1 Esta carta viene de parte de Pablo, apóstol de Cristo Jesús y escogido por Dios, y es enviada con el fin de contar sobre la promesa de una vida real, es decir, en Cristo Jesús.
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 Te la envío a ti, Timoteo, mi querido Hijo. Ten gracia, misericordia, y paz de parte de Dios el Padre y de Cristo Jesús, nuestro Señor.
2 to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Siempre pienso en ti y estoy muy agradecido con Dios, a quien sirvo así como lo hicieron mis ancestros, con una clara conciencia. Nunca te olvido en mis oraciones.
3 I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day
4 ¡Recuerdo cuánto llorabas y deseo tanto verte! Eso me haría realmente feliz.
4 longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5 En mi mente siempre está el recuerdo de tu fe sincera en Dios, la misma fe que tenían tu abuela Loida y tu madre Eunice, y sé que esa misma fe sigue viva en ti.
5 having been reminded of the sincere faith that is in you, which lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, in you also.
6 Por eso quiero recordarte que debes revitalizar el don de la gracia de Dios que recibiste cuando puse mis manos sobre ti.
6 For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
7 Dios no nos dio un espíritu de temor, sino un espíritu de poder, de amor y de cordura.
7 For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
8 Así mismo no se avergüencen de contar a otros sobre nuestro Señor, ni se avergüencen de mí. En lugar de ello, estén listos para participar del sufrimiento por causa de la buena noticia a medida que Dios los fortalece.
8 Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God,
9 Él es el que nos ha salvado y nos ha llamado para vivir una vida santa, no por medio de lo que hacemos, sino por medio del propio plan de Dios y por medio de su gracia.
9 who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,
10 Él nos dio esta gracia en Cristo Jesús antes del principio de los tiempos, y ahora está revelada en la aparición de nuestro Salvador Cristo Jesús. Él destruyó la muerte, dejando en evidencia la vida y la inmortalidad por medio de la buena noticia.
10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.
11 Fui designado como predicador, apóstol y maestro de esta buena noticia.
11 For this I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12 Esa también es una razón por la cual sufro todas estas cosas, pero no me avergüenzo, porque sé en quién he confiado. Estoy seguro de que él puede cuidar de lo que le he confiado hasta el Día de su regreso.
12 For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.
13 Deberían seguir el modelo del buen consejo que aprendieron de mí, con una actitud de fe y amor en Cristo Jesús.
13 Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 Guarden la verdad que les fue confiada por medio del Espíritu Santo que vive en nosotros.

15 Ustedes ya saben que todos los de Asia me abandonaron, incluso Figelo y Hermógenes.
15 This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 Que el señor sea bondadoso con la familia de Onesíforo, porque a menudo me cuidó y no se avergonzaba de que yo estuviera en la cárcel.
16 May the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
17 Cuando estuve en Roma, se tomó la molestia de buscarme y me encontró.
17 but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently and found me
18 Que el Señor le otorgue su bendición en el Día del Juicio. (Timoteo, tu eres muy consciente de cuántas cosas Onesíforo hizo por mi cuando estuve en Éfeso).
18 (the Lord grant to him to find the Lord’s mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.

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).
