Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God according to the promise of the life that is in Christ Jesus, To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. I thank God whom I serve, as did my ancestors, with a clear conscience, as I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day. As I remember your tears, I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy. I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well. For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher, which is why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that day what has been entrusted to me. Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you. You are aware that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains, but when he arrived in Rome he searched for me earnestly and found me— may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on that day!—and you well know all the service he rendered at Ephesus.

Sermon
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God according to the promise of the life that is in Christ Jesus, To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Several years have passed since his last letter
Paul was in Prison
Prisons were to await trial or execution
Dirthy, underground & hot
provisions provided by family
grace - unmerited pardoning and transforming favor
mercy - warm and tender affection shown to one who is in a difficult situation
peace - the consciousness of having been reconciled to God through the accomplished mediatorial work of Christ
I thank God whom I serve, as did my ancestors, with a clear conscience, as I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day.
I thank God whom I serve
as my fore fathers
with a clear conscience
I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day
As I remember your tears, I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy.
This is not the departure described in 1 Timothy 1:3, but following Paul’s later visit and just before his arrest
I remember your tears
I long to see you
That I may be filled with joy
I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well.
Your unhypocritical faith
Timothy is not a fair-weather believer
His faith rather resembles that of Lois (granmother) and Eunice (mother)
For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
fan into plame the gift of God
imparted by laying of hands - his ministry
God gave us a spirit not of fear
But of power, love & self-discipline (to make wise)
Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God,
do not be ashamed of the testumony about our Lord
nor of me his prisoner
Share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God
be bold - be strong - be courageous
Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”
who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began,
saved by holy calling
not saved by works
saved because of God’s own purpose and grace
which he gave in Christ Jesus before ages began
and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,
now manifested through the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus
who abolished death
brought life and immortality to light through the gospel
for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher,
read verse
which is why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that day what has been entrusted to me.
For this reason 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 what I have committed to Him until that Day.
I have entrusted myself and my complete salvation to God
Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
Follow the patttern of sound words you have heard from me
in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus
By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you.
By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us
guard the good deposit entrusted to you
You are aware that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
Phygelus and Hermogenes turned away from me
May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains, but when he arrived in Rome he searched for me earnestly and found me—
Commendation of Onesiphorus
he often refreshed me
was not ashamed of my chains
openly searched for me in Rome
may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on that day!—and you well know all the service he rendered at Ephesus.
may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on that day!
Paul’s reminds Timothy of how Onesiphorus helped Paul in Ephesus
