2 Timothy 1:4-6

New Century Version

⁴ Remembering that you cried for me, I want very much to see you so I can be filled with joy. ⁵ I remember your true faith. That faith first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and I know you now have that same faith. ⁶ This is why I remind you to keep using the gift God gave you when I laid my hands on^[a] you. Now let it grow, as a small flame grows into a fire.
