001:001 Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus, by the will of God, for proclaiming the promise of the Life which is in Christ Jesus:
001:002 To Timothy my dearly-loved child. May grace, mercy and peace be granted to you from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
001:003 I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience—as my forefathers did—that night and day I unceasingly remember you in my prayers,
001:004 being always mindful of your tears, and longing to see you that I may be filled with joy.
001:005 For I recall the sincere faith which is in your heart— a faith which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and then in your mother Eunice, and, I am fully convinced, now dwells in you also.
001:006 For this reason let me remind you to rekindle God's gift which is yours through the laying on of my hands.
001:007 For the Spirit which God has given us is not a spirit of cowardice, but one of power and of love and of sound judgement.
001:008 Do not be ashamed then to bear witness for our Lord and for me His prisoner; but rather share suffering with me in the service of the Good News, strengthened by the power of God.
