2 Timothy 1:3-7

Revised Geneva Translation

³ I thank God, Whom I serve with pure conscience (as my forefathers did), remembering you in my prayers night and day, without ceasing;

⁴ desiring to see you, mindful of your tears, so that I may be filled with joy

⁵ when I call to remembrance the sincere faith that is in you (which dwelt first in your grandmother, Lois, and in your mother, Eunice, and assuredly dwells in you also).

⁶ Therefore, I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you by the laying on of my hands.

⁷ For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of self-control.
