2 Timóteo 1

1Paulo, apóstolo de Cristo Jesus, pela vontade de Deus, segundo a promessa da vida que está em Cristo Jesus, 2a Timóteo, meu amado filho. Graça, misericórdia, e paz, da parte de Deus Pai, e de Cristo Jesus, nosso Senhor. 3Agradeço a Deus, a quem desde os meus antepassados sirvo com uma consciência pura, de que sem cessar tenho memória de ti nas minhas orações noite e dia. 4Lembro-me das tuas lágrimas, e desejo muito te ver, para me encher de alegria; 5Trago à memória a fé não fingida que há em ti, fé que habitou primeiro na tua avó Loide, e na tua mãe Eunice; e tenho certeza que também em ti. 6Por essa causa lembro-te de reacenderes o dom de Deus que está em ti pela imposição das minhas mãos. 7Pois Deus não nos deu espírito de medo; mas sim de força, de amor, e de moderação. 8Portanto não te envergonhes do testemunho do nosso Senhor, nem de mim, que sou prisioneiro dele; em vez disso, participa das aflições do Evangelho segundo o poder de Deus. 9Ele nos salvou, e chamou com um chamado santo; não conforme as nossas obras, mas sim, conforme a sua própria intenção, e a graça que nos foi dada em Cristo Jesus antes dos princípios dos tempos; 10mas agora é manifesta pela aparição do nosso Salvador Cristo Jesus, que anulou a morte, e trouxe para a luz a vida e a imortalidade por meio do evangelho; 11do qual eu fui constituído pregador e apóstolo, e instrutor. 12Por causa disso também sofro essas coisas; porém não me envergonho. Pois sei em quem tenho crido, e tenho certeza de que ele é poderoso para guardar o que lhe confiei até aquele dia. 13Preserva o exemplo das sãs palavras que tens ouvido de mim, na fé e no amor que há em Cristo Jesus. 14Guarda o bem que te foi confiado por meio do Espírito Santo que habita em nós. 15Sabes isto, que todos os que estão na Ásia Romana me abandonaram, entre os quais estavam Fígelo e Hermógenes. 16O Senhor conceda misericórdia à casa de Onesíforo, pois muitas vezes ele me consolou, e não se envergonhou de eu estar em cadeias; 17Pelo contrário, quando veio a Roma, com muito empenho me procurou, e me encontrou. 18O Senhor lhe conceda que naquele dia ele encontre misericórdia diante do Senhor. E tu sabes muito bem como ele me ajudou em Éfeso.

1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus, 2to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. 3I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day 4longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy; 5having been reminded of the sincere faith that is in you; which lived first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and, I am persuaded, in you also. 6For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. 8Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God, 9who 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 times eternal, 10but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News. 11For this, I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. 12For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day. 13Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 14That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us. 15This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. 16May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain, 17but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me 18(the Lord grant to him to find the Lord’s mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.

1Paulus, een apostel van Jezus Christus, door den wil van God, naar de belofte des levens, dat in Christus Jezus is, 2Aan Timotheus, mijn geliefden zoon: genade, barmhartigheid, vrede zij u van God den Vader, en Christus Jezus, onzen Heere. 3Ik dank God, Wien ik diene van mijn voorouderen aan in een rein geweten, gelijk ik zonder ophouden uwer gedachtig ben in mijn gebeden nacht en dag; 4Zeer begerig zijnde om u te zien, als ik gedenk aan uw tranen, opdat ik met blijdschap moge vervuld worden; 5Als ik mij in gedachtenis breng het ongeveinsd geloof, dat in u is, hetwelk eerst gewoond heeft in uw grootmoeder Lois, en in uw moeder Eunice; en ik ben verzekerd, dat het ook in u woont. 6Om welke oorzaak ik u indachtig maak, dat gij opwekt de gave Gods, die in u is, door de oplegging mijner handen. 7Want God heeft ons niet gegeven een geest der vreesachtigheid, maar der kracht, en der liefde, en der gematigdheid. 8Schaam u dan niet der getuigenis onzes Heeren, noch mijns, die Zijn gevangene ben; maar lijd verdrukkingen met het Evangelie, naar de kracht Gods; 9Die ons heeft zalig gemaakt, en geroepen met een heilige roeping; niet naar onze werken, maar naar Zijn eigen voornemen en genade, die ons gegeven is in Christus Jezus, voor de tijden der eeuwen; 10Doch nu geopenbaard is door de verschijning van onzen Zaligmaker Jezus Christus, Die den dood heeft te niet gedaan, en het leven en de onverderfelijkheid aan het licht gebracht door het Evangelie; 11Waartoe ik gesteld ben een prediker, en een apostel, en een leraar der heidenen; 12Om welke oorzaak ik ook deze dingen lijde, maar word niet beschaamd; want ik weet, Wien ik geloofd heb, en ik ben verzekerd, dat Hij machtig is, mijn pand, bij Hem weggelegd, te bewaren tot dien dag. 13Houd het voorbeeld der gezonde woorden, die gij van mij gehoord hebt, in geloof en liefde, die in Christus Jezus is. 14Bewaar het goede pand, dat u toebetrouwd is, door den Heiligen Geest, Die in ons woont. 15Gij weet dit, dat allen, die in Azie zijn, zich van mij afgewend hebben; onder dewelke is Fygellus en Hermogenes. 16De Heere geve den huize van Onesiforus barmhartigheid; want hij heeft mij dikmaals verkwikt, en heeft zich mijner keten niet geschaamd. 17Maar als hij te Rome gekomen was, heeft hij mij zeer naarstiglijk gezocht, en heeft mij gevonden. 18De Heere geve hem, dat hij barmhartigheid vinde bij den Heere, in dien dag; en hoeveel hij mij te Efeze gediend heeft, weet gij zeer wel.
