nsb - 2Timothy:1

nsb@2Timothy:1:1 @ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life that is in Christ Jesus,

nsb@2Timothy:1:2 @ to Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

nsb@2Timothy:1:3 @ I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience as my forefathers did, that without ceasing, I remember you in my prayers, day and night.

nsb@2Timothy:1:4 @ I greatly desire to see you, being mindful of your tears, for this will fill me with joy.

nsb@2Timothy:1:5 @ I am mindful of your sincere faith, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am sure that it is in you as well.

nsb@2Timothy:1:6 @ For this reason I remind you to kindle afresh the gift of God that is in you because of the laying on of my hands.

nsb@2Timothy:1:7 @ God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.

nsb@2Timothy:1:8 @ Do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me his prisoner. Join me in suffering for the good news according to the power of God.

nsb@2Timothy:1:9 @ God has saved us and called us with a holy calling. This is not according to our works, but according to his purpose and grace that was granted us in Christ Jesus, from all eternity.

nsb@2Timothy:1:10 @ The appearance of our Savior Christ Jesus revealed this. Jesus abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the good news.

nsb@2Timothy:1:11 @ I was appointed to be a messenger of this good news, an apostle, and a teacher.

nsb@2Timothy:1:12 @ It is for this reason that I suffer these things. But I am still full of confidence, because I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to keep safe until that day what he has entrusted to me.

nsb@2Timothy:1:13 @ Hold firmly to the true words that I taught you, as the example for you to follow. Remain in the faith and love that are ours in union with Christ Jesus.

nsb@2Timothy:1:14 @ Through the power of the Holy Spirit, who lives in us. Keep the good things that have been entrusted to you.

nsb@2Timothy:1:15 @ You know that all that are in Asia turned away from me. This includes Phygelus and Hermogenes.

nsb@2Timothy:1:16 @ The Lord grants mercy to the house of Onesiphorus: for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chains.

nsb@2Timothy:1:17 @ When he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me.

nsb@2Timothy:1:18 @ May the Lord grant him to find the mercy of God in that day, and in how many things he ministered at Ephesus, you know very well.
