International Standard Version
2 Timothy 1:7-9
International Standard Version
7 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but one of power, love, and self-discipline.[a] 8 Therefore, never be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me, his prisoner. Instead, by God’s power, join me in suffering for the sake of the gospel.
9 He saved us
and called us with a holy calling,
not according to our own accomplishments,
but according to his own purpose and the grace
that was given to us in the Messiah[b] Jesus
before time began.[c]
