2 Timothy Chapter 1

2Ti 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life, which is in Christ Jesus,
2Ti 1:2 To Timothy, my beloved son, grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father, and from Christ Jesus our Lord.
2Ti 1:3 I give thanks to God, whom I worship from my ancestors, in a pure conscience, as I make continual mention of thee in my prayers night and day,
2Ti 1:4 Desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
2Ti 1:5 Calling to remembrance that unfeigned faith which is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that (it dwelleth) in thee also.
2Ti 1:6 For which cause I advise thee to stir up the gift of God which is in thee, by the laying on of my hands;
2Ti 1:7 For God hath not given to us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, and of love, and of soberness.
2Ti 1:8 Be not ashamed, therefore, of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me, who am his prisoner; but be thou a partaker of the afflictions of the gospel, according to the power of God;
2Ti 1:9 Who hath saved us and hath called us with a holy calling; not according to our works, but according to his purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before eternal ages,
2Ti 1:10 But hath now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who hath indeed destroyed death, and hath brought to light life and immortality by the gospel.
2Ti 1:11 To which I have been appointed a herald, and an apostle, and a teacher of the gentiles;
2Ti 1:12 For which cause also I suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep what I have intrusted to him till that day.
2Ti 1:13 Hold the form of sound words which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
2Ti 1:14 Guard the excellent thing to thee by the Holy Spirit, who dwelleth in us.
2Ti 1:15 Thou knowest this, that all that are in Asia have forsaken me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
2Ti 1:16 May the Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus; for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
2Ti 1:17 But when he was in Rome, he sought me out diligently, and found me.
2Ti 1:18 May the Lord grant to him that he may find mercy with the Lord on that day; and how many things he ministered to me at Ephesus, thou knowest well.
