2 Timothy 1:3-18
31I 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, 47longing to see you, 8even as I recall your tears, so that I may be filled with joy. 59For I am mindful of the 10sincere faith within you, which first dwelled 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, 9who 22saved us and 23called us with a holy 24calling, 25not according to our works, but according to His own 26purpose and grace, which was granted to us in 27Christ Jesus from 28all eternity, 10but has 29now been revealed by the 30appearing of our Savior 31Christ Jesus, who 32abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 1133for which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher. 12For this reason I also suffer these things; but 34I am not ashamed, for I know 35whom I have believed, and I am convinced that He is able to 36protect what I have entrusted to Him 37until 38that day. 1339Hold on to the 40example of 41sound words 42which you have heard from me, in the 43faith and love which are in 44Christ Jesus. 14Protect, through the Holy Spirit who 45dwells in us, the 4647treasure which has been entrusted to you.
15You are aware of the fact that all who are in 4849Asia 50turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. 16The Lord grant mercy to 51the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and 52was not ashamed of my 5354chains; 17but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me-- 18the Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord on 55that day--and you know very well what services he rendered at 56Ephesus.
