I am thankful to God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, how unceasingly I have the remembrance of thee in my supplications night and day,
2 Timothy 1:4
earnestly desiring to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
2 Timothy 1:5
calling to mind the unfeigned faith which has been in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that in thee also.
2 Timothy 1:6

Be not therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but suffer evil along with the glad tidings, according to the power of God;
2 Timothy 1:9
who has saved us, and has called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the ages of time,
2 Timothy 1:10
but has been made manifest now by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who has annulled death, and brought to light life and incorruptibility by the glad tidings;
2 Timothy 1:11
to which *I* have been appointed a herald and apostle and teacher of the nations.

Keep, by the Holy Spirit which dwells in us, the good deposit entrusted.

2 Timothy 1:18
the Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord in that day--and how much service he rendered in Ephesus *thou* knowest best.
