2 Timothy 1:1-6

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by God's will--a will that contains Christ Jesus' promise of life.

2 To Timothy, my dear child. Good will, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!

3 I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day when I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience as my ancestors did.

4 I remember your tears and want to see you so that I can be filled with happiness.

5 I'm reminded of how sincere your faith is. That faith first lived in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice. I'm convinced that it also lives in you.

6 You received a gift from God when I placed my hands on you [to ordain you]. Now I'm reminding you to fan that gift into flames.

2 To Timothy, my dear son: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3 I thank God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers.

5 I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.
