2 Timothy 1:6-8

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁶ That is why I am telling you again. You must use God's gift. It was given to you when I put my hands on your head.

⁷ God has not given us a spirit of fear. But he has given us a spirit of power and love and self-control.

⁸ So do not be ashamed to talk about our Lord. And do not be ashamed of me. I am his prisoner. Be patient in your trouble also, because you tell the good news. God will give you the power to do it.
