2 Timothy 1:6-14 - Paul's Advice For Timothy
6 Hence I would remind you to rekindle the divine gift which you received when my hands were laid upon you; 7 for God has not given us a timid spirit but a spirit of power and love and discipline.
8 So do not be ashamed to testify to our Lord, and do not be ashamed of a prisoner of the Lord like me; join me in bearing suffering for the gospel by the power of the God
9 who has saved us and called us to a life of consecration ??not for anything we have done but because he chose to do it himself, by the grace which he gave us ages ago in Christ Jesus 10 and has now revealed in the appearance of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who has put down death and brought life and immortality to light by the gospel.
11 Of that gospel I have been appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher, 12 and this is why I am suffering. Still, I am not ashamed of it; I know whom I have trusted and I am certain he is able to keep what I have put into his hands till the great Day.
13 Model yourself on the sound instruction you have had from me in the faith and love of Christ Jesus. 14 Keep the great securities of your faith intact, by aid of the holy Spirit that dwells within us.
