2 Timothy 1:2-6

I'm sending it to you Timothy, my dear son. May you have grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

I'm always thinking of you and I'm so thankful to God, whom I serve as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience. I never forget to mention you in my prayers.

I remember how you cried, and I so want to see you! That would make me really happy.

I keep in mind your sincere trust in God, the same trust that your grandmother Lois and mother Eunice also had—and I know that same trust continues in you.

That's why I want to remind you to revitalize God's gracious gift to you which you received when I placed my hands on you.
