2Timothy:1:1-5
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Paul ,
an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God ,
according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus ,
*
To Timothy ,
my dearly beloved son :
Grace ,
mercy ,
and peace ,
from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord .
*
I thank God ,
whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience ,
that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day ;
*
Greatly desiring to see thee ,
being mindful of thy tears ,
that I may be filled with joy ;
*
When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee ,
which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois ,
and thy mother Eunice ;
and I am persuaded that in thee also .
