2 Timothy 1:2-15

English Standard Version

² To Timothy, ^(A)my beloved child:

^(B)Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Guard the Deposit Entrusted to You

^3 (C)I thank God ^(D)whom I serve, as did my ancestors, ^(E)with a clear conscience, as I remember you ^(F)constantly in my prayers night and day. ^4 (G)As I remember your tears, ^(H)I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy. ⁵ I am reminded of ^(I)your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and ^(J)your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well. ⁶ For this reason I remind you ^(K)to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, ⁷ for God gave us ^(L)a spirit not of fear but ^(M)of power and love and self-control.

⁸ Therefore ^(N)do not be ashamed of ^(O)the testimony about our Lord, nor of ^(P)me his prisoner, but ^(Q)share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, ^9 (R)who saved us and ^(S)called us to^[a] a holy calling, ^(T)not because of our works but because of ^(U)his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus ^(V)before the ages began,^{[b] 10} and which now has ^(W)been manifested through ^(X)the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, ^(Y)who abolished death and ^(Z)brought life and ^(AA)immortality to light through the gospel, ^11 (AB)for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher, ^12 (AC)which is why I suffer as I do. But ^(AD)I am not ashamed, for ^(AE)I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until ^(AF)that day ^(AG)what has been entrusted to me.^{[c] 13 (AH)}Follow ^(AI)the pattern of ^(AJ)the sound^[d] words ^(AK)that you have heard from me, in ^(AL)the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. ¹⁴ By the Holy Spirit ^(AM)who dwells within us, guard ^(AN)the good deposit entrusted to you.

¹⁵ You are aware that ^(AO)all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
