2 Timothy Chapter 1

1From Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, 2to Timothy, beloved child, grace, mercy and peace from God the father and Christ Jesus our Lord. 3I thank God, whom I serve following my forebears with a clear conscience when I ceaselessly remember you in my supplications night and day, 4longing to see you, remembering your tears, so that I may be filled with joy, 5as I recall the unfeigned faith which is in you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and, I am persuaded, also in you. 6And for this reason I remind you to rekindle the gracious gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands, 7for God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and moderation. 8So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord nor of me his prisoner, but partake of the suffering for the gospel according to the power of God, 9who 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 given to us in Christ Jesus before the durations of the ages, 10but which has now been made manifest through the appearing of our saviour Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and indefectibility to light through the gospel, 11for the cause of which I have been appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher of the Gentiles. 12And for this reason I suffer these things too, but I am not ashamed, for I know in whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to keep my entrusted deposit up to that day. 13Hold on to the model of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith, and love which is in Christ Jesus. 14Guard the good entrusted deposit through the holy spirit dwelling in us. 15You know this, that all those in Asia have turned away from me, among whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes. 16May the Lord show mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chain, 17but when he arrived in Rome, he sought me very diligently and found me. 18May the Lord let him find mercy from the Lord on that day. You also know very well in how many ways he ministered in Ephesus.
