2 Timothy 1:6-14 - Paul's Advice For Timothy
6 For this reason I now remind you to rekindle and keep burning the fire of the divine gift which came upon you when I laid my hands upon you. 7 For the Spirit that God has given us does not impart timidity but power and love and self-control.
8 So you must never be ashamed of me His prisoner, but suffer for the good news in fellowship with me and by the power of God.
9 For He saved us and called us with a holy call, not in accordance with anything that we had done, but in accordance with His own purpose and unmerited favor which was shown us through union with Christ Jesus eternal ages ago, 10 but has only recently been made known through the appearance of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who through the good news has put a stop to the power of death, and brought life and immortality to light.
11 Of this good news I have been appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher. 12 This is why I am suffering so, but I am not ashamed of it, for I know whom I have trusted and I am absolutely sure that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day.
13 Continue to be an example in wholesome instructions which you learned from me, in the faith and love that come through union with Christ Jesus. 14 Guard this fine deposit of truth by the aid of the Holy Spirit who has His home in our hearts.
