Summary

The Geʿez text titled ካልእት መልእክተ ጳውሎስ ኀበ ጢሞቴዎስ (Second Epistle of Paul to Timothy) is an Ethiopic version of the canonical New Testament letter. The edition (betmas) provides the Geʿez text without critical apparatus, translation, or commentary, and its manuscript basis is unspecified. The work is traditionally attributed to Paul and dated to c. 64–67 CE, but this is not independently verifiable from the edition. The text includes a chapter heading and subtitle not found in the canonical Greek version, and it incorporates apocryphal or hagiographic elements, such as a reference to Laodicea and an emphasis on apostolic ordination. It is part of the Ethiopic Orthodox Tewahedo Church's canon.

This Geʿez version of 2 Timothy is significant for studying the reception of the Pauline corpus in the Ethiopian Christian tradition, particularly the incorporation of apocryphal details and liturgical emphases. It relates to broader questions of biblical translation, canon formation, and the adaptation of New Testament texts in non-Greek contexts. The edition's lack of critical apparatus limits its use for textual criticism but highlights the need for further manuscript study.

Historical context

The Geʿez translation of 2 Timothy likely originated within the Aksumite or post-Aksumite Ethiopian Christian tradition, probably between the 4th and 7th centuries CE, when the Geʿez Bible was translated from Greek (and later Syriac or Arabic) sources. The Ethiopic Orthodox Tewahedo Church received the Pauline epistles as part of its broader New Testament canon, which was finalized in the Geʿez tradition by the medieval period. The edition (betmas) does not specify its manuscript basis, but the text reflects a transmission history that includes both canonical and apocryphal elements, as seen in the reference to Laodicea and the ordination motif. The work was copied and transmitted in monastic scriptoria, often as part of larger biblical codices. The lack of a critical apparatus means the relationship to the Greek Vorlage and the extent of later editorial additions remain unclear.

The Second Epistle of Paul to Timothy — Anonymous Chapter 1 Concerning Timothy and his faith From Paul, the apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God and by the hope of life which is in Jesus Christ. To Timothy, my son whom I love, greeting to you, and mercy, and grace of God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. I thank God, whom I have worshipped from my youth with a pure heart, and I have always remembered you in my prayer day and night. And I desire to see you, and I remember your upbringing. And I rejoice, remembering your faith which has no heresy, which has dwelt upon you from your youth and from your conduct in Laodicea, and I express my joy and I trust as concerning myself. And concerning this, I remind you that the grace of God which you received through the laying on of my hands upon you may be renewed, concerning which there is no shame in faith.

For it is not a spirit of fear that the Lord has given us, but a spirit of strength, purity, love, and wisdom. And do not be ashamed on account of the name of our Lord, nor cause me, who am dead, to be ashamed. Rather, be steadfast in the teaching by the power of the Lord who saved us and called us by his holy calling. And it is according to our deeds, rather than according to his will and his grace, that which was given to us in Jesus Christ before the world. And it was revealed now at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior, who trampled death and brought forth life, and bound corruption by the teaching of his Gospel, on account of the name and the covenant. For that reason I was appointed apostle, witness, and teacher to the nations. And concerning this I suffer, and I am not ashamed of what I am, for I know what I have believed and I also believe that it will suffice for me, the covenant that has strengthened me until that day. And let it be for you an example, that word of life which you heard from me in the faith and love of Jesus Christ.

Guard your good conscience with the Holy Spirit, which is ever present over you. And know this also, that all those in Asia—Philogus and Erwaneges—have testified concerning prayer and blessing. And may the Lord grant mercy to the house of Heneseforu, for many have fallen and have not been ashamed on account of my sufferings. And when he arrived in Rome, he sought me quickly and found me dead. May the Lord grant that he find mercy at the hand of our Lord on that day. And as for the measure of the good that was sent to me in Ephesus, you yourself know. Chapter 2 Concerning counsel and command. And you, my son, be strong in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. And what you have heard about me in the presence of many witnesses, teach it to the faithful people, those who are worthy to teach the pagans. And fast, like a good athlete, for the sake of Jesus Christ. For there is none who can be killed and gain the wealth of this world without being worthy of him who is named.

The contender, however, will not be in strife if he contends according to the law. And this also: the farmer’s work precedes the harvest of his fruit. And the word I speak to you: may the Lord give you wisdom in all things. Remember Jesus Christ, who rose from the dead, from the seed of David, whom I taught in his name, concerning suffering and patience. For her sake I labor and suffer like a captive. But the word of the Lord alone is not bound. Because of this I am patient in all things for the sake of his chosen ones, that they also may find life in Jesus Christ and eternal glory in the heavens. Believe a thing as we have chosen death, we have chosen life. And as we have chosen patience, we have chosen a king. And if his denial is itself, it denies us. And if we believe him, he himself, the believer, abides, and he cannot deny himself because of hearing and understanding. Like this, remember them and make heard before the Lord; do not be deceived in deed, which is not fitting for those who hear when they are confounded.

