The King James Version Bible

2 Timothy 1:1-6

  1. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,

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

  3. I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;

  4. Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;

  5. When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

  6. Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
