YLT Young's Literal Translation
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God, according to a promise of life that [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 Timotheus, beloved child: Grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord!
2 A Timoteo, amado hijo: Gracia, misericordia, [y] paz de Dios el Padre y de Jesucristo nuestro Señor.
3 I am thankful to God, whom I serve from progenitors in a pure conscience, that unceasingly I have remembrance concerning thee in my supplications 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 greatly to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that with joy I may be filled,
4 Deseando verte, acordándome de tus lágrimas, para ser lleno de gozo;
5 taking remembrance of the unfeigned faith that is in thee, that dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that also in thee.
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 For which cause I remind thee to stir up the gift of God that is in thee through the putting on 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 did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind;
7 Porque no nos ha dado Dios el espíritu de temor, sino [el] de fortaleza, y de amor, y de templanza.
8 therefore thou mayest not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but do thou suffer evil along with the good news according to the power 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 did save us, and did call with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, that was given to us in Christ Jesus, before the times of the ages,
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 was made manifest now through the manifestation of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who indeed did abolish death, and did enlighten life and immortality through the good news,
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 to which I was placed a preacher and an apostle, and a teacher of nations,
11 Del cual yo soy puesto predicador, y apóstol, y maestro de los Gentiles.
12 for which cause also these things I suffer, but I am not ashamed, for I have known in whom I have believed, and have been persuaded that he is able that which I have committed to him to guard — to 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 The pattern hold thou of sound words, which from me thou didst hear, in faith and love that [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 the good thing committed guard thou through the Holy Spirit that is dwelling in us;
14 Guarda el buen depósito por el Espíritu Santo que habita en nosotros.
15 thou hast known this, that they did turn from me — all those in Asia, of whom are Phygellus 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 give kindness to the house of Onesiphorus, because many times he did refresh me, and of my chain was not ashamed,
16 Dé el Señor misericordia á la casa de Onesíforo; que muchas veces me refrigeró, y no se avergonzó de mi cadena:
17 but being in Rome, very diligently he sought me, and found;
17 Antes, estando él en Roma, me buscó solícitamente, y me halló.
18 may the Lord give to him to find kindness from the Lord in that day; and how many things in Ephesus he did minister thou dost very well know.
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.
