

του σωσαντος ημας και καλεσαντος κλησει αγια, ου κατα τα εργα ημων, αλλα κατ ιδιαν προθεσιν και χαριν, την δοθεισαν ημιν εν χριστω ιησου προ χρονων αιωνιων,

10but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

φανερωθεισαν δε νυν δια της επιφανειας του σωτηρος ημων ιησου χριστου, καταργησαντος μεν τον θανατον, φωτισαντος δε ζωην και αφθαρσιαν δια του ευαγγελιου,

11to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

εις ο ετεθην εγω κηρυξ και αποστολος και διδασκαλος εθνων.

12For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.

δι ην αιτιαν και ταυτα πασχω, αλλ ουκ επαισχυνομαι· οιδα γαρ ω πεπιστευκα, και πεπεισμαι οτι δυνατος εστιν την παραθηκην μου φυλαξαι εις εκεινην την ημεραν.

13Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

υποτυπωσιν εχε υγιαινοντων λογων ων παρ εμου ηκουσας, εν πιστει και αγαπη τη εν χριστω ιησου·

14That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

την καλην παραθηκην φυλαξον δια πνευματος αγιου του ενοικουντος εν ημιν.

15This you know, that all those in Asia have turned away from me, among whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

οιδας τουτο, οτι απεστραφησαν με παντες οι εν τη ασια, ων εστιν φυγελλος και ερμογενης.

16The Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain;

δωη ελεος ο κυριος τω ονησιφορου οικω, οτι πολλακις με ανεψυξεν και την αλυσιν μου ουκ επαισχυνθη,

17but when he arrived in Rome, he sought me out very zealously and found me.

αλλα γενομενος εν ρωμη σπουδαιοτερον εζητησεν με και ευρεν·

18The Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that Day—and you know very well how many ways he ministered to me at Ephesus.

δωη αυτω ο κυριος ευρειν ελεος παρα κυριου εν εκεινη τη ημερα· και οσα εν εφεσω διηκονησεν, βελτιον συ γινωσκεις.
