1 Paul, an emissary of Messiah Yeshua through the will of God, according to the promise of life in Messiah Yeshua.
2 To Timothy my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and shalom from God the Father and Messiah Yeshua our Lord!
3 I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience as my forefathers did, when I continually remember you in my prayers night and day.
4 I remember your tears, and I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy.
