2 Timothy 1:6

2 Timothy 1:6

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,

11 ^ato which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher¹ of the Gentiles.

<< 2 Timothy 1:5

2 Timothy 1:7 >>

II Timothy 1:6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance. From the earnestness with which he stirs up Timothy in both Epistles, it seems likely that he did not possess the rugged, restless energy of Paul. That thou stir up the gift of God. The supernatural gift which he received by the imposition of the apostolic hands. The gift of office was conferred by ordination at the hands of the presbytery; the gift of miraculous powers, by the imposition of the hands of an apostle.
