2 Timothy Chapter 1

2Ti 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2Ti 1:2 to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
2Ti 1:3 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, as without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day,
2Ti 1:4 longing to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
2Ti 1:5 when I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that it dwelleth in thee also.
2Ti 1:6 For which cause I remind thee to stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the laying on of my hands;
2Ti 1:7 for God gave us not the spirit of cowardice, but of power, and of love, and of admonition.
2Ti 1:8 Be not then ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship with me for the gospel through the power of God,
2Ti 1:9 who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and the grace which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
2Ti 1:10 but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and incorruption to light through the gospel,
2Ti 1:11 for which I was appointed a herald, and an apostle, and a teacher of the gentiles.
2Ti 1:12 For which cause I suffer also these things. But I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which he hath committed to me unto that day.
2Ti 1:13 Hold the pattern of sound words, which thou heardest from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus;
2Ti 1:14 the good trust committed to thee keep through the Holy Spirit which dwelleth in us.
2Ti 1:15 Thou knowest this, that all those in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
2Ti 1:16 The Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain; but on the contrary,
2Ti 1:17 when he arrived at Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
2Ti 1:18 The Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that day: and what services he rendered me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
