2 Timothy 1

HNV

MSG

1 Sha'ul, an apostle of Yeshua the Messiah through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Messiah Yeshua,
1 I, Paul, am on special assignment for Christ, carrying out God's plan laid out in the Message of Life by Jesus.
2 to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and shalom, from God, the Father, and Messiah Yeshua, our Lord.
2 I write this to you, Timothy, the son I love so much. All the best from our God and Christ be yours!
3 I 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
3 Every time I say your name in prayer - which is practically all the time - I thank God for you, the God I worship with my whole life in the tradition of my ancestors.
4 longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;
4 I miss you a lot, especially when I remember that last tearful good-bye, and I look forward to a joy-packed reunion.
5 having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in you; which lived first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and, I am persuaded, in you also.
5 That precious memory triggers another: your honest faith - and what a rich faith it is, handed down from your grandmother Lois to your mother Eunice, and now to you!
6 For 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.
6 And the special gift of ministry you received when I laid hands on you and prayed - keep that ablaze!
7 For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and discipline.
7 God doesn't want us to be shy with his gifts, but bold and loving and sensible.
8 Don't be ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me, his prisoner; but suffer hardship with the Good News according to the power of God,
8 So don't be embarrassed to speak up for our Master or for me, his prisoner. Take your share of suffering for the Message along with the rest of us. We can only keep on going, after all, by the power of God,
9 who 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 Messiah Yeshua before times eternal,
9 who first saved us and then called us to this holy work. We had nothing to do with it. It was all his idea, a gift prepared for us in Jesus long before we knew anything about it.
10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Messiah Yeshua, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.
10 But we know it now. Since the appearance of our Savior, nothing could be plainer: death defeated, life vindicated in a steady blaze of light, all through the work of Jesus.
11 For this, I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Goyim.
11 This is the Message I've been set apart to proclaim as preacher, emissary, and teacher.
12 For this cause I suffer also 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.
12 It's also the cause of all this trouble I'm in. But I have no regrets. I couldn't be more sure of my ground - the One I've trusted in can take care of what he's trusted me to do right to the end.
13 Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Messiah Yeshua.
13 So keep at your work, this faith and love rooted in Christ, exactly as I set it out for you. It's as sound as the day you first heard it from me.
14 That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Ruach HaKodesh which dwells in us.
14 Guard this precious thing placed in your custody by the Holy Spirit who works in us.
15 This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
15 I'm sure you know by now that everyone in the province of Asia deserted me, even Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
16 But God bless Onesiphorus and his family! Many's the time I've been refreshed in that house. And he wasn't embarrassed a bit that I was in jail.
17 but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me
17 The first thing he did when he got to Rome was look me up.
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.
18 May God on the Last Day treat him as well as he treated me. And then there was all the help he provided in Ephesus - but you know that better than I.
