1:1 Paul, [the] apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, by the promise of life [after the promise of life] that is in Christ Jesus, 1:2 to Timothy, his most dear-worthy son, grace, mercy, and peace of God the Father, and of Jesus Christ, our Lord [and Jesus Christ, our Lord]. 1:3 I do thankings to my God, to whom I serve from my progenitors [from my progenitors, either ancestors ,] in clean conscience, that without ceasing I have mind of thee in my prayers, night and day, 1:4 desiring to see thee; having mind of thy tears [mindful of thy tears], that I be filled with joy. 1:5 And I bethink of that faith [And I take recording, or mind, of that faith], that is in thee not feigned, which also dwelled first in thine aunt Lois, and in thy mother Eunice. And I am certain, that also in thee. 1:6 For which cause I admonish thee, that thou raise again the grace of God, that is in thee by the setting on of mine hands [by the on-putting of mine hands]. 1:7 For why [Soothly] God gave not to us the spirit of dread, but of virtue, and of love, and of soberness. 1:8 Therefore do not thou shame the witnessing of our Lord Jesus Christ, neither me, his prisoner; but travail thou together in the gospel by the virtue of God [after the virtue of God]; 1:9 that delivered us, and called with his holy calling, not after our works, but by his purpose and grace [that delivered us, and called with this holy calling, not after our works, but after his purpose and grace], that is given [to us] in Christ Jesus before worldly times; 1:10 but now it is open by the lightening of our Saviour Jesus Christ, which destroyed death, and lightened life and uncorruption by the gospel. [now forsooth it is open by the lighting of our Saviour Jesus Christ, the which soothly destroyed death, forsooth lighted life and uncorruption by the gospel.] 1:11 In which I am set a preacher and apostle, and master of heathen men. 1:12 For which cause also I suffer these things; but I am not confounded. For I know to whom I have believed, and I am certain that he is mighty to keep that (which) is taken to my keeping into that day. 1:13 Have thou the form of wholesome words [Have thou the form of whole words], which thou heardest of me in faith and love in Christ Jesus. 1:14 Keep thou the good [ thing ] taken to thy keeping by the Holy Ghost [Keep thou a good deposit, or thing taken to thy keeping , by the Holy Ghost], that dwelleth in us. 1:15 Thou knowest this, that all that be in Asia be turned away from me, of which is Phygellus and Hermogenes [of whom is Phygellus and Hermogenes]. 1:16 The Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for oft he refreshed me, and shamed not my chain. 1:17 But when he came to Rome, he sought me busily, and found [ me ]. 1:18 The Lord give to him to find mercy of God in that day. And how great things he ministered to me at Ephesus, thou knowest better.
