2 Timothy 1

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	NOVA VULGATA
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God for the promise of life in Christ Jesus,	1 Paulus, apostolus Christi Iesu per voluntatem Dei secundum promissionem vitae, quae est in Christo Iesu,
2 to Timothy, my dear child: grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.	2 Timotheo carissimo filio: gratia, misericordia, pax a Deo Patre et Christo Iesu Domino nostro.
3 I am grateful to God, whom I worship with a clear conscienceas my ancestors did, as I remember you constantly in my prayers, night and day.	3 Gratias ago Deo, cui servio a progenitoribus in conscientia pura, quod sine intermissione habeo tui memoriam in orationibus meis nocte ac die
4 I yearn to see you again, recalling your tears, so that I may be filled with joy,	4 desiderans te videre, memor lacrimarum tuarum, ut gaudio implear,
5 as I recall your sincere faith that first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and that I am confident lives also in you.	5 recordationem accipiens eius fidei, quae est in te non ficta, quae et habitavit primum in avia tua Loide et matre tua Eunice, certus sum autem quod et in te.
6 For this reason, I remind you to stir into flame the gift of God that you have through the imposition of my hands.	6 Propter quam causam admoneo te, ut resuscites donationem Dei, quae est in te per impositionem manuum mearum;
7 For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather of power and love and self-control.	7 non enim dedit nobis Deus Spiritum timoris sed virtutis et dilectionis et sobrietatis.
8 So do not be ashamed of your testimony to our Lord, nor of me, a prisoner for his sake; but bear your share of hardship for the gospel with the strength that comes from God.	8 Noli itaque erubescere testimonium Domini nostri neque me vinctum eius, sed collabora evangelio secundum virtutem Dei,
9 He saved us and called us to a holy life, not according to our works but according to his own design and the grace bestowed on us in Christ Jesus before time began,	9 qui nos salvos fecit et vocavit vocatione sancta, non secundum opera nostra sed secundum propositum suum et gratiam, quae data est nobis in Christo Iesu ante tempora saecularia;
10 but now made manifest through the appearance of our savior Christ Jesus, who destroyed death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,	10 manifestata autem nunc per illustrationem salvatoris nostri Iesu Christi, qui destruxit quidem mortem, illuminavit autem vitam et incorruptionem per evangelium,
11 for which I was appointed preacher and apostle and teacher.	11 in quo positus sum ego praedicator et apostolus et doctor.
12 On this account I am suffering these things; but I am not ashamed, for I know him in whom I have believed and am confident that he is able to guard what has been entrusted to me until that day.	12 Ob quam causam etiam haec patior, sed non confundor; scio enim, cui credidi, et certus sum quia potens est depositum meum servare in illum diem.
13 Take as your norm the sound words that you heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.	13 Formam habe sanorum verborum, quae a me audisti, in fide et dilectione, quae sunt in Christo Iesu;
14 Guard this rich trust with the help of the holy Spirit that dwells within us.	14 bonum depositum custodi per Spiritum Sanctum, qui habitat in nobis.
15 You know that everyone in Asia deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.	15 Scis hoc, quod aversi sunt a me omnes, qui in Asia sunt, ex quibus est Phygelus et Hermogenes.
16 May the Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus because he often gave me new heart and was not ashamed of my chains.	16 Det misericordiam Dominus Onesiphori domui, quia saepe me refrigeravit et catenam meam non erubuit;
17 But when he came to Rome, he promptly searched for me and found me.	17 sed cum Romam venisset, sollicite me quaesivit et invenit
18 May the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on that day. And you know very well the services he rendered in Ephesus.	18 — det illi Dominus invenire misericordiam a Domino in illa die — et quanta Ephesi ministravit, melius tu nosti.
