2 Timothy Chapter 1

2Ti 1:1 PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus,
2Ti 1:2 to Timothy my beloved son. Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
2Ti 1:3 I thank God, whom I serve from my ancestors with a pure conscience, that I mention you incessantly in my prayers night and day,
2Ti 1:4 desiring to see you, remembering your tears, that I might be filled with joy,
2Ti 1:5 having a remembrance of the unfeigned faith in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that [it dwells] also in you.
2Ti 1:6 For which cause I admonish you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the imposition of my hands.
2Ti 1:7 For God gave us not a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
2Ti 1:8 Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but endure affliction with us in the gospel according to 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 purpose and grace given us in Christ Jesus from eternity,
2Ti 1:10 but made known now through the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who destroyed death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,
2Ti 1:11 of which I was made a herald, and an apostle, and a teacher of the nations;
2Ti 1:12 for which cause I suffer these things; but I am not ashamed; for I know in whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep my trust to that day.
2Ti 1:13 Retain the form of sound words which you heard from me in faith and the love in Christ Jesus.
2Ti 1:14 Guard the good trust, through the Holy Spirit which dwells in us.
2Ti 1:15 You know this, that all those in Asia left me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
2Ti 1:16 May the Lord show mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chains,
2Ti 1:17 but being at Rome he sought most diligently, and found me.
2Ti 1:18 The Lord grant him to find mercy with the Lord in that day. And what services he performed at Ephesus, you know very well.
