2 Timothy Chapter 1 (NASB)
undefined
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus,
undefined
To Timothy, my beloved son: Grace, mercy [and] peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
undefined
I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience the way my forefathers did, as I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day,
undefined
longing to see you, even as I recall your tears, so that I may be filled with joy.
undefined
For I am mindful of the sincere faith within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am sure that [it is] in you as well.
undefined
For this reason I remind you to kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
undefined
For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.
undefined
Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me His prisoner, but join with [me] in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God,
undefined
who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity,
undefined
but now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,
undefined
for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher.
undefined
For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day.
undefined
Retain the standard of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.
undefined
Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to [you].
undefined
You are aware of the fact that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
undefined
The Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains;
undefined
but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me--
undefined
the Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord on that day-- and you know very well what services he rendered at Ephesus.
