2 Timothy 1:5

1:5 I recall ¹  your sincere faith ²  that was alive first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and I am sure ³  is in you.

2 Timothy 1:9

1:9 He is the one who saved us ⁴  and called us with a holy calling, not based on ⁵  our works but on his own purpose and grace, granted to us in Christ Jesus before time began, ⁶ 

2 Timothy 1:12

1:12 Because of this, in fact, I suffer as I do. ⁷  But I am not ashamed, because I know the one in whom my faith is set ⁸  and I am convinced that he is able to protect what has been entrusted to me ⁹  until that day. ¹⁰ 

¹ tn Grk “recalling” (as a continuation of the preceding clause). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

² tn Grk “the sincere faith in you.”

³ tn Or “convinced.”

⁴ tn More literally, “who saved us,” as a description of God in v. 8. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

⁵ tn Or “according to,” or “by.”

⁶ tn Grk “before eternal times.”

⁷ tn Grk “suffer these things.”

⁸ tn Or “in whom I have believed.”

⁹ sn What has been entrusted to me (Grk “my entrustment,” meaning either (1) “what I have entrusted to him” [his life, destiny, etc.] or (2) “what he has entrusted to me” [the truth of the gospel]). The parallel with v. 14 and use of similar words in the pastorals (1 Tim 6:20; 2 Tim 2:2) argue for the latter sense.

¹⁰ sn That day is a reference to the day when Paul would stand before Christ to give account for his service (cf. 2 Tim 1:18; 1 Cor 3:13; 2 Cor 5:9-10).
