2 Timothy 1:2-3

1:2 to Timothy, my dear child. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!

Thanksgiving and Charge to Timothy

1:3 I am thankful to God, whom I have served with a clear conscience as my ancestors did, ¹  when I remember you in my prayers as I do constantly night and day. ² 

2 Timothy 3:2

3:2 For people ³  will be lovers of themselves, ⁴  lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,

[1:3]  ¹ tn Grk “from my ancestors.”

[1:3]  ² tn Or “as I do constantly. By night and day I long to see you…”

[3:2]  ¹ tn Grk “men”; but here ἄνθρωποι (anqrwpoi) is generic, referring to both men and women.

[3:2]  ² tn Or “self-centered.” The first two traits in 2 Tim 3:2 and the last two in 3:4 are Greek words beginning with the root “lovers of,” and so bracket the list at beginning and end.
