2 Timothy 1:3-7

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

I Give Thanks For Your Sincere Faith, And Remind You To Rekindle The Gift of God In You

³I have gratitude to God, Whom I have served^[a] from my ancestors^[b] with a clean conscience, as I have unceasing remembrance concerning you in my prayers by night and by day— ⁴yearning to see you, having remembered your tears, in order that I may be filled with joy; ⁵having received a reminder of the sincere faith in you which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice. And I am convinced that it is also in you, ⁶for which reason I am reminding you to be rekindling^[c] the gift of God which is in you through the laying-on of my hands. ⁷For God did not give us a spirit of fearfulness^[d], but of power and love and a sound-mind^[e].
