2 Timothy 1:6-8

New Testament for Everyone

⁶ That’s why I now want to remind you that God gave you a gift when I laid my hands on you, and that you must bring it back into a blazing fire! ⁷ After all, the spirit given to us by God isn’t a fearful spirit; it’s a spirit of power, love and prudence.

Don’t be ashamed!

⁸ So don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me as his prisoner. Rather, suffer for the gospel along with us, in accordance with God’s power.
