2 Timothy 1:4-10

English Standard Version

^4 (A)As I remember your tears, ^(B)I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy. ⁵ I am reminded of ^(C)your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and ^(D)your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well. ⁶ For this reason I remind you ^(E)to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, ⁷ for God gave us ^(F)a spirit not of fear but ^(G)of power and love and self-control.

⁸ Therefore ^(H)do not be ashamed of ^(I)the testimony about our Lord, nor of ^(J)me his prisoner, but ^(K)share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, ^9 (L)who saved us and ^(M)called us to^[a] a holy calling, ^(N)not because of our works but because of ^(O)his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus ^(P)before the ages began,^{[b] 10} and which now has ^(Q)been manifested through ^(R)the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, ^(S)who abolished death and ^(T)brought life and ^(U)immortality to light through the gospel,
