2 Timothy 1:3-10

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Thanksgiving

³I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience^(A) as my ancestors did, when I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day.^(B) ⁴Remembering your tears, I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy, ⁵clearly recalling your sincere faith^(C) that first lived in your grandmother Lois, then in your mother Eunice,^(D) and that I am convinced is in you also.

⁶Therefore, I remind you to keep ablaze^[a] the gift of God that is in you through the laying on of my hands.^(E) ⁷For God has not given us a spirit^[b] of fearfulness,^(F) but one of power,^(G) love,^(H) and sound judgment.

Not Ashamed of the Gospel

⁸So don’t be ashamed^(I) of the testimony about our Lord,^(J) or of me His prisoner.^(K) Instead, share in suffering for the gospel, relying on the power^(L) of God.

⁹He has saved us and called us
with a holy calling,^(M)
not according to our works,^(N)
but according to His own purpose^(O) and grace,
which was given to us in Christ Jesus
before time began.
¹⁰This has now been made evident
through the appearing^(P) of our Savior Christ Jesus,
who has abolished death^(Q)
and has brought life^(R) and immortality to light
through the gospel.
