2 Timothy 1:3-7
New International Version
Thanksgiving
3 I thank God,(A) whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience,(B) as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers.(C) 4 Recalling your tears,(D) I long to see you,(E) so that I may be filled with joy. 5 I am reminded of your sincere faith,(F) which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice(G) and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.
Appeal for Loyalty to Paul and the Gospel
6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.(H) 7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid,(I) but gives us power,(J) love and self-discipline.
