2 Timothy 1:3-7
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
I Give Thanks For Your Sincere Faith, And Remind You To Rekindle The Gift of God In You
3 I have gratitude to God, Whom I have served[a] from my ancestors[b] with a clean conscience, as I have unceasing remembrance concerning you in my prayers by night and by day— 4 yearning to see you, having remembered your tears, in order that I may be filled with joy; 5 having received a reminder of the sincere faith in you which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice. And I am convinced that it is also in you, 6 for which reason I am reminding you to be rekindling[c] the gift of God which is in you through the laying-on of my hands. 7 For God did not give us a spirit of fearfulness[d], but of power and love and a sound-mind[e].
