{\MT Moshiachʼs Letter through the Shliach Sha'ul to Timotiyos (II)



\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Sha'ul, a Shliach of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua birtzon
{\ND{Hashem}}{\ADD{(by the will of G-d)}}, according to the havtachah haChayyim
{\ADD{(promise of Life)}} in Moshiach Yehoshua.


\par }{\PP \VS{2}To Timotiyos, beni haahuv
{\ADD{(my beloved son)}}. Chesed
{\ND{Hashem}}, Rachamim
{\ND{Hashem}} and Shalom
{\ND{Hashem}} from Elohim Avinu and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu.


\par }{\PP \VS{3}Modeh Ani
{\ADD{(I give thanks)}} to
{\ND{Hashem}} whom I offer avodas hakodesh service with a clear matzpun — as did the Avot of me — when I remember you constantly in my tefillos.

\VS{4}As I remember your weeping, I want to see you, that I may be filled with simcha.

\VS{5}I remember your genuine emunah,\FTNT{*}{{\FR 1:5 }{\FT{in Moshiach}}} which dwelt first in Lois your savtah
{\ADD{(grandmother, bobe)}} and in your Em, Eunice, and I have been persuaded dwells also in you.

\VS{6}For which reason I remind you to meorer
{\ADD{(rekindle)}} the matnat Elohim,
{\ADD{(the gift of
{\ND{Hashem}})}} which is in you through my conferring of s'michah
{\ADD{(ordination)}}.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 1:6 }{\FT{}}{\XT{1Ti 4:14}}}

\VS{7}For
{\ND{Hashem}} did not bestow upon us a ruach of pachad
{\ADD{(terror)}}, but of gevurah
{\ADD{(miraculous power)}} and of ahavah
{\ADD{(love)}} and of sound havchanah
{\ADD{(judgment)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}Do not, therefore, be ashamed of the eidus of Adoneinu nor of me, his asir
{\ADD{(prisoner)}}, but suffer together with me for the Besuras HaGeulah in the ko'ach of
{\ND{Hashem}},

\VS{9}The one having granted us Yeshu'at Eloheinu and having called us with a kri'ah kedoshah
{\ADD{(holy calling)}}, not according to the ma'asim of us but according to his own tachlis
{\ADD{(purpose)}} and chesed having been given to us in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua before Yamim HaOlam,

\VS{10}But having been manifested now through the appearing of Moshieinu Moshiach Yehoshua, who nullified death\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 1:10 }{\FT{i.e., his own histalkus and Mavet itself}}} and also brought Chayyim and alkillayon
{\ADD{(incorruptibility)}} to light through the Besuras HaGeulah,

\VS{11}For which I was appointed a karoz
{\ADD{(herald)}}, a maggid
{\ADD{(darshan, preacher)}}, a Shliach and a rabbi
{\ADD{(teacher)}}.

\VS{12}It is because of these things also that I suffer. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and I have been persuaded that He is able to stand shomer, guarding\FTNT{§}{{\FR 1:12 }{\FT{preserving}}} until HaYom HaHu the\FTNT{*}{{\FR 1:12 }{\FT{orthodox Jewish, see
}}{\XT{1Ti 6:20}}} pikkadon
{\ADD{(deposit)}} entrusted to Him by me.

\VS{13}Follow the pattern of sound orthodox Jewish devarim which you heard from me, in emunah and ahavah in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.

\VS{14}Stand shomer over the orthodox Jewish pikkadon entrusted to you through the Ruach Hakodesh dwelling in us.


\par }{\PP \VS{15}Of this you have da'as: all the ones in Asia, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes, turned away from me.

\VS{16}May
{\ND{Hashem}} grant rachamim to the bais of Onesiphorus, because often he refreshed me and he was not ashamed of my sharsherot.

\VS{17}For, when he was in Rome, he sought me with zerizut and found me.

\VS{18}May Adoneinu grant to him to find rachamim from
{\ND{Hashem}} in HaYom HaHu.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 1:18 }{\FT{}}{\XT{2Ti 1:12}}} Also, while in Ephesus in how many ways he did avodas hakodesh you know very well.




\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}You, therefore, beni, be empowered in the Chen v'Chesed which is in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.

\VS{2}And what things you heard from me through edim rabbim, these things commit to anashim ne'emanim
{\ADD{(faithful men)}} of zrizus
{\ADD{(reliability)}} who will be qualified rabbinic morim to teach others also.

\VS{3}Take your place in suffering as a chaiyal tov
{\ADD{(good soldier)}} of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.

\VS{4}No one on duty as a chaiyal is entangled with the everyday chiloni
{\ADD{(secular)}} affairs of inactive duty, in order that he may please the One who has enlisted him.

\VS{5}And no participant in an athletic tacharut
{\ADD{(competition)}} is crowned unless he competes according to the rules.

\VS{6}It is the hard working ikkar
{\ADD{(farmer)}} who ought to have the rishonah mipri ha'adamah
{\ADD{(the first share from the harvest of the earth)}}.

