1 Paul (humble), an apostle (sent one) of Christ (the Anointed One) Jesus (YHWH saves) by the will of God {Theou}, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus, 2 To Timothy (honoring God), my beloved {agapētō} child: Grace, mercy (compassion), and peace from God {Theou} the Father and Christ (the Anointed One) Jesus (YHWH saves) our Lord {Kyriou}. 3 I thank God {Theō}, whom I serve with a clear conscience as did my forefathers, as I constantly remember you night and day in my prayers. 4 Recalling your tears, I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy. 5 I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois (more desirable) and your mother Eunice (good victory), and I am convinced is in you as well. 6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God {Theou}, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For God {Theos} has not given us a spirit {pneuma} of fear (timidity), but of power {dynameōs}, love {agapēs}, and self-control. 8 So do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord {Kyriou}, or of me, His prisoner. Instead, join me in suffering for the gospel (good news) by the power {dynamin} of God {Theou}. 9 He has saved us and called us to a holy (set apart) calling, not because of our works (acts), but by His own purpose and by the grace He granted us in Christ (the Anointed One) Jesus (YHWH saves) before time began \before times eternal/. 10 And now He has revealed this grace through the appearing of our Savior, Christ (the Anointed One) Jesus (YHWH saves), who has abolished death and illuminated the way to life and immortality through the gospel (good news), 11 to which I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle (sent one), and a teacher {didaskalos}. 2 Timothy 1:1-11, Berean Annotated Bible.
