2 Timothy Chapter 1

2Ti 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the commandment of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2Ti 1:2 to Timothy, my beloved child. Grace, mercy, peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
2Ti 1:3 I give thanks to God, whom I serve from my ancestors with a clean conscience, as I have incessant mention of you in my prayers, night and day
2Ti 1:4 longing to see you, remembering your tears, in order that I may be filled with joy;
2Ti 1:5 having received the remembrance of the unhypocritical faith which is in you; which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice; and, I am persuaded that it is in you also.
2Ti 1:6 On account of which cause I remind you to revive and refire the gift of God which is in you by the laying on of my hands.
2Ti 1:7 For God has not given us the spirit of cowardice; but of power and divine love and prudence.
2Ti 1:8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor me his prisoner: but suffer affliction for the sake of the gospel according to the power of God;
2Ti 1:9 the one having saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the eternal times,
2Ti 1:10 but now having been made manifest through the appearing of Jesus Christ our Saviour, the one having indeed destroyed death, and lighted up life and immortality through the gospel,
2Ti 1:11 unto which I have been placed a herald, and an apostle, and teacher:
2Ti 1:12 on account of which cause I indeed suffer these things: but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to stand guard over that which is committed unto me unto that day.
2Ti 1:13 Hold fast the form of sound words which you heard with me, in the faith and divine love which is in Christ Jesus:
2Ti 1:14 stand guard over the beautiful deposit through the Holy Ghost who dwells in us.
2Ti 1:15 You know this, that all who are in Asia, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes have turned away from me.
2Ti 1:16 May the Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus, because frequently he refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
2Ti 1:17 and, being in Rome, he diligently sought me, and found me.
2Ti 1:18 May the Lord grant unto him to find mercy with the Lord in that day. And so many things as he ministered in Ephesus, you know better.
