1 Paul an Apostle of Iesus Christe by the wyll of God, according to the promise of lyfe, which is in Christ Iesus, 2 To Timothie a beloued sonne: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the father, and Christe Iesus our Lorde. 3 I thanke God whom I worshippe from my forefathers in pure conscience, that without ceassyng I haue remembrauce of thee in my prayers night & day 4 Desiryng to see thee, myndefull of thy teares: that I may be fylled with ioy. 5 When I call to remembraunce the vnfaigned fayth that is in thee, whiche dwelt first in thy graundmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunica: and I am assured that it dwelleth in thee also. 6 Wherfore I put thee in remebraunce that thou stirre vp the gyft of God, which is in thee by the puttyng on of my handes. 7 For God hath not geuen to vs the spirite of feare: but of power, and of loue, and of a sounde mynde. 8 Be not thou therfore ashamed of the testimonie of our Lorde, neither of me his prisoner: but suffer thou aduersitie with the Gospell, accordyng to the power of God, 9 Who hath saued vs, & called vs with an holy callyng, not accordyng to our workes: but accordyng to his owne purpose and grace, which was geuen vs in Christe Iesus, before the world began: 10 But is nowe made manifest by the appearyng of our sauiour Iesus Christ, who hath put away death, and hath brought life and immortalitie vnto light through the Gospell: 2 Timothy 1:1-10, Bishops' Bible of 1568.
