2 Timothy 1:6-14 - Paul's Advice For Timothy

⁶ Wherefore I warn thee that thou stir up the gift of God which is in thee, by the putting on of my hands. ⁷ For God hath not given to us the spirit of fear: but of power, and of love, and of soberness of mind.

⁸ Be not ashamed to testify our Lord, neither be ashamed of me, which am bound for his sake: but suffer adversity with the gospel also through the power of God,

⁹ which saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our deeds, but according to his own purpose and grace, which grace was given us through Christ Jesus before the world was, ¹⁰ but is now declared openly by the appearing of our saviour Jesus Christ, which hath put away death, and hath brought life and immortality unto light through the gospel,

¹¹ whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the gentiles: ¹² for the which cause I also suffer these things. Nevertheless, I am not ashamed. For I know whom I have believed, and am sure that he is able keep that which I have committed to his keeping against that day.

¹³ See thou have the example of the wholesome words which thou heardest of me, in faith and love which is in Jesus Christ. ¹⁴ That good thing which was committed to thy keeping, keep in the holy ghost which dwelleth in us.
