1 Paul, an ambassador of Yahshua Christ by the will of Yahweh in accordance with the promise of life which is in Christ Yahshua,2 to Timotheos, beloved child: favor, mercy, peace from Father Yahweh and Christ Yahshua our Prince.3 I have gratitude to Yahweh whom I serve after my ancestors with a clean conscience, that incessantly I have mention concerning you in my prayers night and day,4 yearning to see you, remembering your tears, that I would be filled with joy.5 Receiving a reminder of that unfeigned faith which is in you, which abode first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunika, now I am convinced that also is in you.6 For which cause I remind you to rekindle that favor of Yahweh which is in you through the laying on of my hands.7 For Yahweh has not given to us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of discretion.8 Therefore you should not be ashamed of the testimony of our Prince nor of me, His prisoner. Rather take a share in hardship in the good message in accordance with the power of Yahweh,9 who preserves and calls us to a holy calling not according to our works, but according to a distinct purpose and favor, given to us among the number of Christ Yahshua, before the times of the ages,10 and made known now through the appearance of our Savior Christ Yahshua, while having nullified death then illuminating life and incorruption through the good message,11 for which I have been appointed a herald and an ambassador and a teacher.12 For which cause also I suffer these things, but I am not ashamed, for I know whom I believe, and I am persuaded that He is able to keep my deposit for that day.13 Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me in faith and love in which is in Christ Yahshua.14 Keep that good deposit through the Holy Spirit which is dwelling within you.15 Know this, that all those in Asia have turned away from me, of which are Phugelos and Hermogenes.16 The Prince should give mercy to the house of Onesiphoros, because often he refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains,17 but being in Rome eagerly sought and found me.18 The Prince should give to him to find appropriate mercy in that day. And how much he has served in Ephesos, you would know better.
