2 Timothy 1

The Message Bible MSG

1 I, Paul, am on special assignment for Christ, carrying out God's plan laid out in the Message of Life by Jesus.

2 I write this to you, Timothy, the son I love so much. All the best from our God and Christ be yours!

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 I miss you a lot, especially when I remember that last tearful good-bye, and I look forward to a joy-packed reunion.

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 And the special gift of ministry you received when I laid hands on you and prayed - keep that ablaze!

7 God doesn't want us to be shy with his gifts, but bold and loving and sensible.

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 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 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 This is the Message I've been set apart to proclaim as preacher, emissary, and teacher.

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 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 Guard this precious thing placed in your custody by the Holy Spirit who works in us.

15 I'm sure you know by now that everyone in the province of Asia deserted me, even Phygelus and Hermogenes.

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 The first thing he did when he got to Rome was look me up.

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.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 Paulus apostolus Christi Iesu per voluntatem Dei secundum promissionem vitae quae est in Christo Iesu

2 Timotheo carissimo filio gratia misericordia pax a Deo Patre et Christo Iesu Domino nostro

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

4 desiderans te videre memor lacrimarum tuarum ut gaudio implear

5 recordationem accipiens eius fidei quae est in te non ficta quae et habitavit primum in avia tua Loide et matre tua Eunice certus sum autem quod et in te

6 propter quam causam admoneo te ut resuscites gratiam Dei quae est in te per inpositionem manuum mearum

7 non enim dedit nobis Deus spiritum timoris sed virtutis et dilectionis et sobrietatis

8 noli itaque erubescere testimonium Domini nostri neque me vinctum eius sed conlabora evangelio secundum virtutem Dei

9 qui nos liberavit et vocavit vocatione sancta non secundum opera nostra sed secundum propositum suum et gratiam quae data est nobis in Christo Iesu ante tempora saecularia

10 manifestata est autem nunc per inluminationem salvatoris nostri Iesu Christi qui destruxit quidem mortem inluminavit autem vitam et incorruptionem per evangelium

11 in quo positus sum ego praedicator et apostolus et magister gentium

12 ob quam causam etiam haec patior sed non confundor scio enim cui credidi et certus sum quia potens est depositum meum servare in illum diem

13 formam habe sanorum verborum quae a me audisti in fide et dilectione in Christo Iesu

14 bonum depositum custodi per Spiritum Sanctum qui habitat in nobis

15 scis hoc quod aversi sunt a me omnes qui in Asia sunt ex quibus est Phygelus et Hermogenes

16 det misericordiam Dominus Onesifori domui quia saepe me refrigeravit et catenam meam non erubuit

17 sed cum Romam venisset sollicite me quaesivit et invenit

18 det illi Dominus invenire misericordiam a Domino in illa die et quanta Ephesi ministravit melius tu nosti
