“taking remembrance of the unhypocritical faith that is in you, that first dwelt in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that also in you.”— 2 Timothy 1:5 (LSV)
2to Timotheus, beloved child: Grace, kindness, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!
3I am thankful to God, whom I serve from progenitors in a pure conscience, that I unceasingly have remembrance concerning you in my supplications night and day,
4desiring to see you greatly, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy,
5taking remembrance of the unhypocritical faith that is in you, that first dwelt in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that also in you.
6For which cause I remind you to stir up the gift of God that is in you through the putting on of my hands,
7for God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind;
8therefore you may not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but you suffer evil along with the good news according to the power of God,
