2 Timothy 1:3-7
English Standard Version
Guard the Deposit Entrusted to You
3 (A)I thank God (B)whom I serve, as did my ancestors, (C)with a clear conscience, as I remember you (D)constantly in my prayers night and day. 4 (E)As I remember your tears, (F)I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy. 5 I am reminded of (G)your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and (H)your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well. 6 For this reason I remind you (I)to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, 7 for God gave us (J)a spirit not of fear but (K)of power and love and self-control.

2 Timothy 1:3-7
New Living Translation
Encouragement to Be Faithful
3 Timothy, I thank God for you—the God I serve with a clear conscience, just as my ancestors did. Night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. 4 I long to see you again, for I remember your tears as we parted. And I will be filled with joy when we are together again.
5 I remember your genuine faith, for you share the faith that first filled your grandmother Lois and your mother, Eunice. And I know that same faith continues strong in you. 6 This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
