'God' in the Bible

To: Timothy, my dear child. May grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Messiah Jesus our Lord be yours!

I constantly thank my God whom I serve with a clear conscience, as my ancestors did when I remember you in my prayers night and day,

For this reason, I am reminding you to fan into flames the gift of God that is within you through the laying on of my hands.

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but one of power, love, and self-discipline.

Remind others about these things, and warn them before God not to argue over words. Arguing does not do any good but only destroys those who are listening.

Do your best to present yourself to God as an approved worker who has nothing to be ashamed of, handling the word of truth with precision.

and gentle when refuting opponents. After all, maybe God will allow them to repent and to come to a full knowledge of the truth,

traitors, reckless, conceited, and lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.

so that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good action.

In the presence of God and the Messiah Jesus, who is going to judge those who are living and those who are dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I solemnly appeal to you
