| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3I constantly thank my God—whom I serve with a clear conscience, as my ancestors did—when I remember you in my prayers night and day, |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4recalling your tears and longing to see you so that I can be filled with joy. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first existed in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am convinced that this faith also exists in you. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6For this reason, I am reminding you to fan into flames the gift of God that is within you through the laying on of my hands. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but one of power, love, and self-discipline. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Therefore, never be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me, his prisoner. Instead, by God's power, join me in suffering for the sake of the gospel. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9He saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our own accomplishments, but according to his own purpose and the grace that was given to us in the Messiah Jesus before time began. |

| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11For the sake of this gospel I was appointed to be a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the gentiles. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12That is why I suffer as I do. However, I am not ashamed, for I know the one in whom I have put my trust, and I'm convinced that he is able to protect what he has entrusted to me until the day that he comes. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Hold on to the pattern of healthy teachings that you have heard from me, along with the faith and love that are in the Messiah Jesus. |

| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16May the Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus, for he often took care of me and was not ashamed that I was a prisoner. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Instead, when he arrived in Rome he searched diligently for me and found me. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18May the Lord grant that he finds mercy on the day he comes again. You know very well how much he assisted me in Ephesus. |
