2 Timothy 1:6-8

GOD’S WORD Translation

Paul’s Advice for Timothy

⁶ You received a gift from God when I placed my hands on you ⌞to ordain you⌟. Now I’m reminding you to fan that gift into flames. ⁷ God didn’t give us a cowardly spirit but a spirit of power, love, and good judgment. ⁸ So never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord or be ashamed of me, his prisoner. Instead, by God’s power, join me in suffering for the sake of the Good News.
