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.

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.
