Update:  20230115

 

2 Tim. 1:1 (LIT/UBS4) Paul (Paulos), [an] apostle (apostolos) of Christ (Christou) Jesus (Iēsou) through (dia) [a] desire (thelēmatos) of God (theou), down according to (kat’) [the] promise (epangelian) of life (zōēs), of the (tēs) [life, AE] in (en) Christ (Christō) Jesus (Iēsou),

 

2 Tim. 1:2 (LIT/UBS4) to Timothy (Timotheō), [a] beloved (agapētō) born one (teknō), grace (charis), mercy (eleos), peace (eirēnē), from (apo) God (theou) [the] Father (patros), and (kai) Christ (Christou) Jesus (Iēsou), the (tou) lord (kuriou) of us (hēmōn).

 

2 Tim. 1:3 (LIT/UBS4) I have (echō) thankfulness (charin) to the (tō) God (theō), whom (hō) I serve (latreuō) from (apo) [the] predecessors (progonōn) [of me, AE], in (en) [a] cleansed (kathara) conscience (suneidēsei);

 

as (hōs) I have (echō) the (tēn) unceasing (adialeipton) remembrance (mneian) about (peri) you (sou) in (en) the (tais) prayers (deēsesin) of me (mou), night (nuktos) and (kai) day (hēmeras),

 

2 Tim. 1:4 (LIT/UBS4) having caused myself to remember (memnēmenos) the (tōn) tears (dakruōn) of you (sou), longing after (epipothōn) to see (idein) you (se) in order that (hina) I may be filled (plērōthō) of joy (charas);

 

2 Tim. 1:5 (LIT/UBS4) I having received (labōn) [a] reminder (hupomnēsin) of the (tēs) belief (pisteōs) in (en) you (soi) without acting (anupokritou), which (hētis) was in-housed (enōkēsen) first (prōton) in (en) the (tē) grandmother (mammē) of you (sou), Lois (Lōidi), and (kai) the (tē) mother (mētri) of you (sou), Eunice (Eunikē).

 

But (de) I have been persuaded (pepeismai) that (hoti) [it, AE] [is] in (en) you (soi) also (kai),

 

2 Tim. 1:6 (LIT/UBS4) through (di’) which (hēn) cause (aitian) I remind (anamimnēskō) you (se) to fire up alive (anazōpurein) the (to) gracious gift (charisma) of the (tou) God (theou) which (ho) is (estin) in (en) you (soi), through (dia) the (tēs) putting upon (epitheseōs) of the (tēs) hands (cheirōn) of me (mou).

 

2 Tim. 1:7 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) the (ho) God (theos) absolutely did not give (ou edōken) to us (hēmin) [a] Spirit (pneuma) of cowardice (deilias), BUT (alla), [a] work of inherent power (dunameōs), and (kai) of love (agapēs), and (kai) of thinking whole thoughts (sōphronismou)!

 

(For the Spirit of God being in Christ, and the Spirit of Christ being in those who believe upon his name, making them more than conquerors now, see Mat. 10:25; Acts 1:4-8; Rom. 8:9-11, 37; 1 Cor. 12:6; 2 Cor. 2:14, 13:3-5; Gal. 1:16; Eph. 1:19-20, 4:13, 6:13-18; Phil. 2:13, 4:13; Col. 1:27-29; 1 Thes. 2:13; 2 Tim. 1:7; 1 John 4:4, 5:4-5)

 

2 Tim. 1:8 (LIT/UBS4) Therefore (oun), do not be caused to be ashamed (mē epaischunthēs) of the (to) witness (marturian) of the (tou) lord (kuriou) of us (hēmōn), but nor (mēde) me (eme), the (ton) bound one (desmion) of him (autou).  

 

BUT (alla), suffer evil together with (sugkakopathēson) [me, RE] for the (tō) Evangelism (euageliō), down on account (kata) of [an] inherently powered work (dunamin) of God (theou) [in you, v6, RE];

 

2 Tim. 1:9 (LIT/UBS4) [the Evangelism, v8, RE] of the (tou) [God, v8, RE] having made us whole (sōsantos hēmas), and (kai) having called [us, RE] aloud (kalesantos) to [a] holy (hagia) calling (klēsei);  

 

[[a] calling, RE] absolutely not (ou) down on account (kata) of the (ta) works (erga) of us (hēmōn), BUT (alla), [[a] calling, RE] down according to (kata) his own (idian) preparation (prothesin) and (kai) grace (charin);

 

the (tēn) [calling, RE] having been given (dotheisan) to us (hēmin) in (en) Christ (Christō) Jesus (Iēsous), before (pro) ages (aiōniōn) of times (chronōn)!

