2Timothy:1:3-2
Seeker Overlay ON
*
I thank God whom ,
I serve ,
following in the steps of my forefathers ,
with a pure conscience ,
while I constantly mention you in my prayers night and day ,
*
remembering your tears and longing to see you ,
that I may be filled with joy .
*
I remember the sincere faith that is in you ,
which lived first in your grandmother Lois and then in your mother Eunice ,
and I am confident that it lives in you also .
*
For this reason let me remind you to kindle anew the gift of God that is in you by the laying on of my hands .
*
For God has not given us a spirit of fear ,
but of power and love and self-control .
*
Do not be ashamed to testify for our Lord or for me his prisoner ,
but join in suffering hardships for the good news as God gives power .
*
It is he who saved us and called us with a holy calling ,
not according to our deeds but according to his own purpose and grace ,
given to us in Christ Jesus ages ago
*
but now manifested by the appearance of our Savior Christ Jesus ,
who has defeated death and brought to light life and immortality by the good news .
*
For this I was made a herald and an apostle and a teacher ,
*
and for this reason I am suffering these things .
But I am not ashamed ,
for I know in whom I have put my faith ,
and am confident that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day .
*
Hold to the example of wholesome words which you heard from me in faith and love in Christ Jesus .
*
Guard through the Holy Spirit which dwells in us the precious trust committed to you .
*
You know that all of those in Asia have deserted me .
Among them are Phygelus and Hermogenes .
*
The Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus ,
for he often cheered me and was not ashamed of my chain ;
*
but when he came to Rome he looked me up eagerly and found me .
*
The Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord on that day !
And in how many ways he served me in Ephesus you know better still .
