2. to Timothy, my beloved son: Favour, compassion, peace from Elohim the Father, and Messiah יהושע our Master.
3. I thank Elohim, whom I serve with a clear conscience, as my forefathers did, as I unceasingly remember you in my prayers night and day,
4. longing to see you, as I remember your tears, so that I might be filled with joy.
5. For I recollect the sincere belief which is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunike, and I am persuaded is in you too.
6. For this reason I remind you to stir up the gift of Elohim which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
