2 Timothy 1:5
Which dwelt - A word not applied to a transient guest, but only to a settled inhabitant. First - Probably this was before Timothy was born, yet not beyond St. Paul's memory.
Timothy’s Faith and Heritage
3 I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my aforefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day,
4 greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy,
5 when I call to remembrance athe genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and byour mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also.
6 Therefore I remind you ato stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
7 For aGod has not given us a spirit of fear, bbut of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Not Ashamed of the Gospel
8 aTherefore do not be ashamed of bthe testimony of our Lord, nor of me cHis prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God,
9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, anot according to our works, but baccording to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus cbefore time began,
10 but ahas now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,