\VS{7}Let your hitbonenut be on what I say, for
{\ND{Hashem}} will give to you binah in all things.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}Remember Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, of the zera Dovid, and remember the Techiyas HaMoshiach, according to my Besuras HaGeulah,

\VS{9}For which I suffer as if I were an evil-doer, even to the point of the bais hasoharʼs bonds, but the Dvar
{\ND{Hashem}} has no bonds.

\VS{10}Therefore, I endure all things for the sake of the Bechirim
{\ADD{(the Chosen ones)}}, in order that they also may obtain the Yeshu'at HaEloheinu in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua with kavod olamim.

\VS{11}Trustworthy is
{\ND{Hashem}}, for if we died\FTNT{*}{{\FR 2:11 }{\FT{to the Olam Hazeh}}} with Him, also we will live\FTNT{†}{{\FR 2:11 }{\FT{in the Olam Habah}}} with Him.

\VS{12}If we endure, we also will reign with Him; if we will deny Him, He also will deny us.

\VS{13}If we are not ne'emanim
{\ADD{(faithful)}}, He remains ne'eman
{\ADD{(faithful)}}, for to deny Himself, He is not able.


\par }{\PP \VS{14}Remind them of these things, solemnly warning them in the presence of
{\ND{Hashem}} not to be engaged in disputes over devarim, which is not beneficial, but only ruins the hearers.

\VS{15}Do your best to shtel zich
{\ADD{(apply yourself)}}, to present yourself to
{\ND{Hashem}} as one approved, a po'el
{\ADD{(workman)}} without bushah
{\ADD{(shame)}}, keeping on a derech yashar the Dvar HaEmes.

\VS{16}But profane chatter bereft of kedushah, avoid, for such will advance that which is frai
{\ADD{(irreligious)}}.

\VS{17}Their lashon hora will spread like gangrene, as in the case of Hymenaeus and Philetus,

\VS{18}Who concerning HaEmes missed the mark, teaching that the Techiyas HaMesim has already occurred. They are overthrowing the emunah of some.

\VS{19}Al kol panim
{\ADD{(nevertheless)}}, the solid yesod of
{\ND{Hashem}} stands firm and zicher
{\ADD{(certain)}}, having this seal:
{\SC{v'yoda'
{\ND{Hashem}} es asher lo}}{\ADD{({\ND{Hashem}} knows the ones who are his)}};\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 2:19 }{\XT{Num 16:5}}} and let everyone who names the name of
{\ND{Hashem}} depart from avel
{\ADD{(iniquity, gross injustice)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{20}In a bais gadol, there are not only k'lei
{\ADD{(vessels)}} of gold and silver but also those wooden ones and earthen ones: some, for honorable use; others, for dishonorable use.

\VS{21}If anyone makes himself tahor from these things he will be a k'li vessel for honorable use, having been set aside as kodesh, useful to HaAdon, ready for every ma'aseh tov.


\par }{\PP \VS{22}But flee from the ta'avot hane'urim
{\ADD{(lusts of youth)}}\FTNT{§}{{\FR 2:22 }{\XT{Ps 25:7}}} and pursue tzedek, emunah, ahavah, and shalom with the ones calling on Adoneinu out of a lev tahor.

\VS{23}But speculations characterized by narrishkait and lacking da'as — such refuse, knowing that they produce fights.

\VS{24}And an eved
{\ND{Hashem}} ought not be a Ba'al Machlokes
{\ADD{(quarrelsome person)}}, but ought to be eidel
{\ADD{(gentle, courteous)}} to all, a skilled rabbinic moreh, savlan
{\ADD{(patient)}},

\VS{25}Correcting the mitnaggedim
{\ADD{(opponents)}} in anavat ruach
{\ADD{(a spirit of meekness)}}, in the tikvah that
{\ND{Hashem}} may efsher
{\ADD{(perhaps)}} grant them teshuva, resulting in da'as HaEmes,

\VS{26}And that they may come to their senses, escaping the pakh
{\ADD{(trap)}} of HaSatan, after having been captured by him to do his will.




\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}But of this have da'as, that in the acharit hayamim there will be terrible times,

\VS{2}For Bnei Adam will be in love with self, ohavei kesef
{\ADD{(lovers of money)}}, ga'avtanim
{\ADD{(proud boasters)}}, speakers of lashon hora, disobedient to horim
{\ADD{(parents)}}, without hakarat todah
{\ADD{(gratitude)}}, without kedushah,

\VS{3}Without ahavah, unforgiving and irreconcilable, without shlitah atzmi
{\ADD{(self-control)}}, bestial, son'ei HaTov
{\ADD{(haters of the Good)}},

\VS{4}Treacherous, reckless, conceited, ohavei ta'anugot
{\ADD{(lovers of pleasures)}} rather than ohavei
{\ND{Hashem}},

\VS{5}Having an outward form of chasidus but the ko'ach having denied. Turn away from these.

\VS{6}For of such are the morim entering into homes and capturing weak-willed nashim laden with chatta'im, led away by various ta'avot,

\VS{7}Always learning but never being able to come to da'as HaEmes.

