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

6 By which I remind thee of the cause to light up the favor of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7 For God gave not to us the spirit of timidity; but of power, and love, and of soundness of mind.

8 Therefore shouldest thou not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his imprisoned: but partake of afflictions with the good news according to the power of God;

9 Who having saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, given us in Christ Jesus before eternal times, 10 And now made manifest by the appearance of our Saviour Jesus Christ, having truly left death unemployed, and having brought life and immortality to light by the good news:

11 To which I was set a herald, and sent, teacher of the nations. 12 By which cause I also suffer these things: but I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and have been persuaded that he is able to watch my deposits to that day.

13 Hold the model of sound words, which thou didst hear of me, in the faith and love which in Christ Jesus. 14 Watch the good deposit by the Holy Spirit dwelling in us.
