          DASV: 2 Timothy 1    

1 From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,
according to the promise of the life that is in Christ Jesus,
2 To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God
the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 I thank God, with a pure conscience whom I serve, just as my
forefathers did, when day and night I constantly remember you
in my prayers.
4 I long to see you, remembering your tears, so that I may be
filled with joy.
5 I am reminded of your genuine faith; which first lived in your
grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice; and, I am convinced,
is now in you too.
6 Because of this I remind you that you fan into flames the gift
of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
7 For God did not give us not a spirit of fear; but of power,
love and self-control.
8 So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, or of me,
his prisoner, but suffer hardship for the gospel by to the power
of God.
9 He saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not because
of our works, but according to his own purpose and grace,
which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time begin.
10 But it has now been made visible by the appearing of our
Savior Christ Jesus. He has destroyed death, and brought
life and immortality to light through the gospel.
11 For this Good News I was appointed a preacher, an apostle,
and a teacher.
12 Because of this I also suffer these things. Yet I am not
ashamed, because I know the one in whom I have believed, and I
am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed
to him until that day.
13 Hold to the standard sound teaching which you have heard from
me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 Guard that good deposit which was entrusted unto you through
the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
15 You know, that everyone in the province of Asia deserted me;
including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 May the Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus, for
he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chains.
17 But, when he was in Rome, he vigorously searched for and found
me.
18 May the Lord grant that he find mercy from the Lord on that
day. Now you know full well how much he helped me at Ephesus.
