2 Timothy Chapter 1

1:1 Paul, an emissary of Mẽssiah Yẽshua by the will of the Almĩghty, according to the promise of life in Mẽssiah Yẽshua, 2 to Timothy, my beloved son: lovingkindness, mercy and peace from the Almĩghty the Fãther and Mẽssiah Yẽshua our Adõnai. 3 I thank the Almĩghty, whom I serve with a clear conscience the way my forefathers did, as I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day, 4 longing to see you, even as I recall your tears, so that I may be filled with joy. 5 For I am mindful of the sincere faithfulness within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and I am sure that it is in you as well. 6 And for this reason I remind you to kindle afresh the gift of the Almĩghty which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For the Almĩghty has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline. 8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Adõnai, or of me his prisoner; but join with me in suffering for the good news according to the power of the Almĩghty, 9 who saves us, and calls with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose—even lovingkindness which was given to us by Mẽssiah Yẽshua in times before—times most immemorial, 10 but now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Mẽssiah Yẽshua, who undoes death, and brings life and immortality to light through the good news, 11 for which I am appointed a proclaimer and an emissary and a teacher. 12 For this reason I also am suffering these things, but I am not being ashamed; for I know to whom I am committed and I am convinced that he is able to guard my trust unto that day. 13 Retain the standard of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faithfulness and love which are in Mẽssiah Yẽshua. 14 The good trust guardeth thou, through the Holy Spĩrit who dwells in us. 15 You are aware of the fact that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. 16 Yãhweh grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chains; 17 but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me, and found me— 18 Yãhweh grant to him to find mercy from Yãhweh on that day— and you know very well what services he rendered at Ephesus.

2 Timothy Chapter 2

2:1 You therefore, my son, be strong in the loving-kindness that is in Mẽssiah Yẽshua. 2 And the things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, these entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also. 3 Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Mẽssiah Yẽshua. 4 No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier. 5 And also if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not win the prize unless he competes according to the rules. 6 The hard-working farmer ought to be the first to receive his share of the crops. 7 Consider what I say, for Yãhweh will give you understanding in everything. 8 Remember Yẽshua the Mẽssiah, risen from the dead, descendant of David, according to my good news, 9 for which I suffer hardship even to imprisonment as a criminal; but the word of the Almĩghty is not imprisoned. 10 For this reason I endure all things for the sake of those who are chosen, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Mẽssiah Yẽshua and with it enduring glory. 11 It is a trustworthy statement: for if we died with him, we shall also live with him; 12 if we endure, we shall also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us; 13 if we are faithless, he remains faithful; for he cannot deny himself. 14 Remind them of these things, and solemnly charge them in the presence of the Almĩghty not to wrangle about words, which is useless, and leads to the ruin of the hearers. 15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to the Almĩghty as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, handling accuratel the word of truth. 16 But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness, 17 and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, 18 men who have gone astray from the truth saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and thus they upset the faithfulness of some. 19 Nevertheless, the firm foundation of the Almĩghty stands, having this seal, “Yãhweh knows those who are his,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Yãhweh abstain from wickedness.” 20 Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and of earthenware, and some to honor and some to dishonor. 21 Therefore, if a man cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work. 22 Now flee from youthful lusts, and pursue justic, faithfulness, love and peace, with those who call on Yãhweh from a pure heart. 23 But refuse foolish and ignorant speculations, knowing that they produce quarrels. 24 And Yãhweh’s bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, 25 with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps the Almĩghty may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, 26 and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.

2 Timothy Chapter 3

3:1 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. 2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, 4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of the Almĩghty; 5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; and avoid such men as these. 6 For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 And just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected as regards the covenant faithfulness. 9 But they will not make further progress; for their folly will be obvious to all, as also that of those two came to be. 10 But you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faithfulness, patience, love, perseverance, 11 persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of them all Yãhweh delivered me! 12 And indeed, all who desire to live godly in Mẽssiah Yẽshua will be persecuted. 13 But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them; 15 and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faithfulness which is in Mẽssiah Yẽshua. 16 All Scripture is inspired by the Almĩghty and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousnes; 17 that the man of the Almĩghty may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy Chapter 4

4:1 I solemnly charge you in the presence of the Almĩghty and of Mẽssiah Yẽshua, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2 proclaim the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires; 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and will turn aside to myths. 5 But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. 6 For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the covenant faithfulness; 8 in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousnes, which Yãhweh, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved his appearing. 9 Make every effort to come to me soon; 10 for Demas, having loved this present age, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke is with me. Pick up Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service. 12 But Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus. 13 When you come bring the cloak which I left at Troas with Carpus, and the scrolls, especially the parchments. 14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm; Yãhweh will repay him according to his deeds. 15 Be on guard against him yourself, for he vigorously opposed our teaching. 16 At my first defense no one supported me, but all deserted me; may it not be considered against them. 17 But Yãhweh stood with me, and strengthened me, in order that through me the proclamation might be fully accomplished, and that all the peoples might hear; and I was delivered out of the lion’s mouth. 18 Yãhweh will deliver me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom; to him be the glory till onward of the times most immemorial of the times most immemorial. Amćn. 19 Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. 20 Erastus remained at Corinth, but Trophimus I left sick at Miletus. 21 Make every effort to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, also Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brothers. 22 Yãhweh be with your spirit. Loving-Kindness be with you.
