Greeting

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by God’s command—our Savior—and of Christ Jesus, our hope,

to Timothy, my true son in faith. May God the Father and Christ Jesus, our Lord, grant you grace, mercy, and peace.

Paul and Timothy

I thank Christ Jesus, our Lord, who gives me strength, considers me trustworthy, and has appointed me to his service,

although I was a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a fanatical enemy, yet I have been mercifully treated because I acted out of ignorance when I opposed the faith; 

and the grace of our Lord was more than enough, along with the faith and love found in Christ Jesus.