Hasten, that you may direct yourself, O chosen one, to the Lord, like a valiant man who is not ashamed; the upright one shall measure the word of the Lord in righteousness. And as for the matter of the impure, which has no foundation, I abhor it, for they magnify their sins. And their matter is vain, like something that is seen and vanishes among many, those of Hymenaeus and Philetus. Those whom I have known to depart from righteousness, and they say, "Alas, the resurrection of the dead has occurred," and they pervert the faith of many. And he who is firm in the foundation of the Lord shall stand, while this measure exists; and the Lord will instruct them, those who are near, and he will distance himself from all iniquity that hears the name of the Lord. In our house, moreover, there is not only great wealth of gold and silver; there is also that of wood and of bronze, and there is that for honor and that for loss. And if there is one who has purified himself from this evil, he will become a vessel of honor, holy, and a foundation for the message of his Lord, and worthy of every good deed, because he is far from sin.

The matter of the impure, which is the desire for corruption, and the matter of the righteous, which is for righteousness and faith. Love and peace with all those who call upon the Lord with a pure heart. I abhor the matter of falsehood, slander, and vain contention; know that it brings destruction. But the servant of the Lord is not deceived; rather, like a gentle child, he is with everyone, a teacher and a mediator from everyone, and he rejoices in the gift for those who approach him. If there are those whom the Lord has, they repent and know righteousness. And they awaken their souls from the snares of Satan, for he has already ensnared them for the sake of his will. Chapter 3 Concerning the Last Times And know only this: that in the last times, evil years will come. And people will become lovers of themselves and lovers of pleasure and vanity; boasters, liars, slanderers, corrupters, liars to their relatives; those who have no shame, outcasts from righteousness.

Those who have no mercy, the wicked, the enemies of good, the corrupt, the unjust, who separate the bond of love of the Lord, they resemble the righteous and they deny the power of righteousness. And to those who are like this, I am abhorrent. For they are the ones who enter the houses of men and seduce women who are beautiful in sin and bring them into much lust. And they constantly mock and do not know the fullness of righteousness. Like Uyanes and Yanberes, who opposed Moses, likewise these oppose righteousness. Men of pure heart and pure faith are not deceived, for their wickedness has become known and has been revealed to all, just as the wickedness of those others was also known through the betrayal of the teachers. And you, my son, have learned my teaching and have been formed in my language, in what I taught you in faith, in love, in patience, in gentleness, in affliction, and in suffering. See how much I endured in Antioch, in Iconium, and in Lystra, how much I suffered affliction.

And from all, the Lord saved me; and all those who wish to live in the righteousness of Jesus Christ, they rejoice. And wicked men exalt themselves in that which is false, and they deceive and cause to deceive. And you, be in your teaching and your faith, concerning the Holy Scripture. Wonder: from whom have you learned? From the Holy Scripture, which is able to sustain your life in the faith of Jesus Christ. And every Scripture written by the Spirit of the Lord suffices for all teaching, admonition, correction, wisdom, and righteousness. So that a man of the Lord may be admonished in every good deed. Chapter 4 Concerning Commandment and Prophecy And I will confess before the Lord and our Lord Jesus Christ, who has it to judge the living and the dead when he comes in his kingdom. So that you may preach the word, standing in the right place at its time and not out of its time. Admonish, reprove, rebuke, and instruct, while you are guided in all things and teach.

For when the time comes for the teaching of life to be magnified, they will live according to their desires and will bring teachers for themselves through the violence of their ears. And they will turn their ears away from righteousness and will bring another teaching, and they will be turned toward the destroyers. And you, be vigilant and wise in all things, and fast, and perform the work of the Gospel, and fulfill and complete your commission concerning the end of the hearing of Paul. And I, I am old and have grown weary, and my age for rest has reached me. I have fought a good fight, I have completed my contest, and I have kept my faith. Nevertheless, a firm crown of righteousness is for me, which the Lord will give me on the day of the judgment of righteousness. And not only for myself, but for all those who love my coming, hasten your coming to me quickly. Demas has left me and loved this present world and has gone to Thessalonica. And Coresces, Galatia, and Titus, Dalmatia, Luke alone is with me.

And I brought Mark with me, for he is useful to me for the letter. And I sent Tychicus to Ephesus. And besides, the book which they left at Troas with Carpus is full, with you, and also the books and paper, admonition and interpretation. Those whom Alexander the coppersmith caused to stumble greatly, may God judge him according to his deeds. And you, my son, beware, for he vehemently opposed our matter. And in my former matter, there is none who is with me. Indeed, all of them have left me, and may they be forgiven for this. For God stood by me and strengthened me, so that they might believe in my preaching and that all the nations might hear how I escaped from the mouth of the lion. And may God save me from every evil deed and cause me to live in his kingdom which is in heaven. To him belongs glory forever and ever. Amen. The seal of the letter. By the hand of Priscilla and Aquila and the house of Onesiphorus. Erastus was in Corinth, and they left Trophimus in the city of Miletus, sick.

Hasten to come to me before winter. Eubulus, Pudens, Linus, and Claudia greet you, and all our brothers. And may our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, and his grace with you. Amen.
