G3588–ὁ–ho

I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience--as my forefathers did--that night and day I unceasingly remember you in my prayers,

τῷ tō “<the>”τὴν tēn “the”ταῖς tais “the”

being always mindful of your tears, and longing to see you that I may be filled with joy.

τῶν tōn “<the>”

For I recall the sincere faith which is in your heart--a faith which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and then in your mother Eunice, and, I am fully convinced, now dwells in you also.

For He saved us and called us with a holy call, not in accordance with our desserts, but in accordance with His own purpose and the free grace which He bestowed on us in Christ Jesus before the commencement of the Ages,

τοῦ tou “the [One who]”τὰ ta “the”τὴν tēn “which”

but which has now been plainly revealed through the Appearing of our Saviour, Christ Jesus. He has put an end to death and has brought Life and Immortality to light through the Good News,

τῆς tēs “the”τοῦ tou “of the”τὸν ton “<the>”τοῦ tou “the”

That indeed is the reason why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know in whom my trust reposes, and I am confident that He has it in His power to keep what I have entrusted to Him safe until that day.

τὴν tēn “the”τὴν tēn “<the>”

Provide yourself with an outline of the sound teaching which you have heard from my lips, and be true to the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

That precious treasure which is in your charge, guard through the Holy Spirit who has His home in our hearts.

You then, my child, must be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

τῇ tēa “the”τῇ tēa “that [is]”

Never forget that Jesus Christ has risen from among the dead and is a descendant of David, as is declared in the Good News which I preach.

τὸ to “<the>”

For preaching the Good News I suffer, and am even put in chains, as if I were a criminal: yet the word of God is not imprisoned.

ὁ ho “the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

For this reason I endure all things for the sake of God's own people; so that they also may obtain salvation--even the salvation which is in Christ Jesus--and with it eternal glory.
