| 1:8 | ϲυγκακοπαθηϲον:suffer-hardship-with | [suffer-hardship-with] – the compound keeps the hardship root visible: Timothy is summoned into the hardship-sharing that marks Paul’s gospel service, and the same root recurs at 2:3, 2:9, and 4:5 as a repeated verbal thread. |
| 1:8 | κυριου:lord | [lord] – lowercased: the testimony belongs to the messiah, whose prisoner Paul is; the one God alone receives the capital. |
| 1:10 | επιφανειαϲ:appearing | [appearing] – the language of an imperial royal appearing is transferred to the messiah: the gospel unveils the appearing of God’s appointed saviour, the same appearing that will mark the judgment and the crown (4:1, 4:8). |
| 1:12 | παραθηκην:deposit | [deposit] – an entrusted deposit: what Paul has committed to God’s keeping for that day. The fiduciary image is preserved in the established gloss, which returns at 1:14 and is extended by the entrusting command at 2:2. |
(13) υποτυπωϲιν:Pattern εχε:hold υγιαινοντων:of-sound λογων:words ων:which παρ:from εμου:me ηκουϲαϲ:you-heard εν:in πιϲτει:faith και:and αγαπη:love τη:the εν:in χριϲτω:Christ ιηϲου:Jesus (14) την:the καλην:good παραθηκην:deposit φυλαξον:guard δια:through πνευματοϲ:spirit αγιου:holy του:the ενοικουντοϲ:indwelling εν:in ημιν:us

| 1:13 | υγιαινοντων:of-sound | [of sound] – the medical image is kept as “sound”: the pattern of healthy words Timothy is to hold, the same sound teaching that will be rejected when hearers turn to myths (4:3), and the term that stands over against the gangrene of 2:17. |
| 1:14 | παραθηκην:deposit | [deposit] – the good deposit guarded through holy spirit; the matching gloss to 1:12 frames the entrusted-tradition instruction. |
(15) οιδαϲ:You-know τουτο:this οτι:that απεϲτραφηϲαν:turned-away με:from-me παντεϲ:all οι:the εν:in τη:the αϲια:Asia ων:of-whom εϲτιν:are φυγελοϲ:Phygelus και:and ερμογενηϲ:Hermogenes (16) δωη:May-grant ελεοϲ:mercy ο:the κυριοϲ:Lord τω:to-the ονηϲιφορου:of-Onesiphorus οικω:house οτι:because πολλακιϲ:often με:me ανεψυξεν:he-refreshed και:and την:the αλυϲιν:chain μου:my ουκ:not επαιϲχυνθη:he-was-ashamed (17) αλλα:But γενομενοϲ:having-arrived εν:in ρωμη:Rome ϲπουδαιωϲ:earnestly εζητηϲεν:he-sought με:me και:and ευρεν:found (18) δωη:May-grant αυτω:him ο:the κυριοϲ:Lord ευρειν:to-find ελεοϲ:mercy παρα:from κυριου:Lord εν:in εκεινη:that τη:the ημερα:day και:and οϲα:how-many εν:in εφεϲω:Ephesus διηκονηϲεν:he-served βελτιον:better ϲυ:you γινωϲκιϲ:know

| 1:16 | κυριοϲ:Lord | [Lord] – capitalised: the prayer for mercy ascends to the one God, who alone grants eschatological mercy to the household of Onesiphorus. |
| 1:18 | κυριοϲ:Lord | [Lord] – capitalised: “May the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord” follows the Jewish prayer-pattern in which the one God of Israel both receives the petition and supplies the mercy of that day. |
| 1:18 | κυριου:Lord | [Lord] – capitalised: the source of mercy is the one God, the God of Israel, who grants mercy in that day. |

| 2:2 | παραθου:entrust | [entrust] – the verb matching the deposit: what Timothy heard through many witnesses is handed over to faithful people, extending the entrusted-deposit image from 1:12 and 1:14. |
| 2:3 | ϲυγκακοπαθηϲον:Suffer-hardship-with | [Suffer-hardship-with] – the soldier’s summons repeats the hardship-sharing root of 1:8: the good soldier of the messiah shares the gospel’s hardship rather than entangling himself in civilian affairs. |
| 2:7 | κυριοϲ:Lord | [Lord] – capitalised: the one God is the giver of understanding; the promise attached to the imperatives directs Timothy’s confidence to God as the actor. |

| 2:9 | κακοπαθω:I-suffer-hardship | [I-suffer-hardship] – the root stays visible in Paul’s own confession: his bonds are hardship for the gospel, while the word of God is not bound. |
| 2:11 | πιϲτοϲ:Trustworthy ο:the λογοϲ:saying | [Trustworthy the saying] – the fixed trustworthiness formula is kept in strict word order, framing the confessional couplets as a faithful saying. |
| 2:11 | ϲυναπεθανομεν:we-co-died | [we-co-died] – the σύν- compound takes the co- prefix, expressing corporate solidarity with the messiah: co-death is the ground of co-life. |
| 2:11 | ϲυζηϲομεν:we-will-co-live | [we-will-co-live] – the co- gloss continues the solidarity: those who co-died with the messiah will co-live with him. |
| 2:12 | ϲυμβαϲιλευϲομεν:we-will-co-reign | [we-will-co-reign] – the co- gloss completes the couplet: endurance under the messiah’s lordship issues in co-reigning with him. |

| 4:1 | επιφανειαν:appearing | [appearing] – the solemn charge is sworn before God and the messiah Jesus, who is about to judge the living and the dead at his appearing; the royal appearing language first announced in 1:10 now stands as the coming judgment. |
