I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience, as my ancestors did, as I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day.

I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;

I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that it now lives in you also.

When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

For this reason, I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

He has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not based on our works, but according to His own purpose and grace. This grace was given to us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,

That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day.

For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Guard the good deposit entrusted to you through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.

May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains.
