2 Timothy 1:6-8
New English Translation
6 Because of this I remind you to rekindle God’s gift that you possess[a] through the laying on of my hands. 7 For God did not give us a Spirit[b] of fear but of power and love and self-control. 8 So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord[c] or of me, a prisoner for his sake, but by[d] God’s power accept your share of suffering[e] for the gospel.
