2 Timothy 1:3-8

3I am thankful to God, whom I have served with a clear conscience as my ancestors did, when I remember you in my prayers as I do constantly night and day.

4As I remember your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy.

5I recall your sincere faith that was alive first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and I am sure is in you.

6Because of this I remind you to rekindle God’s gift that you possess through the laying on of my hands.

7For God did not give us a Spirit of fear but of power and love and self-control.

8So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me, a prisoner for his sake, but by God’s power accept your share of suffering for the gospel.
