2 Timothy 1:3-7
New King James Version
Timothy’s Faith and Heritage
3 I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my (A)forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day, 4 greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy, 5 when I call to remembrance (B)the [a]genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and (C)your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also. 6 Therefore I remind you (D)to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For (E)God has not given us a spirit of fear, (F)but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
