2 Timothy 1:6-15
King James Version
2 Timothy 1:6-15
King James Version
6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
15 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

Appeal for Loyalty to Paul and the Gospel
6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.(A) 7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid,(B) but gives us power,(C) love and self-discipline. 8 So do not be ashamed(D) of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner.(E) Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel,(F) by the power of God. 9 He has saved(G) us and called(H) us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done(I) but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, 10 but it has now been revealed(J) through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus,(K) who has destroyed death(L) and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. 11 And of this gospel(M) I was appointed(N) a herald and an apostle and a teacher.(O) 12 That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame,(P) because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard(Q) what I have entrusted to him until that day.(R)
13 What you heard from me,(S) keep(T) as the pattern(U) of sound teaching,(V) with faith and love in Christ Jesus.(W) 14 Guard(X) the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.(Y)
Examples of Disloyalty and Loyalty
15 You know that everyone in the province of Asia(Z) has deserted me,(AA) including Phygelus and Hermogenes.
