3. I am thankful to God, whom I have served with a clear conscience as my ancestors did, when I remember you in my prayers as I do constantly night and day.
|
3. I thank G2192 G5485 God G2316 , whom G3739 I serve G3000 from G575 my forefathers G4269 with G1722 pure G2513 conscience G4893 , that G5613 without ceasing G88 I have G2192 remembrance G3417 of G4012 thee G4675 in G1722 my G3450 prayers G1162 night G3571 and G2532 day G2250 ;
|
|
4. As I remember your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy.
|
4. Greatly desiring G1971 to see G1492 thee G4571 , being mindful G3415 of thy G4675 tears G1144 , that G2443 I may be filled G4137 with joy G5479 ;
|
|
5. I recall your sincere faith that was alive first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and I am sure is in you.
|
5. When I call G2983 to remembrance G5280 the G3588 unfeigned G505 faith G4102 that G3588 is in G1722 thee G4671 , which G3748 dwelt G1774 first G4412 in G1722 thy G4675 grandmother G3125 Lois G3090 , and G2532 thy G4675 mother G3384 Eunice G2131 ; and G1161 I am persuaded G3982 that G3754 in G1722 thee G4671 also G2532 .
|
|
6. Because of this I remind you to rekindle God's gift that you possess through the laying on of my hands.
|

|
|
7. For God did not give us a Spirit of fear but of power and love and self-control.
|
7. For G1063 God G2316 hath not G3756 given G1325 us G2254 the spirit G4151 of fear G1167 ; but G235 of power G1411 , and G2532 of love G26 , and G2532 of a sound mind G4995 .
|
|
8. So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me, a prisoner for his sake, but by God's power accept your share of suffering for the gospel.
|
8. Be not G3361 thou therefore G3767 ashamed G1870 of the G3588 testimony G3142 of our G2257 Lord G2962 , nor G3366 of me G1691 his G846 prisoner G1198 : but G235 be thou partaker of the afflictions G4777 of the G3588 gospel G2098 according G2596 to the power G1411 of God G2316 ;
|
|
9. He is the one who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not based on our works but on his own purpose and grace, granted to us in Christ Jesus before time began,
|
9. Who hath saved G4982 us G2248 , and G2532 called G2564 us with a holy G40 calling G2821 , not G3756 according G2596 to our G2257 works G2041 , but G235 according G2596 to his own G2398 purpose G4286 and G2532 grace G5485 , which was given G1325 us G2254 in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 before G4253 the world began G5550 G166 ,
|
|
10. but now made visible through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus. He has broken the power of death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel!
|
10. But G1161 is now G3568 made manifest G5319 by G1223 the G3588 appearing G2015 of our G2257 Savior G4990 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 , who hath abolished G2673 G3303 death G2288 , and G1161 hath brought life and immortality to light G5461 G2222 G2532 G861 through G1223 the G3588 gospel G2098 :
|
|
11. For this gospel I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher.
|
11. Whereunto G1519 G3739 I G1473 am appointed G5087 a preacher G2783 , and G2532 an apostle G652 , and G2532 a teacher G1320 of the Gentiles G1484 .
|
|
12. Because of this, in fact, I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, because I know the one in whom my faith is set and I am convinced that he is able to protect what has been entrusted to me until that day.
|
12. For G1223 the which G3739 cause G156 I also G2532 suffer G3958 these things G5023 : nevertheless G235 I am not G3756 ashamed G1870 : for G1063 I know G1492 whom G3739 I have believed G4100 , and G2532 am persuaded G3982 that G3754 he is G2076 able G1415 to keep G5442 that which I have committed unto him G3866 G3450 against G1519 that G1565 day G2250 .
|
|
13. Hold to the standard of sound words that you heard from me and do so with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
|
13. Hold fast G2192 the form G5296 of sound G5198 words G3056 , which G3739 thou hast heard G191 of G3844 me G1700 , in G1722 faith G4102 and G2532 love G26 which G3588 is in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 .
|
|
14. Protect that good thing entrusted to you, through the Holy Spirit who lives within us.
|
14. That good thing G2570 which was committed unto thee G3872 keep G5442 by G1223 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 which dwelleth G1774 in G1722 us G2254 .
|
|
15. You know that everyone in the province of Asia deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
|
15. This G5124 thou knowest G1492 , that G3754 all G3956 they which G3588 are in G1722 Asia G773 be turned away from G654 me G3165 ; of whom G3739 are G2076 Phygellus G5436 and G2532 Hermogenes G2061 .
|
|
16. May the Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my imprisonment.
|
16. The G3588 Lord G2962 give G1325 mercy G1656 unto the G3588 house G3624 of Onesiphorus G3683 ; for G3754 he oft G4178 refreshed G404 me G3165 , and G2532 was not G3756 ashamed G1870 of my G3450 chain G254 :
|
|
17. But when he arrived in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me.
|
17. But G235 , when he was G1096 in G1722 Rome G4516 , he sought me out G2212 G3165 very diligently G4706 , and G2532 found G2147 me.
|
|
18. May the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on that day! And you know very well all the ways he served me in Ephesus.
|
18. The G3588 Lord G2962 grant G1325 unto him G846 that he may find G2147 mercy G1656 of G3844 the Lord G2962 in G1722 that G1565 day G2250 : and G2532 in how many things G3745 he ministered unto G1247 me at G1722 Ephesus G2181 , thou G4771 knowest G1097 very well G957 .
