2 Timothy 1:3-7 - Timothy's Spiritual Heritage
3 I have grace to God, whom I serve from the forefathers in pure consciousness, as I have continual remembrance concerning thee in my prayers night and day; 4 Desiring earnestly to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I may be filled with joy; 5 Receiving the report of unfeigned faith in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.
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.
