# General Information:

|
In this book, unless otherwise noted, the word "our" refers to Paul and Timothy (the one to whom this letter is written), as well as to all believers. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-inclusive]])
|
|
|
|
# Paul, an apostle
|
|
|
|
"I, Paul, wrote this letter. I am an apostle." Your language may have a particular way of introducing the author of a letter. Immediately after introducing the writer, you may want to indicate to whom the letter was written, as in the UDB.

# according to the commandment of
|
|

"God who saves us"
|
|

# true son in the faith
|
|
|
|
Paul speaks of his close relationship to Timothy as though they were father and son. This shows Paul's sincere love and approval of Timothy. It is also likely that Timothy was converted to Christ by Paul, and so this is why Paul considered him like his own child. AT: "who is truly like a son to me" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

|
|
# Grace, mercy, and peace
|

"May grace, mercy, and peace be yours," or "May you experience kindness, mercy, and peace"
|
|
|
|
# God the Father
|
|
|
|
"God, who is our Father." Here "Father" is an important title for God. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/guidelines-sonofgodprinciples]])
