lont 2Timothy:1:3-2 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
I give thanks to God , (
whom from my forefathers I serve with a pure conscience ,)
that I have unceasing remembrance of you in my prayers night and day ;
*
remembering your tears ,
I greatly desire to see you ,
that I may be filled with joy :
*
calling to remembrance also the unfeigned faith which is in you ,
which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois ,
and in your mother Eunice ,
and I am persuaded that it dwells in you also .
*
For which cause I put you in mind to stir up the spiritual gift of God ,
which is in you through the imposition of my hands .
*
For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice ;
but of power ,
and of love ,
and of self-government .
*
Wherefore ,
be not ashamed of the testimony of our Lord ,
nor of me his prisoner ;
but jointly suffer evil for the gospel ,
according to the power of God ;
*
who has saved us ,
and called us with a holy calling , -
not on account of our works ;
but on account of his own purpose and favor ,
which was given us through Christ Jesus ,
before the times of the ages ,
*
and is now manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ ;
who has ,
indeed ,
vanquished death ,
and brought life and incorruptibility to light by the gospel :
*
of which I am appointed a herald ,
and an Apostle ,
and a teacher of the Gentiles :
*
for which cause I also suffer these things .
Nevertheless ,
I am not ashamed ;
for I know in whom I have believed ,
and I am persuaded that he is able to preserve what I have committed in trust to him ,
till that day .
*
The form of wholesome words ,
which you have heard from me ,
hold fast ,
with the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus .
*
The good deposit guard by the Holy Spirit ,
who dwells in us .
*
You know this ,
that all they who are in Asia have turned me off ;
of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes .
*
May the Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus ;
for he often refreshed me ,
and was not ashamed of my chain :
*
but being in Rome ,
he sought me out very diligently ,
and found me .
*
May the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord in that day !
And how many services he rendered to me in Ephesus ,
you well know .
