2 Timothy 1:6-14 - Paul's Advice For Timothy
6 On account of which cause I remind you to revive and refire the gift of God which is in you by the laying on of my hands. 7 For God has not given us the spirit of cowardice; but of power and divine love and prudence.
8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor me his prisoner: but suffer affliction for the sake of the gospel according to the power of God;
9 the one having 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 the eternal times, 10 but now having been made manifest through the appearing of Jesus Christ our Saviour, the one having indeed destroyed death, and lighted up life and immortality through the gospel,
11 unto which I have been placed a herald, and an apostle, and teacher: 12 on account of which cause I indeed suffer these things: but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to stand guard over that which is committed unto me unto that day.
13 Hold fast the form of sound words which you heard with me, in the faith and divine love which is in Christ Jesus: 14 stand guard over the beautiful deposit through the Holy Ghost who dwells in us.
