2 Timothy 1:6-14 - Paul's Advice For Timothy
6 for which reason I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power and love and self-discipline.
8 Therefore, do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor me his prisoner, but suffer along with [me] for the gospel, according to the power of God,
9 who saved us and called [us] with a holy calling, not according to our works but according to his own purpose and grace that was given to us in Christ Jesus {before time began}, 10 but has now been disclosed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought to light life and immortality through the gospel,
11 for which I was appointed a proclaimer and an apostle and a teacher, 12 for which reason also I suffer these [things]. But [I am] not ashamed, because I know in whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard [what] I have entrusted until that day.
13 Hold fast to the pattern of sound words which you heard from me, in the faith and love [that are] in Christ Jesus. 14 Guard the good deposit through the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
