2 Timothy 1:6-14Amplified Bible (AMP)
6 That is why I remind you to [a]fan into flame the
gracious gift of God, [that inner fire—the special
endowment] which is in you through the laying on of my
hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]. 7 For
God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or
fear, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love
and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities
that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-
control].
8 So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord or about
me His prisoner, but with me take your share of suffering
for the gospel [continue to preach regardless of the
circumstances], in accordance with the power of God [for
His power is invincible], 9 for He delivered us and saved
us and called us with a holy calling [a calling that leads
to a consecrated life—a life set apart—a life of purpose],
not because of our works [or because of any personal merit—
we could do nothing to earn this], but because of His own
purpose and grace [His amazing, undeserved favor] which was
granted to us in Christ Jesus before the world began
[eternal ages ago], 10 but now [that extraordinary purpose
and grace] has been fully disclosed and realized by us
through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus who
[through His incarnation and earthly ministry] abolished
death [making it null and void] and brought life and
immortality to light through the gospel, 11 for which I was
appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher [of this
good news regarding salvation]. 12 This is why I suffer as
I do. Still, I am not ashamed; for I know Him [and I am
personally acquainted with Him] whom I have believed [with
absolute trust and confidence in Him and in the truth of
His deity], and I am persuaded [beyond any doubt] that He
is able to guard that which I have entrusted to Him until
that day [when I stand before Him]. 13 Keep and follow
the pattern of sound teaching (doctrine) which you have
heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ
Jesus. 14 Guard [with greatest care] and keep unchanged,
the treasure [that precious truth] which has been entrusted
to you [that is, the good news about salvation through
personal faith in Christ Jesus], through [the help of] the
Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
