2 Timothy 1:3–9

3 eI 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; 4 lGreatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of mthy tears, that I may be filled with joy; 5 When 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. 6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou qstir up rthe gift of God, swhich is in thee tby the putting on of my hands. 7 For God hath not given us uthe spirit of fear; but vof power, and of love, and wof a sound mind. 8 xBe 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; 9 bWho 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,
