2 Timothy 1:3-7
Legacy Standard Bible
3 (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, 4 (E)longing to see you, (F)having remembered your tears, so that I may be filled with joy, 5 [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. 6 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. 7 For God has not given us a (K)spirit of [d]timidity, but of power and love and [e]self-discipline.

Common English Bible
Thanksgiving and prayer
3 I’m grateful to God, whom I serve with a good conscience as my ancestors did. I constantly remember you in my prayers day and night. 4 When I remember your tears, I long to see you so that I can be filled with happiness. 5 I’m reminded of your authentic faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice. I’m sure that this faith is also inside you. 6 Because of this, I’m reminding you to revive God’s gift that is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 God didn’t give us a spirit that is timid but one that is powerful, loving, and self-controlled.
