kjc 2Timothy:1:3-2 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
I thank God ,
whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience ,
that without ceasing I have remembrance of you in my prayers night and day ;
*
Greatly desiring to see you ,
being mindful of your tears ,
that I may be filled with joy ;
*
When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in you ,
which dwelled first in your grandmother Lois ,
and your mother Eunice ;
and I am persuaded that in you also .
*
Therefore I put you in remembrance that you stir up the gift of God ,
which is in you by the putting on of my hands .
*
For God has not given us the spirit of fear ;
but of power ,
and of love ,
and of a sound mind .
*
Be not you therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord ,
nor of me his prisoner :
but be you partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God ;
*
Who has saved us ,
and called us with a holy calling ,
not according to our works ,
but according to his own purpose and grace ,
which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began ,
*
But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ ,
who has abolished death ,
and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel :
*
Whereunto I am appointed a preacher ,
and an apostle ,
and a teacher of the Gentiles .
*
For the which cause I also suffer these things :
nevertheless I am not ashamed :
for I know whom I have believed ,
and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day .
*
Hold fast the form of sound words ,
which you have heard of me ,
in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus .
*
That good thing which was committed unto you keep by the Holy Ghost which dwells in us .
*
This you know ,
that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me ;
of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes .
*
The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus ;
for he often refreshed me ,
and was not ashamed of my chain :
*
But ,
when he was in Rome ,
he sought me out very diligently ,
and found me .
*
The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day :
and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus ,
you know very well .
