2 Timoteo 1

1Pablo, apóstol de Cristo Jesús, por la voluntad de Dios, según la promesa de vida en Cristo Jesús,

2a Timoteo el hijo amado: gracia, misericordia, paz, de parte de Dios Padre, y de Cristo Jesús nuestro Señor.

3Doy gracias a Dios, a quien sirvo desde mis mayores con conciencia pura, de cómo sin cesar hago memoria de ti en mis oraciones, noche y día,

4anhelando verte, al acordarme de tus lágrimas, para llenarme de gozo;

5porque traigo a la memoria la fe, que en ti no es fingida, la cual habitó primero en tu abuela Loida y en tu madre Eunice y que estoy seguro habita también en ti.

6Por esto te exhorto a que reavives el carisma de Dios que por medio de la imposición de mis manos está en ti.

7Porque no nos ha dado Dios espíritu de timidez, sino de fortaleza y de amor y de templanza.

8No te avergüences, pues, del testimonio de nuestro Señor, ni de mí, su prisionero, antes bien comparte mis trabajos por la causa del Evangelio mediante el poder de Dios;

9el cual nos salvó y nos llamó con vocación santa, no en virtud de nuestras obras, sino en virtud de su propio designio y de la gracia que nos dio en Cristo Jesús antes de los tiempos eternos,

10y que ahora ha manifestado por la aparición de nuestro Salvador Cristo Jesús, que aniquiló la muerte e irradió la vida e inmortalidad por medio del Evangelio,

11del cual yo fui constituido heraldo y apóstol y doctor.

12Por cuya causa padezco estas cosas, mas no me avergüenzo, puesto que sé a quién he creído, y estoy cierto de que Él es poderoso para guardar mi depósito hasta aquel día.

13Conserva las palabras saludables en la misma forma que de mí las oíste con fe y amor en Cristo Jesús.

14Guarda el buen depósito por medio del Espíritu Santo que habita en nosotros.

15Ya sabes que me han abandonado todos los de Asia, de cuyo número son Figelo y Hermógenes.

16Conceda el Señor misericordia a la casa de Onesíforo, porque muchas veces me alivió y no se avergonzó de mis cadenas;

17antes, llegado a Roma, me buscó diligentemente hasta dar conmigo.

18Concédale el Señor que halle misericordia delante del Señor en aquel día. ¡Y cuántos servicios me prestó en Éfeso! Tú lo sabes muy bien.

1Paulus Apostolus Jesu Christi per voluntatem Dei, secundum promissionem vitæ, quæ est in Christo Jesu,

2Timotheo carissimo filio: gratia, misericordia, pax a Deo Patre, et Christo Jesu Domino nostro.

3Gratias ago Deo, cui servio a progenitoribus in conscientia pura, quod sine intermissione habeam tui memoriam in orationibus meis, nocte ac die

4desiderans te videre, memor lacrimarum tuarum, ut gaudio implear,

5recordationem accipiens ejus fidei, quæ est in te non ficta, quæ et habitavit primum in avia tua Loide, et matre tua Eunice, certus sum autem quod et in te.

6Propter quam causam admoneo te ut resuscites gratiam Dei, quæ est in te per impositionem manuum mearum.

7Non enim dedit nobis Deus spiritum timoris: sed virtutis, et dilectionis, et sobrietatis.

8Noli itaque erubescere testimonium Domini nostri, neque me vinctum ejus: sed collabora Evangelio secundum virtutem Dei:

9qui nos liberavit, et vocavit vocatione sua sancta, non secundum opera nostra, sed secundum propositum suum, et gratiam, quæ data est nobis in Christo Jesu ante tempora sæcularia.

10Manifestata est autem nunc per illuminationem Salvatoris nostri Jesu Christi, qui destruxit quidem mortem, illuminavit autem vitam, et incorruptionem per Evangelium:

11in quo positus sum ego prædicator, et Apostolus, et magister gentium.

12Ob quam causam etiam hæc patior, sed non confundor. Scio enim cui credidi, et certus sum quia potens est depositum meum servare in illum diem.

13Formam habe sanorum verborum, quæ a me audisti in fide, et in dilectione in Christo Jesu.

14Bonum depositum custodi per Spiritum Sanctum, qui habitat in nobis.

15Scis hoc, quod aversi sunt a me omnes, qui in Asia sunt, ex quibus est Phigellus, et Hermogenes.

16Det misericordiam Dominus Onesiphori domui: quia sæpe me refrigeravit, et catenam meam non erubuit:

17sed cum Romam venisset, sollicite me quæsivit, et invenit.

18Det illi Dominus invenire misericordiam a Domino in illa die. Et quanta Ephesi ministravit mihi, tu melius nosti.

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

2To Timothy my dearly beloved son, grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord.

3I give thanks to God, whom I serve from my forefathers with a pure conscience, that without ceasing, I have a remembrance of thee in my prayers, night and day.

4Desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy,

5Calling to mind that faith which is in thee unfeigned, which also dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice, and I am certain that in thee also.

6For which cause I admonish thee, that thou stir up the grace of God which is in thee, by the imposition of my hands.

7For God hath not given us the spirit of fear: but of power, and of love, and of sobriety.

8Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but labour with the gospel, according to the power of God,

9Who hath delivered us and called us by his holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the times of the world.

10But is now made manifest by the illumination of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath destroyed death, and hath brought to light life and incorruption by the gospel:

11Wherein I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and teacher of the Gentiles.

12For which cause I also suffer these things: but I am not ashamed. For I know whom I have believed, and I am certain that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him, against that day.

13Hold the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me in faith, and in the love which is in Christ Jesus.

14Keep the good thing committed to thy trust by the Holy Ghost, who dwelleth in us.

15Thou knowest this, that all they who are in Asia, are turned away from me: of whom are Phigellus and Hermogenes.

16The Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus: because he hath often refreshed me, and hath not been ashamed of my chain:

17But when he was come to Rome, he carefully sought me, and found me.

18The Lord grant unto him to find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou very well knowest.
