2 Timothy 1:3-8

3I am thankful to 1God, whom I serve from [my] forefathers with pure conscience, how unceasingly I have the remembrance of thee in my supplications night and day,

4earnestly desiring to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;

5calling to mind the unfeigned faith which [has been] in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that in thee also.

6For which cause I put thee in mind to rekindle the gift of 2God which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

7For 3God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, and of love, and of wise discretion.

8Be not therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but suffer evil along with the glad tidings, according to the power of 4God;
