2|Tim.|1:3|-|I thank God, whom I |1a|serve |2|from my|b|forefathers in a |3c|pure conscience, while unceasingly I have remembrance concerning you in my petitions |d|night and day, 2|Tim.|1:4|-||a|Longing to see you, remembering your |b|tears, that I may be |c|filled with joy; 2|Tim.|1:5|-|Having been reminded of the |a|unfeigned faith in you, which |1|dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your |b|mother Eunice, and I am persuaded dwells also in you. 2|Tim.|1:6|-|For which cause I remind you to |1|fan into flame the |a|gift of God, which is in you through the |2b|laying on of my hands. 2|Tim.|1:7|-|For God has not given us a |1a|spirit of |b|cowardice, but |2|of |c|power and of |d|love and of |e|sobermindedness. 2|Tim.|1:8|-||1|Therefore do |2|not be |a|ashamed of the |b|testimony of our Lord nor of me |c|His prisoner; but |d|suffer evil with the |3e|gospel |4|according to the |f|power of God; 2|Tim.|1:9|-|Who has saved us and |1a|called us with a holy calling, not according to our |b|works but according to His own |2c|purpose and |d|grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus |3|before the |e|times of the ages 2|Tim.|1:10|-|But now has been |1a|manifested through the |b|appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who |2|nullified |c|death and brought |3d|life and |4e|incorruption to light through the gospel, 2|Tim.|1:11|-|For |1|which I was |a|appointed a |2|herald and an apostle and a teacher. 2|Tim.|1:12|-|For which |1|cause also I |a|suffer these things; but I am |2|not |b|ashamed, for I know |3|whom I have |c|believed, and I am persuaded that He is able to |d|guard |4|my |e|deposit unto |5f|that day. 2|Tim.|1:13|-||a|Hold a |1|pattern of the |2b|healthy words that you have |c|heard from me, in the |3d|faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 2|Tim.|1:14|-||a|Guard the good |1|deposit through the Holy |b|Spirit who |2|dwells in us.
2|Tim.|1:15|-|This you know, that all who are in |1a|Asia |2b|turned away from me, of whom are |3|Phygelus and Hermogenes. 2|Tim.|1:16|-|May the Lord grant |a|mercy to the house of |1b|Onesiphorus, for he often |c|refreshed me and was not |d|ashamed of my |e|chain; 2|Tim.|1:17|-|But being in |a|Rome, he sought me out diligently and found me. 2|Tim.|1:18|-|May the Lord grant him to find |a|mercy from the Lord in |1b|that day. And in how many things he served me in |c|Ephesus, you know best.
