2 Timothy 1:6-10 (CJB)

For this reason, I am reminding you to fan the flame of Yehovah God’s gift, which you received through s’mikhah (laying on of hands) from me. For God gave us a Spirit who produces not timidity, but power, love and self-discipline. So don’t be ashamed of bearing testimony to our Lord or to me, his prisoner. On the contrary, accept your share in suffering disgrace for the sake of the Good News (gospel). God will give you the strength for it, since he delivered us and called us to a life of holiness as his people. It was not because of our deeds, but because of his own purpose and the grace which he gave to us who are united with the Messiah Yeshua. He did this before the beginning of time, but made it public only now through the appearing of our Deliverer, the Messiah Yeshua (Jesus), who abolished death and, through the Good News, revealed life and immortality.
