1Sha'ul, a shaliach (apostle) of Yeshua HaMashiach, by the will of Elohim, according to the promise of chayim (life) which is in Mashiach Yeshua. 2To Timotheos, my dearly beloved son: chesed (grace), rachamim (mercy), and shalom from Elohim Avinu (God the Father), and from Mashiach Yeshua our Adon. 3I give thanks to Elohim, whom I serve from my forefathers with a pure conscience, that without ceasing I remember you in my tefillot (prayers) night and day, 4Greatly desiring to see you, mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with simchah (joy), 5Recalling the sincere emunah (faith) that is in you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also. 6For this reason I remind you to stir up the gift of Elohim which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7For Elohim has not given us a ruach (spirit) of fear, but of power, and of ahavah (love), and of self-control. 8Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of Adon, nor of me His prisoner, but share in suffering for the Besorah (Good News) according to the power of Elohim, 9Who has saved us and called us with a kadosh (holy) calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and chesed, which was given us in Mashiach Yeshua before time began, 10But has now been revealed by the appearing of our Deliverer, Yeshua HaMashiach, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the Besorah. 11To this I was appointed a preacher, a shaliach, and a teacher of the Goyim (Gentiles). 12For this reason 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 guard what I have committed to Him until that day. 13Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in emunah and ahavah which are in Mashiach Yeshua. 14Guard the good deposit entrusted to you by the Ruach HaKodesh who dwells in us. 15You know that all those in Asia have turned away from me, among whom are Phigellus and Hermogenes. 16May Adon grant rachamim to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains. 17But when he came to Rome, he diligently sought me and found me. 18May Adon grant to him that he may find rachamim from Adon in that day. And you know very well how many ways he ministered to me at Ephesos.

1You therefore, my son, be strong in the chesed (grace) that is in Mashiach Yeshua. 2And the things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. 3Endure hardship as a good soldier of Mashiach Yeshua. 4No man serving as a soldier for Elohim entangles himself with the affairs of this olam (world), that he may please Him to whom he has pledged himself. 5And also, if anyone competes, he is not crowned unless he competes lawfully. 6The farmer who labors must be the first to partake of the fruits. 7Consider what I say, for Adon will give you understanding in all things. 8Remember that Adon Yeshua HaMashiach, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my Besorah (Good News). 9For which I suffer hardship even to chains, as an evildoer; but the word of Elohim is not chained. 10Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the yeshuah (salvation) which is in Mashiach Yeshua with eternal kavod (glory). 11This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him. 12If we endure, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us. 13If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself. 14Remind them of these things, charging them before Adon not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers. 15Be diligent to present yourself approved to Elohim, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. 17And their message will spread like cancer; of whom are Hymeneus and Philetus, 18Who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past, and they overthrow the emunah (faith) of some. 19Nevertheless, the solid foundation of Elohim stands, having this seal: “Adon knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the Name of Adon depart from iniquity.” 20But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some for honor and some for dishonor. 21Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful to Adon, prepared for every good work. 22Flee also youthful lusts, but pursue tzedakah (justice), emunah, ahavah (love), and shalom with those who call on Adon out of a pure lev (heart). 23But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. 24And a servant of Adon must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, 25In humility correcting those who oppose, if perhaps Elohim may grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, 26And that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the satan, having been taken captive by him to do his will.

1Know this also, that in the acharit hayamim (last days) perilous times will come. 2For men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, wicked, 3Without natural affection, without shalom, slanderers, without self-control, cruel, without kindness, 4Traitors, stubborn, puffed up, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of Elohim, 5Having a form of godliness but denying its power. From such turn away. 6For of this sort are those who creep into houses and lead captive foolish women laden with sins, led away by various lusts, 7Always learning and never able to come to the da'at (knowledge) of the truth. 8Now as Yannes and Mamre opposed Moshe, so also these resist the truth—men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the emunah (faith). 9But they shall progress no further, for their folly shall be manifest to all, as theirs also was. 10But you have fully known my teaching, manner of life, purpose, emunah, longsuffering, ahavah (love), patience, 11Persecutions, afflictions, which came upon me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra—what persecutions I endured; and out of them all Adon delivered me. 12Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Mashiach Yeshua shall suffer persecution. 13But evil men and impostors shall grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14But you, continue in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15And that from childhood you have known the Kitvei HaKodesh (Holy Scriptures), which are able to make you wise for yeshuah (salvation) through emunah which is in Mashiach Yeshua. 16All Scripture is inspired by Elohim and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in tzedakah (righteousness), 17That the ish haElohim (man of God) may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

1I charge you before Elohim and Yeshua HaMashiach, who shall judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His malchut (kingdom): 2Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, exhort, rebuke with all patience and teaching. 3For the time will come when they will not endure sound teaching, but according to their own lusts they will heap up for themselves teachers, having itching ears, 4And they will turn their ears away from the truth and be turned aside to fables. 5But you, be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of a mevaser (evangelist), fulfill your ministry. Be sober. 6For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the emunah (faith). 8Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of tzedakah (righteousness), which Adon, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved His appearing. Make haste to come to me quickly. 9For Demas has forsaken me, having loved this olam (world), and has gone to Thessalonica; 10Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. 11Only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for the ministry. 12And Tychicus I have sent to Ephesos. 13The cloak that I left with Carpus at Troas, bring when you come, and the scrolls, especially the parchments. 14Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm; Adon will repay him according to his works. 15You also must beware of him, for he has greatly resisted our words. 16At my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me. May it not be charged against them. 17But Adon stood with me and strengthened me, so that the proclamation might be fully made through me, and that all the Goyim (Gentiles) might hear. And I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. 18And Adon will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly malchut. To Him be kavod (glory) forever and ever. Amen. 19Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus. 20Erastus stayed at Corinth, but Trophimus I left sick at Miletus. 21Make haste to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, as do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the achim (brethren). 22Adon Yeshua HaMashiach be with your ruach (spirit). Chesed (grace) be with you. Amen.
