2 Timothy
2 Timothy 1 ©
1 Paul affectionately saluteth Timothy, 3 assuring him of his constant prayers for him, and remembrance of that sincere faith which had been derived to Timothy from his mother and grandmother. 6 He exhorteth him to stir up the gift of God which was in him; 8 and not to be ashamed of the testimony of the gospel, but to be ready to suffer for it according to his example: 13 and to hold fast the form of sound words which he had learned. 15 He putteth him in mind of the general defection of the converts in Asia, 16 and commendeth Onesiphorus for his repeated kindness toward him.
Who shath saved us, and tcalled us with an holy calling, unot according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
vBut is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath wabolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
For the which cause I also ysuffer these things: nevertheless zI am not ashamed: for I know whom I have 1believed, and am persuaded that ahe is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
But, when he was gin Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
