Guard the Deposit Entrusted to You
3fI thank God gwhom I serve, as did my ancestors, hwith a clear conscience, as I remember you iconstantly in my prayers night and day. 4jAs I remember your tears, kI long to see you, that I may be filled with joy. 5I am reminded of lyour sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and myour mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well. 6For this reason I remind you nto fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, 7for God gave us oa spirit not of fear but pof power and love and self-control.
8Therefore qdo not be ashamed of rthe testimony about our Lord, nor of sme his prisoner, but tshare in suffering for the gospel by the power of God,
