(A)I am grateful to God, whom I (B)serve with a (C)clear conscience [a]the way my forefathers did, (D)as I unceasingly remember you in my [b]prayers night and day, (E)longing to see you, (F)having remembered your tears, so that I may be filled with joy, [c]being reminded of the (G)unhypocritical faith within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and (H)your mother Eunice, and I am convinced that it is in you as well. For this reason I remind you to kindle afresh (I)the gift of God which is in you through (J)the laying on of my hands. For God has not given us a (K)spirit of [d]timidity, but of power and love and [e]self-discipline.

I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers in a pure conscience, how unceasing is my remembrance of thee in my supplications, night and day longing to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I may be filled with [a]joy; having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in thee; which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and, I am persuaded, in thee also. For which cause I put thee in remembrance that thou [b]stir up the gift of God, which is in thee through the laying on of my hands. For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and [c]discipline.