\VS{8}As Jannes and Jambres opposed Moshe Rabbeinu, so also these oppose HaEmes. These men have been corrupted in their mind and are failures with respect to the emunah,\FTNT{*}{{\FR 3:8 }{\FT{of Moshiach,
}}{\XT{Yd 1:3}}}

\VS{9}But they will not proceed very far, for the sichlut
{\ADD{(folly, stupidity)}} of them will likewise become conspicuous to all.


\par }{\PP \VS{10}But you closely followed my torah, my halichah, my tachlis, my emunah, my savlanut
{\ADD{(patience)}}, my ahavah, my endurance,

\VS{11}The redifot
{\ADD{(persecutions)}} and Messianic yissurim
{\ADD{(sufferings)}} which happened to me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra, what kind of redifot I endured. And out of all Adoneinu rescued me.

\VS{12}Also all the ones wanting to live as chasidim in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua will be persecuted,

\VS{13}But anashim ra'im and impostors will progress to their abysmal worst, misleading and being misled.

\VS{14}But, you, remain in the shiurim you learned, and the things you were convinced of, knowing under which rabbi you sat,

\VS{15}And that from infancy you have known the Kitvei HaKodesh, which are able to make you chacham with a view to Yeshu'at Eloheynu through emunah in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.

\VS{16}The entire Kitvei HaKodesh is
{\ND{Hashem}}-breathed and useful for hora'ah
{\ADD{(teaching)}}, for reproof, for correction, for training in tzedek,

\VS{17}That the ish haElohim may be proficient, having been equipped for every one of the ma'asim tovim.




\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}I solemnly charge you before
{\ND{Hashem}} and Moshiach Yehoshua, the imminent Shofet of the living and dead, and by the Bi'as HaMoshiach and His Malchut:

\VS{2}Attend to the hatafah
{\ADD{(preaching)}} of the Dvar
{\ND{Hashem}}. Be ready in season, out of season, expose, rebuke, encourage, with all long suffering and hora'ah
{\ADD{(teaching)}}.

\VS{3}For there will be a time when sound charedi
{\ADD{(orthodox)}} hora'ah they will not tolerate, but according to their ta'avot they will accumulate morim to tickle their ears.

\VS{4}And from HaEmes of
{\ND{Hashem}} they will turn their ear away shmad and to aggadah they will be turned aside.

\VS{5}But, you, exercise shlitah atzmi
{\ADD{(self-control)}} in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of a mevaser of the Besuras HaGeulah, fully carry out your avodas kodesh ministry of kiruv rechokim
{\ADD{(bringing near the far away ones)}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{6}For already I am being poured out, and the time of my avekfor
{\ADD{(departure)}},\FTNT{*}{{\FR 4:6 }{\FT{See
}}{\XT{Pp 1:23}}} has come.

\VS{7}The milchemet tzedek
{\ADD{(war of righteousness)}} I have fought, the course I have finished, the emunah\FTNT{†}{{\FR 4:7 }{\FT{}}{\XT{Yd 1:3}}} I have been shomer over.

\VS{8}Henceforth, there is laid up for me the keter hatzedakah
{\ADD{(crown of righteousness)}} which Adoneinu, the Shofet Tzedek, will give to me in HaYom HaHu, and not only to me, but also to all the ones who are ohavei Bi'as HaMoshiach.


\par }{\PP \VS{9}Have zerizut
{\ADD{(diligence)}} to come to me quickly.

\VS{10}For Demas deserted me. Having loved the Olam Hazeh, he departed for Thessalonika; Crescens, to Galatia; Titos, to Dalmatia.

\VS{11}Lukas alone is with me. Get Markos and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for avodas hakodesh.

\VS{12}Now Tychicus I sent to Ephesus.

\VS{13}When you come, bring the cloak which I left behind in Troas with Carpus, and the megillos, especially the parchments.

\VS{14}Alexander the coppersmith did ra'ot rabbot
{\ADD{(much evil)}} to me; Adonoi will repay him L'ISH K'MA'ASEIHU
{\ADD{(to each as his deeds)}}.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 4:14 }{\XT{Ps 62:12}}}

\VS{15}You also watch out for him, because he greatly opposed our message.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 4:15 }{\FT{about Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach}}}

\VS{16}At my first hitstaddekut
{\ADD{(defense)}}, no one came to be with me, but all forsook me. May it not be counted against them.

\VS{17}But Adoneinu stood with me, and empowered me, that through me the hachrazah
{\ADD{(proclamation, kerygma)}} of the Besuras HaGeulah might be fully preached and all the Nations might hear it. And I was rescued out of the mouth of the lion.

\VS{18}{\ND{Hashem}} will rescue me from every evil work and thus will bring me safely into his Malchut HaShomayim. Lo haKavod l'olam va'ed. Omein.


\par }{\PP \VS{19}Drishat Shalom to Prisca and Aquila and the bais of Onesiphorus.

\VS{20}Erastus remained in Corinth, but Trophimus, ailing, I left behind in Miletus.

\VS{21}Make haste to come before winter. Drishat Shalom to you from Eubulus and Pudens and Linus, Claudia, and all the Achim b'Moshiach.


\par }{\PP \VS{22}{\ND{Hashem}} be with your neshamah. Chen v'Chesed
{\ND{Hashem}} be with you.
