2 Timothy 1:6-10

New International Version

Appeal for Loyalty to Paul and the Gospel

⁶ For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.^{(A) 7} For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid,^(B) but gives us power,^(C) love and self-discipline. ⁸ So do not be ashamed^(D) of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner.^(E) Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel,^(F) by the power of God. ⁹ He has saved^(G) us and called^(H) us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done^(I) but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, ¹⁰ but it has now been revealed^(J) through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus,^(K) who has destroyed death^(L) and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
