2 Timotius 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 Timotius 2:2

2:2 And entrust what you heard me say ⁴  in the presence of many others as witnesses ⁵  to faithful people ⁶  who will be competent ⁷  to teach others as well.

[1:5]  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.

[1:5]  ² tn Grk “the sincere faith in you.”

[1:5]  ³ tn Or “convinced.”

[2:2]  ⁴ tn Grk “what you heard from me” (cf. 1:13).

[2:2]  ⁵ tn Grk “through many witnesses.” The “through” is used here to show attendant circumstances: “accompanied by,” “in the presence of.”

[2:2]  ⁶ tn Grk “faithful men”; but here ἀνθρώποις (anqrwpoi") is generic, referring to both men and women.

[2:2]  ⁷ tn Or “able” (see Paul’s use of this word in regard to ministry in 2 Cor 2:16; 3:5-6).
