2 Timothy 1

1^*Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ ^aby the will of God, according to ^bthe promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, ^2cTo Timothy, ^dmy dearly beloved son: ^cGrace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

^3eI thank God, ^fwhom I serve ^gfrom my forefathers with ^hpure conscience, that ⁱwithout ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers ^knight and day; ^4lGreatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of ^mthy tears, that I may be filled with joy; ⁵When I call to ⁿremembrance ^othe unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and ^pthy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also. ⁶Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou ^qstir up ^rthe gift of God, ^swhich is in thee ^tby the putting on of my hands. ⁷For God hath not given us ^uthe spirit of fear; but ^vof power, and of love, and ^wof a sound mind. ^8xBe not thou therefore ashamed of ^ythe testimony of our Lord, nor of me ^zhis prisoner: but ^abe thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; ^9bWho hath saved us, and ^ccalled us with ^dan holy calling, ^enot according to our works, but ^faccording to his own purpose and ^ggrace, which was given us in Christ Jesus ^hbefore the world began, ¹⁰But ⁱis now made manifest by ^jthe appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, ^kwho hath ^labolished death, and hath brought life and ^mimmortality to light through the gospel: ¹¹ⁿWhereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. ^12oFor the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless ^pI am not ashamed: ^qfor I know whom I have ^||believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep ^rthat which I have committed unto him against ^sthat day. ^13tHold fast ^uthe form of ^vsound words, ^wwhich thou hast heard of me, in ^xfaith and ^xlove which is in Christ Jesus. ¹⁴That good ^rthing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost ^ywhich dwelleth in us. ¹⁵This thou knowest, that ^zall they which are in Asia ^abe turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes. ^16bThe Lord give mercy unto ^cthe house of Onesiphorus; for he oft ^drefreshed me, and ^ewas not ashamed of ^fmy chain: ¹⁷But, when he was in Rome, ^ghe sought me out ^hvery diligently, and found me. ^18bThe Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in ⁱthat day: and in how many things he ^kministered unto me at ^lEphesus, thou knowest ^mvery well.
