1 Timothy 4:14

New English Translation

¹⁴Do not neglect the spiritual gift you have,^[a] given to you and confirmed by prophetic words^[b] when the elders laid hands on you.^[c]

1 Timothy 4:14 tn Grk “in you.”
1 Timothy 4:14 tn Grk “which was given to you through prophecy.” Here as in 2:15 the preposition “through” denotes not “means” but accompanying circumstances: “accompanied by prophecy.”sn These prophetic words perhaps spoke of what God would do through Timothy in his ministry (cf. 1 Tim 1:18).
1 Timothy 4:14 tn Grk “with the imposition of the hands of the presbytery” (i.e., the council of elders).

2 Timothy 1:6

New English Translation

⁶Because of this I remind you to rekindle God’s gift that you possess^[a] through the laying on of my hands.

⁷For God did not give us a Spirit^[a] of fear but of power and love and self-control.

2 Timothy 1:7 tn Or “a spirit,” denoting the human personality under the Spirit’s influence as in 1 Cor 4:21; Gal 6:1; 1 Pet 3:4. But the reference to the Holy Spirit at the end of this section (1:14) makes it likely that it begins this way also, so that the Holy Spirit is the referent.
