POWER OF GOD

 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; Greatly desiring to see thee, being 

mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled 

with joy;  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.

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 hath not given us the spirit of 

fear; but of power, and of love, and of a 

sound mind.  Be not thou therefore ashamed 

of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his 

prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions 

of the gospel according to the power of God;

Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy 

calling, not according to our works, but according 

to his own purpose and grace, which was 

given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

II Timothy 1:6-9
