Chapter 1
SHA’UL, an emissary of Yahooshua the Anointed One of Yah by the will of Yah, according to the promise of life which is in The Anointing of the Spirit of Yah that was upon Yahooshua,
2 To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Chen, mercy, and peace, from Yah the Father and The Anointing of the Spirit of Yah that was upon Yahooshua our Adonay.
3 I thank Yah, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;
4 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned Emunah that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.
6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of Yah, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
7 For Yah has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of Chesed, and of a sound mind.
8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Adonay, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the Good News according to the power of Yah;
9 Who has saved us, and called us with an Set-Apart calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and Chen, which was given us in The Anointing of the Spirit of Yah that was upon Yahooshua before the world began,
10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Yahooshua the Anointed One of Yah, who has abolished death, and has brought life and immortality to light through the Good News:
11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an emissary, and a teacher of the Ha-goyim.
12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed to him against that day.
13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou has heard of me, in Emunah and Chesed which is in The Anointing of the Spirit of Yah that was upon Yahooshua.
14 That good thing which was committed to thee keep by the Set-Apart Spirit which dwelleth in us.
15 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
16 Yah the Eternally Self-Existing give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
17 But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
18 Yah the Eternally Self-Existing grant to him that he may find mercy of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing in that day: and in how many things he ministered to me at Ephesos, thou knowest very well.
CHAPTER 2
THOU therefore, my son, be strong in the Chen that is in The Anointing of the Spirit of Yah that was upon Yahooshua.
2 And the things that thou has heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to emunahful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Yahooshua the Anointed One of Yah.
4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who has chosen him to be a soldier.
5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
7 Consider what I say; and Yah the Eternally Self-Existing give thee understanding in all things.
8 Remember that Yahooshua the Anointed One of Yah of the seed of Dawid was raised from the dead according to my Good News:
9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even to bonds; but the word of Yah is not bound.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in The Anointing of the Spirit of Yah that was upon Yahooshua with eternal Kavod.
11 It is a emunahful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13 If we believe not, yet he abideth emunahful: he cannot deny himself.
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before Yah the Eternally Self-Existing that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15 Study to shew thyself approved to Yah, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase to more unmighty oneliness.
17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenæus and Philetus;
18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the Emunah of some.
19 Nevertheless the foundation of Yah stands sure, having this seal, Yah the Eternally Self-Existing knows them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of the Anointed One of Yah depart from iniquity.
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of Earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel to honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared to every good work.
22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, Emunah, charity, peace, with them that call on Yah the Eternally Self-Existing out of a pure heart.
23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
24 And the servant of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing must not strive; but be gentle to all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if Yah peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
CHAPTER 3
THIS know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be Chesedrs of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unSet-Apart,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, Chesedrs of pleasures more than Chesedrs of Yah;
5 Having a form of mighty oneliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moshe, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the Emunah.
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest to all men, as theirs also was.
10 But thou has fully known my teaching, manner of life, purpose, Emunah, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came to me at Antioch, at Ikonion, at Lustra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all Yah the Eternally Self-Existing delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live mighty onely in The Anointing of the Spirit of Yah that was upon Yahooshua shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou has learned and has been assured of, knowing of whom thou has learned them;
15 And that from a child thou has known the Set-Apart writings, which are able to make thee wise to salvation through Emunah which is in The Anointing of the Spirit of Yah that was upon Yahooshua.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of Yah, and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of Yah may be perfect, throughly furnished to all good works.
CHAPTER 4
I CHARGE thee therefore before Yah, and Adonay Yahooshua the Anointed One of Yah, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his Kingdom;
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and teaching.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound teaching; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned to fables.
5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the Emunah:
8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which Yah the Eternally Self-Existing, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but to all them also that Chesed his appearing.
9 Do thy diligence to come shortly to me:
10 For Demas has forsaken me, having Cheseded this present world, and is departed to Thessalonike; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.
11 Only Luke is with me. Take Marqos, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
12 And Tuchikos have I sent to Ephesos.
13 The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.
14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: Yah the Eternally Self-Existing reward him according to his works:
15 Of whom be thou ware also; for he has greatly withstood our words.
16 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray Yah that it may not be laid to their charge.
17 Notwithstanding Yah the Eternally Self-Existing stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Ha-goyim might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
18 And Yah the Eternally Self-Existing shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me to his Heavenly Kingdom: to whom be Kavod for ever and ever. Aměn.
19 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
20 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.
21 Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
22 Adonay Yahooshua the Anointed One of Yah be with thy spirit. Chen be with you. Aměn.
