1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, 2 To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. 3 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day; 4 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy; 5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also. 6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; 9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: 11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. 12 For the which cause 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 keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. 13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us. 15 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes. 16 The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain: 17 But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me . 18 The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.

Duoyi salom
1-2 Xudoning irodasi bilan Iso Masihning havoriysi boʻlgan men — Pavlusdan sevimli oʻgʻlim Timoʻtiyga salom! Xudo abadiy hayotni eʼlon qilishim uchun meni yubordi. U vaʼda qilgan bu hayotga Iso Masihga boʻlgan imon orqali erishiladi. Oʻgʻlim Timoʻtiy, senga Otamiz Xudo va Rabbimiz Iso Masih inoyat, marhamat va tinchlik ato qilsin.
Iso Masihga sodiq qolishga daʼvat
3 Timoʻtiy, boringga shukur! Men, ota–bobolarim kabi, Xudoga vijdonan xizmat qilib, kechayu kunduz sen uchun ibodat qilaman. 4 Seni juda sogʻinganman, koʻz yosh toʻkkanlaring hamon yodimda. Qaniydi, diydoringni koʻrsam–u, qalbim quvonchga toʻlsa, deyman. 5 Sening samimiy imoningni doim eslayman. Avvaldan buving Loida hamda onang Evnika oʻz qalblariga jo etgan oʻsha imon endi senda ham ravnaq topayotganiga aminman.
6 Shu sababdan, yodingda boʻlsin: men ustingga qoʻllarimni qoʻyib duo qilganimda , sen Xudodan Muqaddas Ruhni inʼom qilib olgansan. Ichingdagi oʻsha Muqaddas Ruh inʼomini alangalatib tur. 7 Zero, Xudo bergan Ruh qalbimizga qoʻrquv solmaydi, aksincha, bizga kuch, muhabbat va aqli rasolikni ato qiladi. 8 Shunday ekan, Rabbimiz Iso haqida shohidlik berishdan or qilma, men Rabbimiz tufayli zanjirband boʻlganimdan ham uyalma. Mendan ibrat olib, Xushxabar tufayli azob chekishga tayyor turgin, buning uchun Xudoning bergan kuchiga tayangin. 9 Axir, Xudo bizga najot berdi, Xushxabar aytish kabi muqaddas xizmatga bizni daʼvat etdi. Bunga bizning savob ishlarimiz emas, aksincha, Xudoning murod–maqsadiyu inoyati sabab boʻldi. Xudo azaldanoq Iso Masih orqali bizga inoyat koʻrsatishga qaror qilgan edi. 10 Mana endi bu inoyat najotkorimiz Iso Masihning olamga kelishi bilan yaqqol namoyon boʻldi. Masih oʻlim kuchini yoʻq qildi. U mangu hayotga eltuvchi yoʻlni bizga Xushxabar orqali yoritib berdi.
11 Xudo meni bu Xushxabarni turli xalqlarga yetkazuvchi voiz, havoriy va muallim qilib tayinladi. 12 Shu sababdan ham bu azoblarni tortyapman. Biroq men bundan or qilmayman, chunki Kimga eʼtiqod qilganimni yaxshi bilaman. Ishonchim komilki, Xudo menga topshirgan Xushxabarni qiyomat kunigacha Uning Oʻzi toʻligʻicha saqlashga qodir . 13 Sen mendan eshitgan bu sogʻlom taʼlimotdan namuna olgin, uni asragin. Iso Masihga tegishli boʻlgan inson sifatida imon va muhabbatga toʻla hayot kechirgin. 14 Senga ishonib topshirilgan bu ezgu taʼlimotni ichimizda yashayotgan Muqaddas Ruh yordamida avaylab–asragin.
15 Asiya viloyatidagi barcha birodarlar, shu jumladan, Figelus bilan Hermogenes mendan yuz oʻgirganlarini bilasan. 16 Onisiforus baraka topsin, Rabbimiz Iso uning xonadoniga marhamat qilsin. Onisiforus bir necha marta kelib, mening koʻnglimni koʻtardi. Zanjirbandligimdan or qilmay, 17 Rimga kelishi bilanoq, meni astoydil qidirib, oxiri topdi. 18 U menga Efes shahrida ham qanchalar xizmat qilganini oʻzing yaxshi bilasan. Yo Rabbim Iso, qiyomat kunida Oʻz marhamatingni Onisiforusdan darigʻ tutmagin!
