The Second Letter of Saint Paul to Timothy 1: 1-8

1:1 פול, an Apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, in accord with the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
1:2 to Timothy, most beloved son. Grace, mercy, שָׁלוֹם, from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Lord.
1:3 I give thanks to God, whom I serve, as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. For without ceasing I hold the remembrance of you in my prayers, לילה ויום,
1:4 desiring to see you, recalling your tears so as to be filled with joy,
1:5 calling to mind the same faith, which is in you unfeigned, which also first dwelt in your grandmother, Lois, and in your mother, Eunice, וגם, I am certain, in you.
1:6 בגלל זה, I admonish you to revive the grace of God, which is in you by the imposition of my hands.
1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of virtue, and of love, and of self-restraint.
1:8 וכך, do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me, his prisoner. במקום זאת, collaborate with the Gospel in accord with the virtue of God,
