2 Timothy 1:3 – 7

3I thank God whom I serve, as did my ancestors, with a clear conscience, as I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day.  4As I remember your tears, I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy.  5I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well.  6For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, 7for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
