3 I|strong="G1473" thank|strong="G5485" God|strong="G2316", whom|strong="G3739" I|strong="G1473" serve|strong="G3000" with|strong="G1722" a|strong="G2192" clear|strong="G2513" conscience|strong="G4893" as|strong="G5613" my|strong="G1722" forefathers|strong="G4269" did|strong="G2532", as|strong="G5613" night|strong="G3571" and|strong="G2532" day|strong="G2250" I|strong="G1473" constantly remember|strong="G2192" yoʋ in|strong="G1722" my|strong="G1722" prayers|strong="G1162".

5 I|strong="G2532" am|strong="G2532" reminded of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" sincere faith|strong="G4102" that|strong="G3754" is|strong="G3588" in|strong="G1722" yoʋ, which|strong="G3588" dwelt|strong="G1774" first|strong="G4413" in|strong="G1722" yoʋr grandmother|strong="G3125" Lois|strong="G3090" and|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1722" yoʋr mother|strong="G3384" Eunice|strong="G2131", and|strong="G2532" now|strong="G1161", I|strong="G2532" am|strong="G2532" sure|strong="G3982", dwells|strong="G1774" in|strong="G1722" yoʋ also|strong="G2532".
6 Therefore|strong="G1223" I|strong="G1473" remind yoʋ to|strong="G1722" rekindle the|strong="G1722" gift|strong="G5486" of|strong="G1223" God|strong="G2316" that|strong="G3739" is|strong="G1510" in|strong="G1722" yoʋ through|strong="G1223" the|strong="G1722" laying|strong="G1936" on|strong="G1722" of|strong="G1223" my|strong="G1722" hands|strong="G5495".
7 For|strong="G1063" God|strong="G2316" did|strong="G2532" not|strong="G3756" give|strong="G1325" us|strong="G1325" a|strong="G2532" spirit|strong="G4151" of|strong="G4151" timidity|strong="G1167", but|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" spirit|strong="G4151" of|strong="G4151" power|strong="G1411", love, and|strong="G2532" sound judgment.
8 Therefore|strong="G3767" do|strong="G3361" not|strong="G3361" be|strong="G3361" ashamed|strong="G1870" of|strong="G2316" the|strong="G2596" testimony|strong="G3142" of|strong="G2316" our|strong="G2316" Lord|strong="G2962" or|strong="G3366" of|strong="G2316" me|strong="G1473" his|strong="G2596" prisoner|strong="G1198". Rather, join|strong="G4777" with|strong="G2316" me|strong="G1473" in|strong="G2596" suffering|strong="G4777" for|strong="G2316" the|strong="G2596" gospel|strong="G2098" as|strong="G2596" you|strong="G3767" rely on|strong="G2596" the|strong="G2596" power|strong="G1411" of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316".
9 He|strong="G2532" saved|strong="G4982" us|strong="G1325" and|strong="G2532" called|strong="G2564" us|strong="G1325" with|strong="G1722" a|strong="G2532" holy calling|strong="G2821", not|strong="G3756" according|strong="G2596" to|strong="G2532" our|strong="G2424" works|strong="G2041", but|strong="G2532" according|strong="G2596" to|strong="G2532" his|strong="G1722" own|strong="G2398" purpose|strong="G4286" and|strong="G2532" grace|strong="G5485". This|strong="G3588" grace|strong="G5485" was|strong="G3588" given|strong="G1325" to|strong="G2532" us|strong="G1325" in|strong="G1722" Christ|strong="G5547" Jesus|strong="G2424" before|strong="G4253" time|strong="G5550" began,
10 but|strong="G1161" has|strong="G5547" now|strong="G1161" been|strong="G2532" revealed|strong="G5319" through|strong="G1223" the|strong="G2532" appearing|strong="G2015" of|strong="G1223" our|strong="G2424" Savior|strong="G4990" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547", who|strong="G3588" abolished|strong="G2673" death|strong="G2288" and|strong="G2532" brought|strong="G5461" life|strong="G2222" and|strong="G2532" immortality to|strong="G2532" light|strong="G5461" through|strong="G1223" the|strong="G2532" gospel|strong="G2098".
11 For|strong="G1519" this|strong="G3739" gospel I|strong="G1473" was|strong="G3739" appointed|strong="G5087" to|strong="G1519" be|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" preacher|strong="G2783", an|strong="G2532" apostle, and|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" teacher|strong="G1320" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Gentiles.
12 That|strong="G3754" is|strong="G1510" why|strong="G1223" I|strong="G1473" am|strong="G1510" suffering|strong="G3958" these|strong="G3778" things|strong="G3778". But|strong="G2532" I|strong="G1473" am|strong="G1510" not|strong="G3756" ashamed|strong="G1870", for|strong="G1063" I|strong="G1473" know|strong="G1492" whom|strong="G3739" I|strong="G1473" have|strong="G2532" believed|strong="G4100", and|strong="G2532" I|strong="G1473" am|strong="G1510" persuaded|strong="G3982" that|strong="G3754" he|strong="G2532" is|strong="G1510" able|strong="G1415" to|strong="G1519" guard|strong="G5442" what|strong="G3739" has|strong="G3739" been|strong="G1510" entrusted|strong="G4100" to|strong="G1519" me|strong="G1473" until|strong="G1519" that|strong="G3754" day|strong="G2250".
13 Hold|strong="G2192" to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" pattern|strong="G5296" of|strong="G3056" sound|strong="G5198" teaching|strong="G3056" that|strong="G3739" yoʋ have|strong="G2192" heard from|strong="G3844" me|strong="G1473", in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" faith|strong="G4102" and|strong="G2532" love that|strong="G3739" are|strong="G3588" in|strong="G1722" Christ|strong="G5547" Jesus|strong="G2424".
