nkjv 2Timothy:1:3-2 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
I thank God ,
whom I serve with a pure conscience ,
as my forefathers did ,
as without ceasing I remember 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 genuine faith that is in you ,
which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice ,
and I am persuaded is in you also .
*
Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands .
*
For God has not given us a spirit of fear ,
but of power and of love and of a sound mind .
*
Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord ,
nor of me His prisoner ,
but share with me in the sufferings for 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 to us in Christ Jesus before time began ,
*
but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ ,
who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel ,
*
to which I was appointed a preacher ,
an apostle ,
and a teacher of the Gentiles .
*
For this reason 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 what I have committed to Him until that Day .
*
Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me ,
in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus .
*
That good thing which was committed to you ,
keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us .
*
This you know ,
that all those in Asia have turned away from me ,
among whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes .
*
The Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus ,
for he often refreshed me ,
and was not ashamed of my chain ;
*
but when he arrived in Rome ,
he sought me out very zealously and found me .
*
The Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that Day--and you know very well how many ways he ministered to me at Ephesus .
