4Desiring to see you, keeping in my memory your weeping, so that I may be full of joy;
5Having in mind your true faith, which first was in your mother's mother Lois, and in your mother Eunice, and, I am certain, is now in you.
6For this reason I say to you, Let that grace of God which is in you, given to you by my hands, have living power.
7For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of self-control.
8Have no feeling of shame, then, for the witness of our Lord or for me, his prisoner: but undergo all things for the good news in the measure of the power of God;
9Who gave us salvation, marking us out for his purpose, not on account of our works, but in the measure of his purpose and his grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,
10But has now been made clear by the revelation of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who put an end to death and made life unending come to light through the good news,
