2 Timothée 1.10
English standard version

Salutation et louange

¹ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God according to the promise of the life that is in Christ Jesus,
² To Timothy, my beloved child:
Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
³ I thank God whom I serve, as did my ancestors, with a clear conscience, as I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day.
⁴ As I remember your tears, I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy.
⁵ I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well.

Encouragement à la fidélité

⁶ For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands,
⁷ for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
⁸ Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God,
⁹ who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began,
¹⁰ and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,
¹¹ for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher,
¹² which is why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that day what has been entrusted to me.
¹³ Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
¹⁴ By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you.
¹⁵ You are aware that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
¹⁶ May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains,
¹⁷ but when he arrived in Rome he searched for me earnestly and found me&emdash;
¹⁸ may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on that day!&emdash;and you well know all the service he rendered at Ephesus.