 

(Both the God and his son Christ Jesus are referred to as saviors by the apostles. The clear distinction the holy scriptures make between the roles of the two is that the God prepared the plan and the schematic for our salvation (Heb. 3:1-4; Rom. 3:23-25; Eph. 1:7-9; Luke 1:47; 1 Tim. 1:1, 2:3, 4:10; 2 Tim. 1:9; Tit. 1:2-3, 2:10, 3:4; Jude 1:25, Rev. 7:10), while Christ Jesus, who caused himself to follow God’s plan and schematic, caused himself to become God’s enabling one, or instrument of our salvation (Heb. 5:9; Luke 2:11; John 4:42; Acts 5:31, 13:23; Eph. 5:23; Phil. 3:20; 2 Tim. 1:10; Tit. 1:2-4, 2:13, 3:6; 2 Pet. 1:1, 1:11, 2:20, 3:2, 18; 1 John 4:14).

 

2 Tim. 1:10 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) [it, AE] [is] [a calling, v9, RE] having been manifested (phanerōtheisan) now (nun) through (dia) the (tēs) epiphany (epiphaneias) of the (tou) savior4990 (sōtēros) of us (hēmōn), Christ (Christou) Jesus (Iēsou);

 

truly (men), he having idled down2673 (katargēsantos) the (ton) death (thanatou), but (de) he having illuminated (phōtisantos) life (zōēn) and (kai) incorruption (aphtharsian), through (dia) the (tou) Evangelism (euangeliou);

 

(Both the God and his son Christ Jesus are referred to as saviors by the apostles. The clear distinction the holy scriptures make between the roles of the two is that the God prepared the plan and the schematic for our salvation (Heb. 3:1-4; Rom. 3:23-25; Eph. 1:7-9; Luke 1:47; 1 Tim. 1:1, 2:3, 4:10; 2 Tim. 1:9; Tit. 1:2-3, 2:10, 3:4; Jude 1:25, Rev. 7:10), while Christ Jesus, who caused himself to follow God’s plan and schematic, caused himself to become God’s enabling one, or instrument of our salvation (Heb. 5:9; Luke 2:11; John 4:42; Acts 5:31, 13:23; Eph. 5:23; Phil. 3:20; 2 Tim. 1:10; Tit. 1:2-4, 2:13, 3:6; 2 Pet. 1:1, 1:11, 2:20, 3:2, 18; 1 John 4:14).

 

2 Tim. 1:11 (LIT/UBS4) [the Evangelism, v10, RE] into (eis) which (ho) I (egō) was placed (etethēn) [a] preacher (kērux), and (kai) [an] apostle (apostolos), and (kai) [a] teacher (didaskalos);

 

2 Tim. 1:12 (LIT/UBS4) through (di’) which (hēn) cause (aitian) I suffer (paschō) these things (tauta) also (kai)!

 

BUT (all’), I am absolutely not caused to be ashamed (ouk epaischunomai), because (gar) I know (oida) for whom (hō) I have believed (pepisteuka), and (kai) I have been persuaded (pepeismai) that (hoti) he is (estin) inherently powerful (dunatos) to keep watchful guard (phulaxai) of the (tēn) heritage (parathēkēn) of me (mou) into (eis) the (tēn) day (hēmeran) of that (ekeinēn)!

 

(For what the God planned before ages of times, and promised to the Word before it became flesh, that God would not allow his body, after it became flesh, to remain in the grave to decay into a thorough disintegration, see Psalm 16:8-11, 30:1-12, 69:1-36; Isa. 53; Acts 2:25-28, 13:32-37; Rom. 2:7-9, 16:25-27; 1 Cor. 15:42-49; Eph. 1:3-14, 6:24; 2 Tim. 1:8-12; 1 Pet. 1:17-23.)

