2 Timothy 1:6-14 - Paul's Advice For Timothy
6 For which cause I admonish you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the imposition of my hands. 7 For God gave us not a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
8 Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but endure affliction with us in 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 purpose and grace given us in Christ Jesus from eternity, 10 but made known now through the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who destroyed death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,
11 of which I was made a herald, and an apostle, and a teacher of the nations; 12 for which cause I suffer these things; but I am not ashamed; for I know in whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep my trust to that day.
13 Retain the form of sound words which you heard from me in faith and the love in Christ Jesus. 14 Guard the good trust, through the Holy Spirit which dwells in us.
