2 Timothy 1:3-8

3 1I thank God, whom I 2serve with a 3clear conscience 4the way my forefathers did, 5as I constantly remember you in my 6prayers night and day, 4 7longing to see you, 8even as I recall your tears, so that I may be filled with joy. 5 9For I am mindful of the 10sincere faith within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and 11your mother Eunice, and I am sure that it is in you as well. 6For this reason I remind you to kindle afresh 12the gift of God which is in you through 13the laying on of my hands. 7For God has not given us a 14spirit of 15timidity, but of power and love and 16discipline.

8Therefore 17do not be ashamed of the 18testimony of our Lord or of me 19His prisoner, but join with me in 20suffering for the 21gospel according to the power of God,
