2 Timothy 1:3-18 - ESV Bible - I thank God whom I serve, as did my ancestors,...

Guard the Deposit Entrusted to You

3 ¹I thank God ²whom I serve, as did my ancestors, ³with a clear conscience, as I remember you ⁴constantly in my prayers night and day.

4 ⁵As I remember your tears, ⁶I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy.

5 I am reminded of ⁷your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and ⁸your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well.

6 For this reason I remind you ⁹to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands,

7 for God gave us ¹⁰a spirit not of fear but ¹¹of power and love and self-control.

8 Therefore ¹²do not be ashamed of ¹³the testimony about our Lord, nor of ¹⁴me his prisoner, but ¹⁵share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God,

9 ¹⁶who saved us and ¹⁷called us to^a a holy calling, ¹⁸not because of our works but because of ¹⁹his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus ²⁰before the ages began,^b

10 and which now has ²¹been manifested through ²²the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, ²³who abolished death and ²⁴brought life and ²⁵immortality to light through the gospel,

11 ²⁶for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher,

12 ²⁷which is why I suffer as I do. But ²⁸I am not ashamed, for ²⁹I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until ³⁰that Day ³¹what has been entrusted to me.^c

13 ³²Follow ³³the pattern of ³⁴the sound^d words ³⁵that you have heard from me, in ³⁶the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

14 By the Holy Spirit ³⁷who dwells within us, guard ³⁸the good deposit entrusted to you.

15 You are aware that ³⁹all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

16 May the Lord grant mercy to ⁴⁰the household of Onesiphorus, for he often ⁴¹refreshed me and was not ashamed of ⁴²my chains,

17 but when he arrived in Rome ⁴³he searched for me earnestly and found me--

18 may the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on ⁴⁴that Day!--and you well know all the service he ⁴⁵rendered at Ephesus.
