3
{I am thankful}a to God, whom I have served with a clear conscience {as my ancestors did}b, when {I remember you constantly}c in my prayers night and day,
4
longing to see you [as I]d remember your tears, so that I may be filled with joy,
5
{remembering the}e sincere faith in you, which lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am convinced that [is] in you also,
6
for which reason I remind you to rekindle the gift of God that is in you through the laying on of my hands.
7
For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power and love and self-discipline.
