2 Timothy 1
Paul's love to Timothy, and the unfeigned faith which was in Timothy himself, his mother, and grandmother.
2 Timothy 1:1 Paul an Apostle of Iesus Christ, by the wyll of God, accordynge to the promes of lyfe which is in Christ Iesu. 2 Timothy 1:2 To Timothe hys beloued sonne. Grace mercy and peace from God the father, & from Iesu Christ our Lorde. 2 Timothy 1:3 I thanke God, whom I serue from myne elders with pure conscience, that without anye ceasynge I make mencyon of the in my prayers nyght and daye, 2 Timothy 1:4 desyringe to se the, myndefull of thy teares: so that I am fylled with ioye, 2 Timothy 1:5 when I call to remembraunce the vnfayned fayth that is in the, which dwelt fyrst in thy graundmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunica: & I am assured that it dwelleth in the also.
He is exhorted to stir up the gift of God which was in him,
2 Timothy 1:6 Wherfore I warne the that thou stere vp the gyfte of God which is in þe by the puttynge on of my handes. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not geuen to vs the sprete of feare: but of power, and of loue, and of sobrenes.
to be stedfast, and patient in persecution,
2 Timothy 1:8 Be not thou therfore ashamed of the testimony of oure Lorde, nether be ashamed of me whych am his presoner: but suffre thou aduersytie with the Gospell, accordynge to þe power of God, 2 Timothy 1:9 which saued vs, and called vs with an holy callynge, not accordynge to oure dedes, but accordynge to his awne purpose & grace, whych was geuen vs thorowe Christ Iesu (before the worlde beganne) 2 Timothy 1:10 but is nowe declared openly by þe appearynge of oure sauyour Iesu Christ whych hath put awaye deeth, and hath brought lyfe and immortalite vnto lyght thorowe the Gospell, 2 Timothy 1:11 whervnto I am apoynted, a preacher & Apostle, and a teacher of the Gentyls: 2 Timothy 1:12 for the whych cause I also suffre these thynges. Neuerthelesse, I am not ashamed. For I knowe, and am sure, that he (in whom I haue put my trust) is able to kepe that whych I haue committed to hys kepynge, agaynst that daye.
and to persist in the form and truth of that doctrine which he had learned of him.
2 Timothy 1:13 Se that thou haue the ensample of the holsome wordes, whych thou hast hearde of me with fayth and loue that is in Christ Iesu. 2 Timothy 1:14 That good thynge, whych was committed to thy kepynge, holde fast thorowe þe holy goost, which dwelleth in vs.
Phygellus and Hermogenes, and such like, are noted, and Onesiphorus is highly commended.
2 Timothy 1:15 This þu knowest, howe that all they which are in Asia, be turned from me: of whych sorte are Phigelus and Hermogenes. 2 Timothy 1:16 The Lorde geue mercye vnto the housholde of Onesyphorus for he ofte refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chayne: 2 Timothy 1:17 but when he was at Rome, he sought me out very diligently, & founde me. 2 Timothy 1:18 The Lorde graunt vnto hym that he maye fynde mercye with the Lorde at that daye. And in howe many thynges he ministred vnto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