 

2 Tim. 1:13 (LIT/UBS4) Hold (eche) [a] pattern (hupotupōsin) of words (logōn) being wholesome (hugiainontōn), which (hōn) [pattern, ER] you heard (ēkousas) alongside (par’) of me (emou), [[a] pattern, ER] in (en) belief (pistei) and (kai) love (agapē), the (tē) [pattern, ER] in (en) Christ (Christō) Jesus (Iēsou).

 

2 Tim. 1:14 (LIT/UBS4) Keep watchful guard (phulaxon) of the (tēn) beautiful (kalēn) heritage (parathēkēn) through (dia) [the sake, AE] of holy (hagiou) Spirit (pneumatos), of the (tou) [Spirit, RE] in-housing (enoikountos) in (en) us (hēmin).

 

(For the God, under his new covenant, being IN believers, and he working IN and THROUGH them, see Lev. 26:11-12; Ezek. 11:19-20, 36:25-27; Mat. 13:33; Luke 17:20-21; John 3:3-8, 14:20-21, 26, 17:14-21; Rom. 8:8-11; 1 Cor. 3:16-17, 6:19-20; 2 Cor. 4:3-7, 6:14-7:1, 13:3-5, 14; Gal. 1:15-16, 2:20, 4:18-19; Eph. 2:17-22, 3:14-19; Col. 1:27; 2 Tim. 1:14; Heb. 3:6, 13:20-21; 1 John 3:23-24, 4:7-8, 15-16)

 

(For what is God’s prophesied true “tent”, his new holy place under his new covenant, the prophesied promise of the Father to place himself into believers to live in them as his new permanent domicile, a true “tent” not built with mortal’s hands but with his own hand, see Ex. 15:17; 2 Sam. 7:5-16; Isa. 8:14; Ezek. 11:16; Joel 2:28-29; Amos 9:11-12; Mat. 3:11, 16:18, 26:61, 27:39-40; Mark 14:58, 15:29; Luke 3:21-22, 24:49; *John 2:19-22, 3:1-, 4:20-24, 7:37-39, 14:2, *23; Acts 1:4-5, 2:16-18, 33, 38-39, *7:44-50, *15:16-18, *17:24, *20:28; *Rom. 8:9-11, 12:4-5; 1 Cor. *3:16-17, *6:19-20, 10:16-17, 12:12-28; *2 Cor. 5:1, *6:16-18; Gal. 3:14, 22; Eph. 1:13-14, 22-23, *2:17-22, 3:6, 4:11-16, 5:30-32; Col. 1:18-27, 2:6-10, 3:15; *1 Thes. 5:9-11; *1 Tim. 3:15; *2 Tim. 1:14; Heb. *3:4-6, 8:2, *9:11-15, *24, 10:21, 36; 1 Pet. 2:4-5; 1 John 4:12-16; Rev. 3:12, 7:15, 11:19, *13:6, *21:3, 22)

 

2 Tim. 1:15 (LIT/UBS4) This (touto) you have seen (oidas), that (hoti) all (pantes) the ones (hoi) in (en) the (tē) Asia (Asia) turned away from (apestraphēsan) me (me);

 

of whom (hōn) is (estin) Phugelus (Phugelos), and (kai) Hermogenes (Hermogenēs).

 

2 Tim. 1:16 (LIT/UBS4) <May> the (ho) lord (kurios) give (dōē) mercy (eleos) to the (tō) house (oikō) of Onesiphorus (Onēsiphorou);

 

because (hoti) many times (pollakis) he freshened me up (anepsuxen me), and (kai) he was absolutely not caused to be ashamed (ouk epaischunthē) of the (tēn) chain (halusin) of me (mou)!

 

2 Tim. 1:17 (LIT/UBS4) But (alla), having caused himself to become (genomenos) in (en) Rome (Rhōmē), he hastily (spoudaiōs) searched (ezētēsen) for me (me) and (kai) found (heuren) [me, RE]!

 

2 Tim. 1:18 (LIT/UBS4) <May> the (ho) lord (kurios) give (dōē) to him (autō) to find (heurein) mercy (eleos) alongside (para) [of the] lord (kuriou) in (en) the (tē) day (hēmera) of that (ekeinē);

 

and (kai) [give to him, RE] as many things as (hosa) he ministered (diēkonēsen) in (en) Ephesus (Ephesō), [as, AE] you (su) know (ginōskeis) better (beltion).
