AI-assisted, sourced2 Timothy 1:6-14Not ashamed of the gospel
About 2 Timothy 1Paul, writing to Timothy his "dearly beloved son," remembers his tears and his "unfeigned faith," which dwelt first in his grandmother Lois and his mother Eunice. He urges him to "stir up the gift of God," for "God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind," and not to be ashamed of the testimony of the Lord or of Paul his prisoner. All in Asia have turned away from Paul, but Onesiphorus "was not ashamed of my chain." 2 Timothy 1:12 Timothy 1:22 Timothy 1:42 Timothy 1:52 Timothy 1:62 Timothy 1:72 Timothy 1:82 Timothy 1:152 Timothy 1:16
