2 Timothy
Chapters 1:1-5
Revised Version 1885
1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
2to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers in a pure conscience, how unceasing is my remembrance of thee in my supplications, night and day
4longing to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in thee; which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and, I am persuaded, in thee also.
