2 Timothy 1 : King James Version

1 1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of
God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace,
from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. 3I thank
God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that
without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and
day; 4Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy
tears, that I may be filled with joy; 5When I call to
remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first
in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded
that in thee also. 6Wherefore I put thee in remembrance
that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting
on of my hands. 7For God hath not given us the spirit of
fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 8Be
not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me
his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel
according to the power of God; 9Who hath saved us, and
called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but
according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ
Jesus before the world began, 10But is now made manifest
by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished
death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the
gospel: 11Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an
apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. 12For the which
cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for
I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to
keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. 13Hold
fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith
and love which is in Christ Jesus. 14That good thing
which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth
in us. 15This thou knowest, that all they which are in
Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
16The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for
he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain: 17But,
when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
18The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the
Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at
Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
