6That is why I remind you to help God’s gift grow, just as a small spark grows into a fire. God put his gift in you when I placed my hands on you.

7God didn’t give us a spirit that makes us weak and fearful. He gave us a spirit that gives us power and love. It helps us control ourselves.

Read in Logos
2 Timothy 1:7: for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
