CPDV Catholic Public Domain Version
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, in accord with the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
1 PABLO, apóstol de Jesucristo por la voluntad de Dios, según la promesa de la vida que es en Cristo Jesús,
2 to Timothy, most beloved son. Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Lord.
2 A Timoteo, amado hijo: Gracia, misericordia, [y] paz de Dios el Padre y de Jesucristo nuestro Señor.
3 I give thanks to God, whom I serve, as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. For without ceasing I hold the remembrance of you in my prayers, night and day,
3 Doy gracias á Dios, al cual sirvo desde mis mayores con limpia conciencia, de que sin cesar tengo memoria de ti en mis oraciones noche y día;
4 desiring to see you, recalling your tears so as to be filled with joy,
4 Deseando verte, acordándome de tus lágrimas, para ser lleno de gozo;
5 calling to mind the same faith, which is in you unfeigned, which also first dwelt in your grandmother, Lois, and in your mother, Eunice, and also, I am certain, in you.
5 Trayendo á la memoria la fe no fingida que hay en ti, la cual residió primero en tu abuela Loida, y en tu madre Eunice; y estoy cierto que en ti también.
6 Because of this, I admonish you to revive the grace of God, which is in you by the imposition of my hands.
6 Por lo cual te aconsejo que despiertes el don de Dios, que está en ti por la imposición de mis manos.
7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of virtue, and of love, and of self-restraint.
7 Porque no nos ha dado Dios el espíritu de temor, sino [el] de fortaleza, y de amor, y de templanza.
8 And so, do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me, his prisoner. Instead, collaborate with the Gospel in accord with the virtue of God,
8 Por tanto no te avergüences del testimonio de nuestro Señor, ni de mí, preso suyo; antes sé participante de los trabajos del evangelio según la virtud de Dios,
9 who has freed us and has called us to his holy vocation, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus, before the ages of time.
9 Que nos salvó y llamó con vocación santa, no conforme á nuestras obras, mas según el intento suyo y gracia, la cual nos es dada en Cristo Jesús antes de los tiempos de los siglos,
10 And this has now been made manifest by the illumination of our Savior Jesus Christ, who certainly has destroyed death, and who has also illuminated life and incorruption through the Gospel.
10 Mas ahora es manifestada por la aparición de nuestro Salvador Jesucristo, el cual quitó la muerte, y sacó á la luz la vida y la inmortalidad por el evangelio;
11 Of this Gospel, I have been appointed a preacher, and an Apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
11 Del cual yo soy puesto predicador, y apóstol, y maestro de los Gentiles.
12 For this reason, I also suffer these things. But I am not confounded. For I know in whom I have believed, and I am certain that he has the power to preserve what was entrusted to me, unto that day.
12 Por lo cual asimismo padezco esto: mas no me avergüenzo; porque yo sé á quien he creído, y estoy cierto que es poderoso para guardar mi depósito para aquel día.
13 Hold to the kind of sound words that you have heard from me in the faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
13 Retén la forma de las sanas palabras que de mí oíste, en la fe y amor que es en Cristo Jesús.
14 Guard the good entrusted to you through the Holy Spirit, who lives within us.
14 Guarda el buen depósito por el Espíritu Santo que habita en nosotros.
15 Know this: that all those who are in Asia have turned away from me, among whom are Phigellus and Hermogenes.
15 [Ya] sabes esto, que me han sido contrarios todos los que son en Asia, de los cuales son Figello y Hermógenes.
16 May the Lord have mercy on the house of Onesiphorus, because he has often refreshed me, and he has not been ashamed of my chains.
16 Dé el Señor misericordia á la casa de Onesíforo; que muchas veces me refrigeró, y no se avergonzó de mi cadena:
17 Instead, when he had arrived in Rome, he anxiously sought me and found me.
17 Antes, estando él en Roma, me buscó solícitamente, y me halló.
18 May the Lord grant to him to obtain mercy from the Lord in that day. And you know well in how many ways he has ministered to me at Ephesus.
18 Déle el Señor que halle misericordia cerca del Señor en aquel día. Y cuánto [nos] ayudó en Efeso, tú lo sabes mejor.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 1:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Second Timothy (Homily I)

    What is the reason of his writing this second Epistle to Timothy? He had said, "I hope to come unto thee shortly" (1 Tim. iii.

    Such an earth was the godly Onesiphorus, unto whose house Thou didst give mercy, because he frequently refreshed Thy Paul, and was not ashamed of his chain. This did also the brethren, and such fruit did they bear, who out of Macedonia supplied what was wanting unto him.
