2 Timothy 1:4 WEB

²  to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

³  I thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day

⁴  longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;

⁵  having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in you; which lived first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and, I am persuaded, in you also.

⁶  For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
