2 Tim. 1:1      2 Tim. 1:3

Second letter to Timothy 1:2

[To:] Timothy,
[my] beloved child [beloved with God's selfless and generous love].
[The Greek word for child used here is not huios – an adult son. Instead, Paul writes teknon, which literally means "to be born of someone" and emphasizes the relationship between parent and child – a beloved family member. Timothy came from Derbe (located in present-day central Turkey) where Paul met him during his first missionary journey. Timothy's mother was Jewish and his father was Greek, see Acts 16:1. He accompanied Paul on several of his journeys and became his closest co-worker. Paul was his spiritual father.] Grace (undeserved favor) [power],
mercy (compassion expressed in action)
and peace
from God the Father and the Anointed One (Messiah, Christ) Jesus, our Lord.
[The expression grace and peace is common in Paul's writings, but the addition of "mercy" is found only here in the pastoral epistles. Jesus spoke in the Sermon on the Mount that those who are merciful will themselves receive mercy, see Matt. 5:7.]
